Pacquiao’s Foe Faces Damaging Blow
0Manny Pacquiao is soon to face his fight against the Mexican boxer Antonino Margarito on November 13. However, the title showdown is in the verge of loosing.
California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) denied the request of Margarito to renew his boxing license. After having a 5-1 vote made by the California boxing body, his license was revoked due to handling of plaster-like substance in his hand wraps. This incident is prior to his 2009 encounter with Sugar Shane Mosley at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Margarito’s fight with the Filipino ring icon is his comeback after loosing a fight with Mosley. But the verdict of the body was another damaging blow to his reputation and his boxing career.
Meanwhile, the supposed site for Pacquiao-Margarito bout which is in Las Vegas, Nevada was unavailable because of the ruling of the CSAC.
Moreover, Margarito has applied his license in California but was denied again.
All states in the U.S. abide by rulings from other states, although they are not obligated to do so.
Their team is heading for Texas, hopefully for the third luck. If not, Mexico is an alternative setting aside U.S to file the renewal of his license.
