Pacquiao's Adviser: Manny Will Overwhelm Margarito
By Lem Satterfield
The adviser to Manny Pacquiao, Michael Koncz, predicts another overwhelming performance by the Filipino champion. On November 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Pacquiao will face Antonio Margarito for the vacant WBC junior middleweight title. Koncz sees Margarito being overwhelmed by Pacquiao's speed in the same way as past opponents.
"I think that it's going to be a very exciting fight. As I said before, styles make fights. Antonio Margarito has a one-dimensional style," said Koncz. "Margarito is going to come forward and he's going to throw a lot of punches. But I think that, again, the speed of Manny is going to be overwhelming for Margarito, but it will be a great fight as long as it lasts."
As Koncz has stated in the past, he believes Pacquiao-Margarito will set an attendance record. Pacquiao's March win over Joshua Clottey drew over 50,000 fans to Cowboys Stadium. This time around, Koncz sees 75,000 turning out.
"I think that if they open the stadium up, we'll fill it with 75,000. With Clottey, we did 50-something thousand and set a new record. And there are a lot of Hispanics in that area. We have the good-guy, bad-guy element, so I think that we'll do it," said Koncz.
