Ryan Garcia vs. Mario Barrios fight live updates: Results, undercard, scorecard, highlights
A welterweight world championship showdown is set for Saturday in Las Vegas when WBC champion Mario Barrios puts his belt on the line against Ryan Garcia.
The fight represents an opportunity for Garcia to claim the first world championship of his career. If Garcia wants to achieve that accomplishment, he’ll need to show marked improvement from his most recent fight, a listless decision loss to Rolando Romero in the main event of a card held from Times Square in New York City.
Barrios will also be looking to improve on recent performances. Since being elevated from interim to full world champion by the WBC, Barrios has twice defended his belt, going to draws against Abel Ramos and Manny Pacquiao.
