Weight:: 147 (Welterweight)
Notable belts:: WBC
Date:: 19 July 2025
Venue:: MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

Prediction: Mario Barrios by Stoppage

Result: Draw

I can absolutely see why Barrios is ducking all the other champs. He struggled and maybe should have lost to a 46 year old Pacquiao who hadn’t fought for years. What makes it funnier is that Barrios got his hype by beating Ugas, the guy who retired Pacquiao. Shows triangle theories don’t work in boxing.
