Mario Barrios - Ryan Garcia thoughts and predictions.

[El_Mero]

Thoughts? Wack fight. Predictions? Boxing loses cause this does nothing to move the needle. No excitement, nobody talking about it, not a lot of interest, from hardcore or casuals for that matter

It depends on the fighter, honestly. Madrimov got a championship fight after being a pro for about 5 years and Loma got a Championship shot in his second fight. A lot of eastern Europeans have an extensive amateur career while Mexicans turn pro at age 15 lol.

Everyone goes on their own path.

Look at what's happened to Giyasov. He was #1 to Boots at welter before the WBA reneged on their commitment and created a random 'regular' belt for Garcia and Romero who had never fought at the weight, effectively inserting the winner between Giyasov and Boots. With Romero since upgraded, he's now being permitted to sit on the belt and leverage it for bigger paydays rather than be stripped. Meanwhile Garcia gets another title shot coming off a loss.

Think Garcia will irritate Ryan with his jab and win the first rounds due to his height and Ryan's also only able to press and backpedal in a straight line.

Then like Abel Ramos, Ryan will catch him and will have more opportunities with Barrios will be worse off. Think Barrios has good odds despite that, because I see that he has nothing special, but he is taller, and is better rounded than Ryan is. Which might be enough to go the distance if Garcia is inconsistent.
