This Sunday, November 14, (Sat, Nov. 13 in US) Filipinos pride Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao will be facing again another Mexican boxer, Antonio "Tijuana Tornado" Margarito. Each fighter were hoping to win the fight, one is for history and the other for redemption. Pacquiao if ever, will be the first boxer who will hold 8 titles in 8 different world class while Margarito is hungry to win the bout to redeem himself after his hand wraps scandal, (he was caught with plaster of Paris in his fist) his license have been revoked by California State Commision in February 2009.
Pacquiao wanted to have a face off with Floyd Mayweather Jr. but the latter refuses (why do Floyd always have an alibi when asked to sign a fight contract against Pacquiao?). Mayweather is currently facing criminal charges from alleged domestic dispute.
The Pacquiao - Margarito fight will be held at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fighters will contend for the vacant WBC Light Middleweight Title. The bout is scheduled for 12 rounds.
