Barrios on his midweight debut: I believe the match against Thurman will be a fierce battle

As a former WBA super lightweight regular world boxer, 26-year-old American boxer Mario Barrios hopes to make his next-middleweight debut with a beautiful victory.

What kind of debut is worthy of Mario Barrios' heart? Mario Barrios' idea was to do his best to defeat Keith Thurman, the previous welterweight doubleweight boxer and once considered the most talented in the sub-welterweight.

The two boxers will face off on February 5, 2022, at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, USA, when fox television in the United States will broadcast the match live.

Although Mario Barrios lost to the "tank" Gervota Davis who crossed the class in the last game, he suffered the first defeat of his career. But under the guidance of veteran coach Virgil Hunter, Mario Barrios quickly recovered and adjusted to form.

Virgil Hunter is said to have developed tactics specifically for Mario Barrios specifically against Keith Thurman so that he could take full advantage of his height.

In an interview with reporters, Mario Barrios was optimistic about the game's expectations. He told reporters: "I'm excited to be playing my first time in a sub-middleweight against a great former world boxer like Keith Thurman. To know that a lot of boxers choose simple opponents after they have gained weight, I'm sure most boxers won't choose to play with a boxer like Keith Thurman, but Keith Thurman is why I want to play this game. We both love to use heavy punches in the game, so I'm sure the game between the two of us will be a fierce contest. Boxing fans know that I am a warrior in the ring and I will not back down in the face of any challenge. ”

I think Mario Barrios chose Keith Thurman as his opponent after some deliberation, because Keith Thurman, who was once considered one of the best sub-middleweight boxers in professional boxing, has been plummeting since two major injuries, and although he still has a great advantage in experience, Keith Thurman can no longer compare with his peak self in terms of strength and physical fitness.

Arguably in the sub-weweights, former World Boxing Champions Danny Garcia, Mickey Garcia and Shaun Porter, who has just announced his retirement, have a great chance of winning against Keith Thurman.

So Mario Barrios challenged Keith Thurman with a lot of speculation. If he can successfully beat Keith Thurman in february next year, there is a good chance that Mario Barrios will replace Keith Thurman in the sub-middleweight as one of the strong contenders for the world boxing title in the sub-middleweight.

Mario Barrios was born on May 18, 1995 in San Antonio, Texas. At the age of 14, Mario Barrios trained in boxing with his brother.

In 2013, Mario Barrios became a professional boxer and in September 2019 won the vacant WBA UltraWeight Regular World Champion Gold Belt by beating Batyr Akhmedov. Mario Barrios currently has a record of 26 wins and 1 loss, with 17 KO opponents.
