Team Margarito mocks on Roach's Parkinson's disease

Antonio Margarito really turned on the charm for HBO's "24/7" preview for his fight against Manny Pacquiao. It's amazing what some acting and creative editing can do to make a fighter look like a sympathetic character.

Sometimes fighters aren't so lucky. Team Margarito met a media member not savvy enough to protect them when they acted like jackasses. The result was this childish video where Margarito along with trainer Robert Garcia continue to make a mockery of of the California suspension for loading his gloves.

But poking fun at that heinous act wasn't enough so Margarito and training partner Brandon Rios did their "best" Freddie Roach impression. They both shook and spoke with contorted faces to imitate Roach, who is suffering with Parkinson's disease.

Bad Left Hook adds that there was more Roach "material" from Rios around the 2:45 mark but it appears the video was edited.
