Ryan Garcia vs Mario Barrios Fight Time, Ring Walks
Mario Barrios faces Ryan Garcia in a WBC welterweight title fight with Garcia favored at -225 odds, aiming to overcome past controversies and prove his potential.
- On Saturday, Barrios defends his WBC welterweight title against Ryan Garcia at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, headlining DAZN's pay-per-view at 9 p.m. local time.
- Both fighters enter with pressures; Barrios made a trainer change to Joe Goossen, which he said was planned independently of Garcia, as he told CBS Sports.
- At Friday's weigh-in Barrios and Garcia hit 147 and 146.5lbs respectively, with Barrios holding a 29-2-2 record; Ryan Garcia is favored by sportsbooks like BetMGM and DraftKings, and the undercard features champions Richardson Hitchins and Gary Antuanne Russell.
- A Garcia win hands him the WBC belt and could shift focus from his recent controversies, while a Barrios victory would reinforce his championship status after recent draws.
- Disciplinary disputes, including Garcia's positive PED test, suspension, $10,000 fine, and a WBC expulsion later lifted, have complicated the fight's build, involving lawsuits with Fanmio and Golden Boy Promotions and a trainer feud with a 'traitor' T-shirt incident.
