By Lem Satterfield - The most anticipated fight of the year is only a few days away. WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will pursue an eight divisional title by rising to 150-pounds to face former title-holder Antonio Margarito on Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 knockouts) vs. Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs) will headline a four fight televised card on HBO pay per view.
Pacquiao has been unbeaten since March of 2005, when he dropped a twelve round unanimous decision to Erik Morales at super featherweight. Pacquiao returned to knock Morales out in the next two fights of their trilogy. On Saturday night, he will attempt to secure his 13th straight victory and the ninth knockout of his run.
"It's [moving up in weight] difficult, because I'm used to training and losing weight. When you train, you automatically lose weight. But I have to eat around 7,000 calories a day to keep the weight on. I have to get up in the middle of the night and eat eggs just to keep the weight on," said Pacquiao to FanHouse.
