According to Manny Pacquiao, he simply does not believe that Antonio Margarito was totally unaware that he was using illegal hand wraps before going on a fight approximately two years ago.
Nevertheless, he does believe that Margarito deserves to have another go at his boxing career. He just does not buy the defense Margarito is giving as well as the passionate arguments of Bob Arum.
Pacquiao said, “Of course, I believe he knew… he’s the one who wraps his hands. He’s just making some alibi for some reason. What do you think? My belief is you (would) know that.”
During a small get-together held the previous Tuesday, Pacquiao stated that he wants somebody to watch Margarito getting his hands wrapped by the time they meet in Texas. As it is, Texas is the only place that allowed Margarito to step back in the ring after being denied by California and Nevada.
“My concern is that we have somebody in the dressing room, someone else watching him,” said the pound-for-pound champion.
The fight between Pacquiao and Margarito will be Pacman’s eighth weight class title, should he win the bout. The fight will be held on November 13 at Cowboys Stadium, Texas.
