The moment Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum made the announcement that Manny Pacquiao’s next fight will be against Antonio Margarito, the Mexican’s trainer, Robert Garcia, immediately gathered all of the Filipino icon’s fights on video. “Since I learned about the fight I’ve been watching Manny Pacquiao’s fights, from when he got knocked out in the beginning of his career, to his loss against (Erik) Morales (in March 2005) and all the other fights were he beat everybody else,” Garcia told the leading boxing website fightnews. “We’ve been studying all those fights and I think we’ll come in with a great plan and a great strategy to beat him,” said Garcia, whose former clients include ex-world champion Brian Viloria. Pacquiao and Margarito will slug it out for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) super-welterweight title on November 13 at a venue that will soon be determined, according to Arum. Vying to host the much-awaited return of Pacquiao are Las Vegas, Dallas, Monterrey in Mexico and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Arum said he would know by next week which city will secure the rights to stage the bout. Oil-rich Abu Dhabi is said to be very keen in getting the fight and is going all-out in pleasing Pacquiao’s ultra-luxurious taste. As Arum tries his best to get the best deal out of the interested parties, Garcia is making himself busy coming up with the blueprint for Pacquiao’s downfall.
