Ryan Garcia vs. Mario Barrios undercard was revealed in the present day on social media for February twenty first, 2026. Its level is that the cardboard continues to be only a skeleton that’s being crammed out with fights.

Two of the fights might not entice a lot curiosity, making followers much less prone to splurge and order it on DAZN PPV.

The undercard for Mario Barrios vs Ryan Garcia on February twenty first

Armando Reséndiz vs. Edgar Berlanga – WBA tremendous middleweight
Gary Antuanne Russell vs Andy Hiraoka – WBA gentle welterweight
Lester Martínez vs TBA

Turki Alalshikh will take part within the occasion as a sponsor, however it’s a PBC occasion. The information for the undercard was revealed by boxing insider Julius Julianis tonight.

What’s going to disappoint followers is Edgar Berlanga being given a world title shot in opposition to WBA interim 168-lb champion Armando Resendiz. Berlandez is coming off a knockout loss to Hamzah Sheeraz on July twelfth in Queens, New York. It seems Resendiz-Berlanga is the co-feature on the February twenty first card.

Edgar has misplaced two out of his final three fights. It’s an oddball battle that doesn’t transfer the needle with followers exterior of the Brooklyn, New York space. If Berlanga had been coming off some wins, it could be positive having him battle for a world title in opposition to Resendiz.

However his document is 1-2 in his final three fights. If we’re treating boxing like different sports activities, the place you must earn the championship video games or matches by successful, Berlanga doesn’t belong combating Resendiz. It sends a foul message to have him in this sort of battle.

Hiraoka combating Gary Antuanne Russell doesn’t do a lot to create curiosity on this profession. The 29-year-old is ranked #1 with the WBA, however his resume is barren of identify opponents. I consider it could be extra fascinating for followers to scratch Hiraoka from the cardboard and substitute him with Ernesto Mercado or Keyshawn Davis.
