The boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao will face Antonio Margarito for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight championship. The boxing camps agreed to fight 151-pounds max, collide in the most exciting and intriguing fight of the year.
‘Margarito isn’t even that good of a fighter, he isn’t even close to being on the same level as Martinez. That fight wouldn’t go past five rounds at most,’ remarked Gabriel Sarmiento, world-class trainer of Sergio Martinez, when asked about the possibility of a rematch with Antonio Margarito, who handed the current middleweight champion the first loss of his career.

The only reason why it didn’t happen before is because Martinez wasn’t with me at the time. He was with a different trainer and when he lost, he came back home,’ Sarmiento explained to FightHype’s own Ryan Kennedy.
