Barrios v Garcia Wooden Warrington
This battle is a testomony to at present’s boxing.
Ryan Garcia, recent off a humbling defeat by the hands of Rolly Romero, will get a title shot in opposition to WBC champion Mario Barrios.
Garcia, nicknamed King Ry, has by no means received a world title.
Barrios, elegant as they arrive, fought 40-something Manny Pacquio in his final bout. The judges declared the battle a draw. Barrios regarded like a loser. His face, as is usually the case, was puffy. Barrios, 30, has taken a number of punishment over his profession.
Gervonta Davis stopped him, and Keith Thurman beat him to a pulp.
The man is a warrior – modest and gentle spoken.
Full transparency – I spent a number of minutes chatting with Barrios at Vigil Hunter’s gymnasium a number of years in the past. I watched him work alone, shadow field, and spar.
He’s the type of fighter and particular person you pull for.
Garcia, 27, is the modern-day fighter with advertising and marketing capacity. He has extra instruments than Barrios and may prevail tomorrow night time.
Two former champions, Leigh Wooden and Josh Warrington, who paid their dues and made essentially the most of their expertise, are preventing for the second time tomorrow at Nottingham Area in Nottingham, England.
They’re little guys in dimension, however born with big hearts. Warrington was having his means with Wooden two years in the past till Wooden clipped with a candy mixture. The stoppage was controversial to some. This can be a pleasure battle.
Warrington,35, is the higher boxer, whereas Wooden,37, carries extra energy.
Wooden is a slight betting favourite.
