Boxing news 10/7

*The Mexican boxing commission has received application papers seeking a late September, early October in ring return for disgraced former welter weight champion, Antonio Margarito. Although no opponent has been named, Zab Judah and Carlos Baldomir are being touted as possible opponents for the fight, which will be likely to take place in Tijuana.

*Despite recent speculation, it has been confirmed that the Floyd Mayweather/Juan Manuel Marquez bout will most definitely be taking place at 144 pounds. It was thought that the fight had been moved up to the welter weight limit of 147 pounds but Golden Boy Promotions Vice President Eric Gomez says the contracts were signed for a 143-144 pound weight range.
