Manny Pacquiao today confirmed on social media to plan out of pension to challenge Mario Barrios for his VBC Welter title 19. July in MGM Grand in Las Vegas. 46-year-old Pacquiao wants to become a world champion again.
The return of Pacquiao gets a shot of the immediate title after four years of inactivity is massive. Fans don’t like the idea of Filipino Stars insert at video # 5 VBC and get titles in your first fight from 2021. Years.
Pacquia’s return
The fans suspect that it returns for money, see that older fighters store make absurd amounts of test for their fights. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are examples of that.
Barrios (29-2-1, 18 Kos) seen as paper champion to 147 many fans. So, Manny (62-8-2, 39 Kos) chose the perfect strap holder to try to win the belt in his return. The old Pacquiao promoter, Bob Arum, does not think that it is a good idea to fight in his age and is worried about the possibility to hurt.
Pacquia’s ex opponent, Tim Bradley, says Mario Barrios could “finish” him, sending him retirement. He does not think that Manny can deal with a much younger, capable 29-year-old barrier in his age.
Even if Pacquiao wins, how much loans will get for Barrios’s beating? It won’t be as much as he or his fans think it will. Barrios probably lost his last fight against Fring Cangender Abel Ramos last November in Arlington, Texas. The fight was rated as a 12-round draw, but many boxes fans had rumos victory, including me.
Past devices of Barrios came against Keith Thurman and Lightweight Gervonta Davis. Thurman was outside the bell for more than 2 years when he fought Barrios.
I’m back.
19. July I return to the ring to face the VBC Welter Champion Mario Barrios in MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
