Even though anguish a ruthless loss to Manny Pacquiao last November, Antonio Margarito’s reserve is still soaring enough to land him another big fight. Margarito will collide with Cotto. Margarito is right on track to challenge current WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto. Margarito’s trainer, Robert Garcia had the following to say about Margarito’s future plans. The plan is not to fight until June. He took some time off, after the fight with Pacquiao. But he was ready to go right away. He said he would be ready for March, but I actually believe that a fighter, like he trains for two months, I think he also needs two months to recuperate from a fight that hard. His body is still healing and I want him to rest up as much as he can to let his body heal and then we’ll start training for the big fight. Margarito suffered a fracture orbital bone in his loss to Manny Pacquiao which required surgery. The potential showdown with Miguel Cotto will be a rematch from their 2008 fight where Antonio Margarito won via TKO in the 11th to capture the WBA welterweight title. This was Cotto’s 1st loss of his career.
Cotto’s camp maintains that Margarito must have cheated as Antonio’s next fight was against Shane Mosley where he was caught with plastered hand wraps. Cotto has publicly expressed disdain for Margarito and bad blood will surely rise for this fight. I for one am interested to see who will be able to stay at the top of their game in this one.
