Mario Barrios swears mercy: Will he end the legendary Manny Pacquiao in the WBC title?
Mario Barrios says he “don’t hesitate” to finish the old legend Manny Pacquiao if he gets hurt on Saturday night. WBC welterweight champion Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KOs) says he has no intention of showing mercy to him if Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) gets him in trouble. He wants to receive the WBC title from him.
Pacquiao’s comeback: Mayweatherbait?
Pacquiao, 46, needs a WBC title to use as bait to seduce 48-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr. from retirement. Mayweather is ringside and there is speculation that he will climb into the ring to announce the much-anticipated rematch with Philippine Star Pacquiao. It’s the ultimate joke fight and shows how far the sport has sunk.
“There’s been a lot of four years for his Prime fighter, but especially for 46,” Mario Barrios told Ariel Helwani. channeltalks about Manny Pacquiao, who comes out of his four-year retirement to challenge him for Saturday’s WBC title.
Title: Manny’s title shot
Four years are lifelong for fighters to go out of the ring, but even more so for people in their 40s like Pacquiao. If Manny did the right thing and took some tune-ups to show that he deserves a world title shot, we would see the degradation directly.
His method is a lazy, entitled method that is given priority treatment. If Pacquiao had to beat top WBC candidates, welterweight, Raul Culiel and Eymantas Stanionis, he would lose.
Pacquiao’s speed suspected by Barrios
“They say he’s faster, And he took a break,” Barrios said of Pacquiao. So we’ve seen a lot of such battles. ”
If Pacquiao retires and is currently approaching 47, how will Pacquiao be able to “faster”? Unless he is aging backwards, he will be slower. Pacquiao was good with his shadow boxing while he was training as no one was fighting at the time. Mike Tyson, 58, looked impressive in the video clip ahead of his battle with Jake Paul. However, when he arrived in the ring he was fossil-like and useless. Pacquiao will be the same on Saturday, and fans will feel stupid after purchasing the $79.99 event in PPV.
“It’s not a real version of him, but there’s still a habit he made at a small exhibition that he could still pick up,” Barrios said when asked if he had seen Pacquiao’s recent exhibition. “He fought another tall opponent with reach and size above him. We didn’t look too hard at the performances of those exhibitions.”
Pacquiao was dominated by tall 6’0” Japanese kickboxer Lukiyaampo in an exhibition match last July 28th. Initially, Manny looked good, but then Ampo began abusing him with the shots. Pacquiao seemed ready to knock out at some point. This wasn’t even the real boxer he was facing. He was old and weak inside the ring against anpo.
Barrios: Pacquiao has no mercy
“I don’t hesitate to pull his trigger at the point I’m hurting him.
I strongly feel that this doesn’t end well for Pacquiao. Barrios begins to put it on Manny, hurting him, then dropping him down, the 46-year-old, to finish him. He sends him back to retirement where he came from. Not everything is bad for Pacquiao. His final take on the event could exceed $18 million. He’s paid like a world champion.
