In an exclusive video interview with Elie Seckback of fanhouse.com, Pacquiao said he anticipates a good fight with the Mexican boxer.
"It's gonna be a good fight, a lot of action in the ring. He train hard, I train hard," Pacquiao said.
Pacquiao said he is not worried about about Margarito's height and power as coach Freddie Roach has been training him to match the boxer.
