In a highly anticipated welterweight clash, Mario Barrios is set to defend his WBC title against Ryan Garcia on February 21 at the iconic T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This bout, headlining ‘The Ring: High Stakes’ fight card, promises to be a thrilling encounter between two formidable fighters, each with a point to prove.
Barrios, hailing from Texas, enters the ring with a record of 29-2-2, including 18 knockouts. His last fight against Manny Pacquiao ended in a majority draw, with scorecards of 115-113 in his favor and 114-114 on the other two, allowing him to retain his WBC title. Garcia, with a record of 24-2 and 20 KOs, is looking to bounce back from a unanimous decision loss to Rolly Romero on May 2. The judges’ scorecards read 118-109 and 115-112 twice in favor of Romero. Garcia has since undergone surgery for a hand injury sustained during training for the Romero fight.
The betting odds for this welterweight showdown have Garcia as the favorite at -225, with Barrios as the underdog at +175. Fight enthusiasts can catch all the action live on DAZN Pay-Per-View, with the event scheduled to start at 2pm ET / 11am PT / 7pm GMT.
