Manny Pacquiao faces Mario Barrios, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, July 19. The pair square off in a scheduled 12-round bout at welterweight. Barrios puts his WBC title on the line.
Eight-division champion Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) returns to action after almost four years of absence from the ring. The 46-year-old Filipino looks to once again win a world title as he challenges San Antonio’s 29-year-old defending champion Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KOs).
