Antonio Margarito releases statement

Antonio Margarito remained hospitalized in Dallas on Monday as he awaited surgery Tuesday on the fractured right orbital bone he suffered during a one-sided decision loss to Manny Pacquiao Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium.
But Margarito, who did not attend the post-fight news conference because he went directly to the hospital, where the fracture was discovered, gave Pacquiao his due.

“I would like to congratulate Manny Pacquiao for his win on Saturday Night,” Margarito said in a statement. “It was a tough and difficult fight for me and I hope the fans enjoy our battle at Cowboys Stadium.
