The people of Antonio Margarito does not seem to really like the idea that his rematch with Miguel Cotto is in New York.
Tijuana fighter's coach, Robert Garcia, expressed some discomfort with the idea that the fight with Cotto said, scheduled to be held on December 3, could be at Madison Square Garden and Las Vegas, Nevada, due to many Puerto Ricans who are expected crowd the steps of the legendary New York arena.
But Garcia said that while the meeting takes place at the Garden, hopes that Margarito silenced the noisy fans boricua.
The promoter and founder of Top Rank, Bob Arum, said recently that it has virtually agreed to the match between Cotto and Margarito in December and said it only refine some details missing, including headquarters.
"Of course we would like to be in Las Vegas. West Coast is almost near our house, "Garcia said in an interview with the portal" examiner.com "Las Vegas.
"New York will be frozen and the journey would be long. In addition, the Garden will be full of Puerto Ricans, "he said.
However, the brain at the corner of his protege said Margarito Cotto face anywhere.
"That will not be a problem for Margarito. He is ready and willing to face Cotto and will not be any difference (which is New York). Margarito wants to prove to the whole world wrong with him.
In his first bout in July 2008, Margarito stopped Cotto in 11 rounds to snatch the title welterweight World Boxing Organization (WBO).
In January 2009, he discovered illegal bandage before his encounter with "Sugar" Shane Mosley and was subsequently suspended for one year by the Boxing Commission of the State of California. The scandal raised doubts about whether his win over Cotto was legitimate.
For now, Garcia said that Margarito is in good condition, although it still does not train full time.
"It's great. It is not sparring but remains in condition, "Garcia said.
