When training at the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy in Oxnard, Calif., one of the sparring partners for boxing star Antonio Margarito is southpaw Cleodis Pendarvis (10-3-2, four knockouts).

An ex-world titlist, Margarito (38-6, 27 knockouts) has a Nov. 13, HBO pay-per-view televised, Top Rank Promotions battle opposite WBO welterweight (147 pounds) king Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KOs), the latter of whom takes a 12-fight winning streak that includes eight KOs into his bout in pursuit of an eighth title in as many different weight divisions.
