Mario Barrios defends his WBC welterweight world title against the legendary Manny Pacquiao on July 19th.
Barrios appeared on Bowks Talking Bouts to cover several subjects, such as: -this fight representing the kind of opponent he has always dreamed of fighting against someday
-his last fight being on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson card, in the context of his thoughts on Paul vs. Chavez Jr. this weekend
-being on multiple Canelo Alvarez cards, in the context of his thoughts on the Canelo vs. Crawford fight that is coming up
-previously fighting Gervonta 'Tank' Davis, his thoughts on the Davis vs. Roach majority draw in March, and how a possible Davis vs. Roach rematch could play out compared to their first fight
-if he's feeling overlooked in this fight as the defending champion, with Pacquiao being such a sympathetic character here as he attempts a massive legacy move in this comeback to the ring
-wanting to move up in weight someday, and if he has a peripheral awareness of the co-main event on this card with Sebastian Fundora and Tim Tszyu battling for the WBC World and WBO World Super Welterweight Titles
