Manny Pacquiao cries foul over Antonio Margarito's Hydroxycut usage

[Century Tuna]

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Controversy erupted Saturday night before Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito even got in the ring.

A weight loss supplement was seen in Margarito's dressing room before the fight, and Pacquiao's team demanded that he be tested before the fight for possible banned substances. Texas officials, though, said the testing would be done after the fight as usual.

The weight loss supplement was reportedly Hydroxycut, sold over the counter.

Margarito struggled to lose the last few pounds this week to make the 150-pound contract weight for the fight.

Margarito has been a WW since he was 18, So yes he would struggle to even make 154 and i guess he must have been struggling to get himself down to 147 for a few years now.

margarito should retire for good

That's ironic.....Manny's camp wanting to have anyone tested before a fight is laughable. 7 days before and a day after should be good enough. Right?

Except they actually had some evidence for the request and not just baseless conjecture...
