Freddie Roach knows the threat that is Antonio Margarito.

[Doctor_Tenma]

He knows that Margarito isn't gonna go into a shell and isn't gonna fold mentally.

He knows that Margario is gonna PUNCH WITH Manny Pacquiao.

He knows that Pacquiao isn't gonna have the same speed at 149, the kind of speed that allows him to hurt guys because they don't see the punches coming.

He knows that 10 oz gloves are going to take away from Pacquiao's speed and power.

He knows that Margarito is gonna be greatly conditioned and will most likely rehydrate up to 167+++.

He also knows that Margarito is very determined and has ALOT to prove.


This is exactly why they want to weaken him. I don't give a shit about "Margarito isn't gonna be drained at 149", those 5...

5 extra pounds would have made a HUGE difference. I'm really sick of that PED infested midget.

Even at 154 for Margarito and Pac weighing in at 147 he still takes Margarito out...He doesnt need the advantages that his team seem to be looking for him, I think they need to have more confidence in Pac. The guy is a beast......

Margarito is monster but he has the style that Pacquiao likes.

No one will stand toe to toe against Pacquiao and beat him.

At the limit of 154, Margarito would have been that dude. Again, Pacquiao does not have Mosley's strength. I don't understand why some people have a hard time understanding that. Margarito would have forced Pacquiao to move.

They dont seem to have much confidence in Pac... they dont need to try and drain Antonio (not that he'll be drained at 150) Pac will destroy him at any weight IMO.. he'll fight like he did vs Oscar and try not to eat leather too often. He wont trade like in the Cotto fight until the later rounds when Antonio is worn down.

Late KO for Pac..

I wont watch this fight on PPV for two reasons... the Belt on the line at a Catch weight. And the fact that Margo IMO is a dirty cheater. I'll watch Pac kill him in the morning on Youtube.

War PAC!!!!

Everything was very righteous until that

Well man, thats exactly what he IS.

[Silencers]

Pacquiao's speed isn't going anywhere, I'd be surprised if he weighs in even 2 pounds within the 150 pound limit, I expect him to be like 145 or 146.

Pacquiao has to weigh in over 147 and the 10 oz gloves will do that to him, thats inevitable man. Even Mayweather was noticeably slower against Oscar, and had most of his shots picked off against Oscar.

The speed difference will kill cheato. Marg will not be able to land much on Pac.
