Antonio Margarito formally begins training camp at the TKO Boxing Gym in Las Vegas, roughly ten weeks before he clashes with Filipino pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 13 in Dallas.
Margarito’s trainer Robert Garcia is in Sin City to work the corner of a rising lightweight star Brandon Rios for a fight set this weekend and he has instructed the 5-11 Mexican to do light workouts in preparation for the tough grind that is set to commence Monday in Oxnard, California.
“We’ll do some work here then starting next week it’s going to be training proper,” said Garcia, who will work Margarito’s corner for only the second time after the fighter decided to drop Jaier Capetillo owing to the handwraps controversy that led to his one-year suspension.
Garcia said Margarito is not the type to bloat inbetween fights and he expects to breeze through training camp with ease.
“Margarito is a hard worker and is always in good shape even if he doesn’t have a fight scheduled,” said Garcia, who is upbeat about his fighter’s chances of scoring a major upset at Cowboys Stadium.
Pacquiao expects to kick off his eight-week training camp on Sept. 20 with Freddie Roach and strength coach Alex Ariza.
