May 2, 2008 (Tijuana, Baja California) Michelle Margarito, Antonio's wife turned into a ''Tijuana Tornado'' in her own right in the last few week's, sparing no expense in arranging a surprise party for the champion, who turned 30 a few week's ago.
The occasion was to celebrate his 15th year as a professional boxer, achieving two world titles in boxing's hottest division, the welterweight ranks. and a looming showdown against Miguel Cotto expected to take place on July the 26th.
A win over the undefeated two time, two division Miguel Cotto who is expected to unify titles with Margarito, would give the ''Tijuana Tornado'' a chance to snare his third world title and a possible shot at Oscar De La Hoya, who has been saying to the media he wants to fight Cotto in December- That is, if Margarito has anything to say about it.
Attending the party were family, friends, team members, Sergio Diaz Jr. and Francisco ''Pancho'' Espinoza- Margarito's manager's, as well as Margarito's trainer, Javier Capetillo and many, many others- many of whom traveled from outside Tijuana and the U.S.
The party a huge video tribute on two giant screens, two musical bands, fireworks, DJ and fully catering for the hundreds who were in attendance via special VIP invite.
Enjoy Margarito's second destruction over Cintron.
