Mario Barrios Training Sessions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mario Barrios will defend his welterweight belt against Manny Pacquiao.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Saturday, June 28, WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios held a training session for the media in Las Vegas, Nevada. The champion’s trainer, Bob Santos, was present at the training session.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That night’s card will feature WBC super welterweight world champion Sebasti\u00e1n \u201cTowering Inferno\u201d Fundora and Tim Tszyu facing off in a rematch of the bloodiest fight of 2024 in the co-main event.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, Isaac \u201cPitbull\u201d Cruz will face his compatriot Angel Fierro, known for his powerful punch, for the second time in a 12-round super lightweight bout, while former two-division world champion Brandon \u201cHeartbreaker\u201d Figueroa and Joet Gonzalez will kick off the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mario Barrios:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all smiles between us right now, but when that bell rings, we\u2019re going in there with bad intentions. He\u2019s trying to take my title and I have to do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the fight was first brought to me I wasn\u2019t sure whether to take it as respect or disrespect, because he wanted me. But regardless, I\u2019m the champion for a reason and I\u2019m gonna show why I\u2019m holding the WBC belt.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have a great team behind me. I\u2019ve been fortunate to be with some of the best in the business from the beginning. I\u2019ve just stayed focused and stayed in the gym and that\u2019s why I\u2019ve gotten these opportunities. I give it 100% every time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always trained for every fight like it\u2019s a world title fight, so this is no different. I know who I\u2019m going against and I know the threat he is inside of the ring. But with my team and everything we\u2019re working on in the gym, I just have to go out and execute and we\u2019ll be victorious.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

BOB SANTOS, Barrios\u2019 Trainer:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor for me to work with Mario Barrios. From day one, I knew that Barrios was Pitbull. He was reserved and quiet, but you could see in his pro debut that we had something on our hands here.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t become a world champion in two weight classes by accident. Not too many people have done that and Mario deserves his credit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cManny Pacquiao is an icon. There\u2019s nobody more worthy of this opportunity. Look at what he\u2019s given to the sport. Also, inactivity can work in different ways. With an older guy, that time off can be something that helps him. It\u2019s gonna be a great fight for everyone to watch, but \u2018El Azteca\u2019 will come out with the win.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
