Boxing News: Will Antonio Margarito’s Size be Too Much For Manny Pacquiao? This November 13th from Cowboys Stadium welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will defend his title against Antonio Margarito. The southpaw flamethrower Pacquiao, 51-3-2, 38 KO’s, is coming off a dominating one-sided decision over Joshua Clottey at 147 lbs. as a -675 boxing betting favorite. Margarito, 38-6, 27 KO’s, shook off the ring rust from a one year suspension with a lackadaisical decision win over Mexican prospect Roberto Garcia as a 6-1 boxing betting favorite. Despite Margarito’s uninspiring performance against Garcia he has some favorable match-up advantages over Pacquiao, most notably his size. By fight time Margarito could have 20 Lbs. of weight and his 5” height advantage could be a major headache for the smaller Filipino.
Boxing Predictions Analysis: We sized up both of these world-class pugs head-to-head and have come to the conclusion that Pacquiao will have sizeable advantages in hand and foot speed while Margarito will be the much bigger man in the ring. The size differential might not have quite the impact that one might expect after Pacquiao proved that he can handle a bigger fighter with his annihilation of 5’11” Oscar De La Hoya. The Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito Fight Odds give Pacquiao a 80% chance of winning on the Boxing Betting Moneyline.
Get the latest boxing news on all the top fights including the Devon Alexander vs Andriy Kotelnik title fight on August 7th. If your looking for online boxing news from the top boxing experts and analysts.
Margarito has not shown that he can handle world-class fighters that possess great speed after he was pummeled by the much faster Shane Mosley. Antonio never stops coming however and Pacquiao has shown a vulnerability to Margarito’s best punch, the uppercut.
