Mario Barrios predicts that the advanced age of Pacquiao will cause him to be longer on Saturday night. WBC Welterweight Champion Barrios (29-2-1, 18 food) predicts that Pacquiao, 46, will eventually “regret” that he has come out of the pension.
Barrios is ready to dominate the superstar Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 COs) in their 12-round main meeting on Saturday, July 19 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Their battle is part of an event that will be pointed to PBC Prime video Ppv.
Barrios: Pacquiao regret Comeback
“The longer the fight goes (the more pacquiao it will feel). My job is to get in there and make him feel like the old man. Let him regret to come out of the pension to face me,” Mario Barrios said Fight Hub TVTalk about Manny Pacquiao.
Barrios makes a good point. Pacquiao will abandon the longer as a result of its age and inactivity. He showed endurance problems four years ago in his last fight against Yordenis Ugas. It will be worse now. When it’s really about Pacquiao trying to win a world title, he waited long enough to get out of pension. He should have returned earlier to give himself a better chance.
Why pacquiao came back
“Let him ask,”Why did I come back for this? ‘ I give the favor to me as the rounds go on. Manny is known for being a quick starting batsman, ‘says Barrios.’ From the first bell he comes out. We know that he is dangerous in a nearby neighborhood, and especially with his speed. “
Pacquiao says he doesn’t take the fight for the money, but his reported $ 12.6 million wallet has to play a factor in reason why he’s coming back. He may regret pension, but the great wallet he receives will be a nice ointment for his sore feelings. Pacquiao has chosen a good time to come out of pension, because fights now pay more for the fighters with a big name.
The velocity of pacquiao at
“The best way to counteract speed is with timing, and I think I have it on my side, especially with my physical qualities about Manny. My job is to go in there and try to neutralize what he is trying to do early. Then dominate in any way I can,” Barrios said.
The 6’0 ″ Barrios has a great great advantage over the 5’5 1/2 ″ Pacquiao in this fight. Barrios’ height, reach and youth benefit will make it difficult for Manny to deal with in this battle. The last time Pacquiao fought someone from a similar height was when he faced Jessie Vargas in 2016.
