Antonio Margartio, at this point in time, will make his return to boxing after a one year suspension. He was suspended in January of 2009 for having a plaster like substance in his gloves, which resulted in the destruction of Miguel Cotto. He will be fighting on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey on March 13th in Texas at the new Cowboys Stadium. Although his opponent is yet to be determined, the likely candidate is Carson Jones. He has not appeared before the California Boxing Commission which will decide at that time wether or not his license will be reinstated to fight in California again. This does not matter to Promoter Bob Arum who sees Margarito being a cash cow undercard in Texas because of all of the Mexican fans. He can be granted a license to fight in Texas even though he has yet to have a hearing in California. This has many boxing fans outraged and some believe he should not be allowed to fight in the United States ever again. But he will, and as of right now it will be on March 13th on HBO's PPV undercard of Pacquiao and Clottey.
