    Did Ryan Garcia Expose Marios Barrios and Manny Pacquiao?

    Ryan Garcia made it look effortless against Marios Barrios, while Manny Pacquiao struggled against a one-dimensional fighter like Barrios. Just imagine what Garcia would do if they ever stepped into the ring, Pacquiao wouldn’t know what hit him once that right hook lands.

    And honestly, they should count themselves lucky they haven’t faced Terence Crawford because against him, that kind of performance would get exposed and torn apart fast.

        Manny would have brought something to Garcia... Not that he would have won (maybe), but that would have been a little more of a puzzle for Garcia...Barrios brought nothing...

          Yah, Ryan Garcia exposed the fact that a fighter in their mid-40's is washed because they're in their mid-40's lol

            I wouldn't say he "exposed" Mario Barrios. Exposure implies that we thought that Barrios was something that he wasn't. Mario has been around for a while, so we all knew generally what to expect. An above average fighter, a lot of heart, good stiff jab, and a very good counter puncher. Probably not championship material but he had a lot of heart so. Barrios fought someone who was much faster than him tonight. That's really what it comes down to.

                How is a 46 year old Manny "exposed"? Ryan did expose Haney though. Barrios landed 19 more punches on Ryan than Haney did.

                  It was Pac's first actual fight in years and years. He was rusty and not as willing to get hit and exchange. But his speed was still good and Barrios had no idea how to hurt Pac or deal with his style. Pac at this age is nowhere near his prime but he is still competitive and had he fought a tune up or two he may well have stopped Barrios, ot at least hurt him multiple times and won convincingly. I thought he won anyway, by a round or two.

                  Pac isn't going to be the killer he used to be obviously. That said, if he follows a solid gameplan of landing flurries and not getting hit alot, he could UD good fighters. He isn't beating elite fighters anymore but there aren't many of those left.
