According to Dan Antuna of Tijuana newspaper Frontera, Antonio Margarito confirmed his next bout for May 8th in Aguascalientes, MX. After his bid to fight on the March 13th fight card in Dallas, TX, was not solidfied, the “Tijuana Tornado” will still face Carson Jones at the yearly state fair held in that Mexican city.
“The fight in May is confirmed directly from Bob Arum of Top Rank. He also assured me a fight with Manny Pacquiao in November,” Margarito stated.
He also mentioned that he would not be appearing at a hearing to solicit his license from the California State Atlethic Commission.
“Arum recommended me not to go, he said that I complied with teh sanction and they should give me the lincense without attending and audience,” he explained.
Margarito has been training at the Azteca Gym and the Mojac Gym, both in Tijuana.
Margarito Steals Show
Despite being out of the ring for a little over a year after being suspended by the California State Athletic Comission for illegal hand wraps in his bout with Shane Mosley, Margarito’s popularity has not diminished in his hometown of Tijuana.
Last Saturday night, Margarito attended the local fight card at the Mariano Matamoros Gym and he was bombarded by the amassed fight fans in hopes of attaining a photo or autograph from the three time welterweight champion.
Paper plates, napkins, t-shirts, business cards and even a pair of pants were put in front of the “Tijuana Tornado” for him to emblazone with his signature.
Once the fight card was over, Margarito stayed 40 minutes after to accomodate all the fight fans that were vying for a little face time.
Fuck Margarito Haters!!! Most of them were Cottos lovers and still can’t accept the beating he gave cotto, even Pacquiao gave him a worse beating.
Margarito made cotto his bitch!!! ACCEPT THE FACT PUSSIES!! Margarito all the way he’s getting more popular between the mexican people than most in the U.S think!… He should not show remorse He should not ask for forgiveness He should not Apologize!!! he did his part of the one year suspension!!!!

U r F*in retarded. Margacheato should never be allowed to box again in the US…let alone anywhere else. He is a cheater that f*cked with peoples lives. He doesnt deserve a fight with Pac or anyone else. F* him and all his fans that dont think he did anything wrong.
