Antonio Margarito Video: Manny Pacquiao Fueled by the Mocking of Freddie Roach for Early KO?

If Manny Pacquiao had a chance to watch the Margarito mocking video, chances are he may change his reported plan to prolong the fight in order to give his fans a fight they will enjoy watching on Saturday at the Cowboys Stadium.

Freddie Roach is like a father to Manny Pacquiao.

If there is anyone who deserves his respect, it has to be his trainer and coach Freddie Roach, notwithstanding his affliction with Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that impairs motor skills, cognitive processes, and other functions. Former world boxing champion Muhammad Ali is one professional boxer who has Parkinson's disease.

Regardless of whether Roach got his disease from years of being battered in the ring by his opponents, having been a professional boxer for most part of his life or for having the disease as part of the aging process, no one in his right frame of mind should attack him simply because he is afflicted with the disease.

Pacquiao and Roach have been working together in and out of the ring for over a decade and the long years they have shared many sad and happy moments may have galvanized their relationship beyond friendship.

It would be natural for Pacquiao to be hurt, if not angered, by the way Antonio Margarito and Brandon Rios to mocked Freddie Roach who everyone knows is facing a lonely battle against Parkinson's disease.

What Manny Pacquiao will do on fight night in the light of the controversial video, no one really knows, not even perhaps Freddie Roach.

Boxing fans say Pacquiao will definitely show the world how much he values Freddie Roach's friendship by going for an early knockout as a way of avenging the psychological pain his coach suffered as a result of the Margarito mocking video.

Possible retaliation to the Margarito mocking video by the reigning pound-for-pound king, the estimated 60,000 fans inside the Cowboys Stadium on fight night and the millions of viewers around the world, may be in for a short boxing fight contrary to the reported prolonged fight plan by the Filipino boxer.

If boxers Margarito and Rios and their trainer Robert Garcia were trying to hype the fight or were trying to get into Roach's and Pacquiao's mindset for psychological advantage, they could have used relevant subjects other than Freddie Roach's disability.

What they did to Freddie Roach is a punch below the belt and certainly deserves and merits point deduction.
