    Nevada Commission Director Keith Kizer Talks Antonio Margarito

    Top Rank Promotions CEO Bob Arumext (pictured above, at right), has indicated that Antonio Margaritoext (pictured above, at left) is the front runner to face Manny Pacquiaoext on Nov. 13 for the vacant WBC junior middleweight (154 pounds) title either in Las Vegas, if Margarito's license is renewed there, or Monterrey, Mex.

    If it happens, Pacquiao would be pursuing a record eighth crown in as many different weight classes against the 32-year-old Margarito (38-6, 27 knockouts), who was in the running with WBA king Miguel Cottoext (35-2, 28 knockouts), a man Pacquiao dethroned by 12th-round knockout in November, for his current WBO welterweight (147 pounds) belt.

    Margarito still is not licensed to fight in America, this after his boxing license was revoked by the California State Athletic Commission following an illegal hand-wrapping scandal in January 2009. Margarito, whose suspension officially ended on Feb. 11, unsuccessfully applied for a license in Nevada, whose state athletic commission ruled that he must re-apply in California and have his case re-tried there before attempting to fight in Las Vegas.

    But Nevada State Athletic Commission director Keith Kizerext, told FanHouse that Margarito, through his attorney, David Marroso, has applied for a "conditional," one-fight license to meet Pacquiao in Las Vegas, a situation Kizer addresses in this Q&A.
