Garcia vs. Barrios: Both Fighters Seek to End Winless Streaks in High-Stakes Fight
Ryan Garcia and Mario Barrios are set to face off at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with both fighters aiming to end their respective winless droughts. Garcia, with a record of 24-2 and coming off a no-contest after testing positive for a banned substance, last won in December 2023. His recent performances have been marred by controversy, including a suspension and a dismal loss to Rolando Romero. Despite his setbacks, Garcia remains a popular and charismatic figure, eager to prove he can become a world champion. Barrios, the reigning WBC welterweight champion with a record of 29-2-2, has not won a fight since May 2024, with his last two bouts ending in draws against Manny Pacquiao and Abel Ramos. Both fighters weighed in at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds for the fight, which is broadcast on DAZN Pay-Per-View. Garcia's last victory was over Oscar Duarte, while Barrios's recent fights have not resulted in wins, raising questions about their current form. The bout is seen as a crucial opportunity for both to restore their careers and gain respect in the boxing world.
