Had the pleasure of photographing at the Margarito / Pacquiao press conference. These guys will fight on Nov. 13 here @
Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, TX.
Manny Pacquiao is the #1 fighter in the world and is currently a 7 division title holder of General Santos, Philippines. With wins over legendary fighters in all the divisions he has fought in Manny will now be going for a record setting 8th title against the hard hitting punishing Anontio Margarito. Margarito of Tijuana, Mexico has been waiting to fight a top fighter for a long time. Oscar De La Hoya and FLoyd Mayweather avoided Margarito. But two fights ago Margarito was crushed by Shane Mosley in a bout where Margarito's trainer was caught slipping hard gauze in his gloves. When it was discovered Margarito himself had the commission take his other glove off and sure enough the trainer with out Margarito knowing had stuffed the gauze.
Now it's 18 months later and it's redemption time for Margarito.
