Pacquiao nearly six pounds lighter than Margarito
ARLINGTON, Texas (Reuters) – Manny Pacquiao weighed in almost six pounds lighter than Antonio Margarito after the Filipino was greeted by deafening cheers from his supporters on the eve of Saturday's WBC super welterweight title fight.
Pacquiao, 51-3-2 (38 knockouts), tipped the scales at 144.6 pounds in front of a jubilant crowd of about 1,000 at the fight venue -- the imposing, state-of-the-art Cowboys Stadium.
Mexican Margarito (38-6, 27 KOs) was right on the limit for the scheduled 12-round bout which will be fought at a contracted weight of 150 pounds.
"I have trained a lot and I think because of the training hard that's why my weight is what it is," Pacquiao told reporters after the televised weigh-in.
His trainer Freddie Roach said his fighter was simply coming in at his natural weight.
"He's in great shape," Roach added. "I gave him the green light to just take care of himself and he got out the protein shakes. That's what we wanted to come in at."
Although three-times world champion Margarito enjoys a significant height and reach advantage, Pacquiao is widely expected to beat his Mexican opponent.
The Filipino southpaw has already established himself as one of the best offensive fighters of all-time and will be bidding to win an eighth world title in an unprecedented eighth weight class.
ELECTRIC ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere was electric as the two fighters made their way on to a raised stage for Friday's weigh-in where Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys NFL team, was among those attending.
Shouts of "Manny, Manny, Manny" and "Mexico, Mexico, Mexico" resounded before the two boxers emerged, the ever-smiling Pacquiao wearing a white balaclava, a yellow shirt, blue jeans and a red tracksuit top.
The Filipino is renowned for his playful nature and he pretended to steal the glittering title belt from the stage before returning it to the WBC president with a beaming smile.
Margarito, who wore sunglasses, a black tracksuit top and black boxing shorts, was booed by a large section of the crowd before he weighed in first, flanked on either side of the stage by three Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
The 32-year-old is returning to the ring for the first time in the U.S. since he lost to American Shane Mosley in a WBC welterweight title bout in January 2009.
The disgraced Mexican and his trainer Javier Capetillo were banned for a year after plaster-like bandage wraps were found in the fighter's gloves before the Mosley fight.
Margarito, dubbed the 'Tijuana Tornado', last fought in May when he beat Roberto Garcia in a WBC international light-middleweight bout in Mexico.
Pacquiao, 31, has not fought since March when he outclassed Ghana's Joshua Clottey at the Cowboys Stadium to retain his WBO welterweight title.

I hope Manny destroys that illegal focker.
-
I'd love to see Manny get spanked but Marg will probably lose within 8 rounds. There is a huge size difference and a question whether manny can actually hurt Marg. I think he can but a small side to me thinks Manny is slipping and Marg may capitalize seeing as this is huge 2nd chance coming after the hand wrap issues and loss to Mosley.

Who cares about someone whos such a pussy they have to wear pillows on their hands to fight!!! Ground games where its at, in da cage baby!!!
Now wheres my tap out hat, im gonna go walk round the town intimidating people.

Margarito by KO round 8-10, too much size, too good a chin and too much heart for Pacman. Yea that loaded gloves as a pussy move but he still has a great chin, Mosley fight not witstanding. great conditioning and wont throw the fight like Clotty did
-
Margarito is much bigger, but Pacquiao has proven time and time again that the bigger, stronger isn't what it takes to beat him. He takes some good shots, but Margarito better be in great shape because he'll be throwing a lot of useless punches at the air and on Manny's arms. And Manny's hand speed will surprise Margarito too. Getting hit once in the chin can be shaken off, but getting hit 50 times in the same spot does take an effect.
Not a big boxing fan anymore, but Pacquiao is worth watching because he's beaten so many odds against him.

Agree. Hope he loses but i don't think he will. For all the MAnny Lovers. he's never been tested. De La Hoya was done when they fought. A prime de la Hoya would ko him in 3-5 rds. Cotto was done after margarito and whatever he had in his gloves. Clotty, what can i say. Margarito is too big for him

Epic 6 inch thick, late 1980's weight lifting belt being used to tuck in distending stomach. Brutal over sized breasts impairing my keen judgement, making me overlook her obviously being overweight and desiring unprotected intercourse! :-\

this works. Incredible fight. Marg is like fukin stone. Pac has landed so many hard punches and Marg just keeps coming. This is the closest to a Rocky fight i've ever seen.
-
Marg's face is destroyed. This is the type of fight that leaves guys brain dead or in a coma.

Good.
Now his Parkinson's mocking will be all the more authentic.
-
Pac is crushing him
-
Margarito looks half chinese with his right eye shut!!!!! Pinoy power!!!
-
Unanimous decision!!! Pacman wins it!
-
I'd like to know how in the hell does slow ass Marg land more clean shots than any of Pac's recent opponents?
-
Marg had his moments and rocked Pac a few times and for a couple rounds looked like he was turning it around. Pac's cardio and punch output is inhuman though.
-
Marg startin to hurt Pac!
Yes, Pacmans fists must be hurting form beating the hell out of Margarito's face
-
Pac fucked him up! Like I said too much speed and movement from Pacman. Also Margarito threw 1 punch to Pacquiao's 3. A brutal beating.
-
Best fighter ever hands down.

Pac gets rocked a round or two in every fight. Difference is he hits back hard.

Not vs. Oscar, Clottey or Hatton. For a second I thought Pac's knee's buckled tonight but regardless he turned that around in a heart beat. I wouldn't want to be Marg tomorrow. That face got busted up, bad.
-
I just read that Pac actually did admit post-fight that he was seriously hurt once against Marg tonight
-
Manny smashed that guy like a bag of assholes.
-
Pacman dominated him for 10 of the 12 rounds,nearly closed his right eye from round 4 and by the 12th it was the size of a duck egg,his left was nearly closed as well.Some great pics on this video.

marg has been out of boxing for 2 yrs but manny wins his 8th belt vs him. how the fuck could he be holding a belt?
sergio martinez is a belt holder.
andre berto is a belt holder.
shit...fight paul williams for a vacated belt.
ali fought the monsters of his era, manny is fighting clowns and wash ups....hand picked opponents
roach said no to mosley, paul williams and martinez (5'9" vs marg's 5'11") are too big, berto isnt legit eventhough he is undefeated with crazy hand speed and power and so forth.
i hate FMW but i hope he takes the fight and dismantles this midget like he did mosley.
this guy is not in the class of ali. BS! but i give him credit for beating a young cotto who still has gas in the tank.
let me put it this way. if ray leonard and thomas heard were prime and welterweight...roach would avoid them too.

paco bautista

that was impressive, i'll never doubt this dude again except against Floyd.

like FMW he isnt even fighting the best guys of his generation. fucking title bout vs a guy coming off a suspension and brutal knockout vs the guy, mosley, you dont want to fight.
Arum and King must be related.
