[Boxing] Mario Barrios vs Ryan Garcia WBC Welterweight Title February 21

[bisdak40]

It’s now official: Mario Barrios will defend his WBC welterweight title against Ryan Garcia on February 21 in Las Vegas. Barrios didn’t look particularly impressive in his bout with the legendary Manny Pacquiao, but he managed to salvage a draw and keep the belt. Meanwhile, Garcia is coming off a loss to Rolly Romero, which adds intrigue to this matchup.

What do you think of this fight guys?

I’d go with Ryan Garcia in this one. From what I see, Mario Barrios doesn’t really have that killer punch. If Garcia is serious about this fight, his power alone could be a big problem for Barrios. Garcia is also tall, so he can pressure Barrios and stop him from relying too much on jabs, similar to how Barrios fought Manny Pacquiao. If Garcia can close the distance and stay aggressive, this could swing in his favor.

I’m definitely interested in the betting odds for this fight.
Hopefully Garcia ends up as the underdog, that would make it even more worth taking.


you got a poll?

Ryan Garcia   −176
Mario Barrios   +138

I haven’t confirmed if it’s already listed on my bookie, but based on that, it looks like you won’t really get great value for your money. Even though Ryan Garcia isn’t the champion, he’s being listed as a heavy favorite, so the return doesn’t look that attractive.

I also think Garcia has the advantage if he properly executes it. He has the height, power, and speed advantage. However, Barrios is tough, and he can actually takes heavy punches, unlike Garcia who has glass chin. If Garcia wants to win this, he should consider hurting Barrios in the early rounds or try to end it as early as possible. Going late rounds could be dangerous for Garcia, since Barrios is built to last late rounds.
Nevertheless, this is a good and exciting match up.

Guys, these are some records for Garcia and Barrios. For the odds, it's really favoring Ryan Garcia, who is much younger of 2 years younger than Barrios; other than that, nothing else.
This seems to be a close match as I am looking forward to placing my bets with Barrios here, as for having good odds.
What do you think odds is favoring with Garcia here?

I voted on King Ry. He is a faster and stronger boxer, I reckon. His father who is training him and his team might have also learned from the losing experience they have received from the fight against Rolly Romero. I very much wish that the boxing grandmaster Eddy Reynoso will train him in his next fights, however.

If King Ry will lose, only Jake Paul will fight him that will pay a big purse hehehehehe.
