Manny Pacquiao confirmed today in social media that he is planning to retire from a pension to challenge Mario Barrios for his WBC welterweight title on July 19 at MGM Grand, Las Vegas. Pacquiao, 46, wants to become a world champion again.

The Pacquiao reaction obtained an immediate title shot after four years of inactivity, was huge. Fans do not like the idea that the Filipino star was inserted in 5th place by WBC and winning the title in its first fight since 2021.

Return Pacquiao

Fans suspect that he is coming back for money, seeing that older Shopworn fighters make absurd amounts of cake for their fights. Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are an example of this.

Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KO) is seen as A Master of paper At 147 by many fans. So Manny (62-8-2, 39 KO) chose the perfect belt handle to try to win the belt in his return. The aged promoter Pacquiao, Bob Arum, does not think that a good idea for him is a fight at his age, and is concerned about the possibility of being hurt.

The former opponent of Pacquiao, Tim Bradley, says that Mario Barrios could “end” him, sending him back to retirement. He does not think that manny will cope with much younger, competent 29-year-old Barrios at his age.

Even if Pacquiao wins, how much loan will he receive for defeating Barrios? It will not be as much as he or his fans think. Barrios probably lost his last fight against the pretender to Fringe Abel Ramos in November last year at Arlington, Texas. The fight was captured as a 12-round draw, but many boxing fans won Ramos, including me.

Barrios’ earlier defeats were against Keith Thurman and the lithe Gervont Davis. Thurman was outside the ring for over 2 years when he fought Barrio.

I came back.

On July 19, I am coming back to the ring to face the WBC WBC welterweight champion at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Josh Taylor sits in the heated sun baking during the last days of the camp.

It looks functional, confident and maybe a little tanned.

“I went from airy blue to the red lobbling, so I hope it turns into some tan,” says ESPN with a radiant smile.

Tan or not, they were the undisputed champion of the welterweight champion, looks in the highest condition, partly thanks to his transition to a welterweight, where he has a few pounds to play.

Taylor (19-2, 13 KO) claims that he had no problems earning 140 pounds in the ward he conquered. But, as in the case of every warrior, the time will come when moving up in the amount of the amount, and the 34-year-old can feel the difference by preparing for Zobut in 147 against Ekow Essuman (21-1, 8 KO) in Glasgow on Saturday [DAZN, 10 p.m. BST].

“I am basically my natural weight. I am now a few pounds, which is nothing. I am and I am full of energy and I am full of beans,” says Taylor.

Do not worry about limiting the last few pounds before weighing, which can be a brutal process.

Without a sauna, without sweat suits, no drainage.

Essuman will be a complex enough test for Taylor in his fourth fight for four years. Scot wants to become a world champion in two importance and as one of the best fighters in Great Britain, this is not a misunderstanding. But he needs a convincing victory to prove that he can compete with the best in what is now arranged.

“Get a victory this weekend, and then I am in a mixture of great welterweight fights, but I do not think about it because Ekow is a very complex test,” he explains.

“He tried and tested … there is a British community and master, so I will have full hands.”

Jaron “Boots” Ennis, Devin Haney, Mario Barrios and Conor Benn are just a few names of Taylor he dreams about if he shows that he is still at the elite level.

But there are questions that require answers.

Is he still hungry?

He was in some brutal wars and blooms when his fights are at a feverish pace that had to be toll.

How did he affect him? Six of his last seven fights went a distance, so how will his body react to climbing up again?

The second question that follows him until he disconnects the gloves: what about Jacek Cattell? The couple divided two brutal clashes, winning one.

“It’s one piece officially. I’m glad that I can go further and leave it where it is,” says Taylor.

“I was ready for the third, but they were not interested because they thought he would get the world championship title, but he was defeated [Arnold Barboza Jr.].

“I am on my own path now. I want to become a world champion in two weight. If the fight returns and is tasty enough in terms of numbers, I am having it because it is one for art and it would be good to resolve the result.”

Venerable Fox, Bill Haney, was today in Henhouse, at the reconnaissance mission in the Richardson Hitchins gym against the defense of his IBF welterweight title against George Cambosos Jr. June 14 at the theater in Madison Square Garden in Recent York. Bill claims that he was on vacation, but now he returned, looking for competition, storing knowledge for future opponents for his son, Devin Haney, to fight.

Haney needs a solid win for fans to forget about their shy performance against Jose Ramirez on the card on May 2. The fight, which Bill and Devin thought they would have against Ryan Garcia in October, seems to raise in smoke because of the way they performed on the Times Squad card. However, Hitchins is not an opponent who Haney must regain his credibility. He needs someone like Brian Norman Jr, Jaron Ennis or Shakhram Giyasov.

Bill Haney: Scouting Mission

Hitchins (19-0, 7 KO) fights one of Devin’s victims, Cambosos Jr. (22-3, 10 KO), whom he defeated twice in 2022 to become the undisputed champion of lightweight. It was Haney’s best victory and since then he was unable to compare it in his three fights.

In a very criticized move, Richardson rejected the fight with the former IBF 140-LB champion Subriel Matias for the fight against Cambosos. The praise that Hitchins briefly got for defeating Liam Paro to capture the title of IBF in December last year, she evaporated day by day after he rejected the fight with Matias. Fans perceived it as a duck, which is quite an true view. When you reject the fight with Subriel in favor of 2-3 Cambosos, there is no other way to interpret the movement.

Hitchins hardly tried to build the name of Cambosos to seem more credible in the eyes of public opinion. It almost sounds like he was a Cambosos promoter with glazing he made.

Richardson Hitchins: “No, he doesn’t want to do it,” said Hitchins Warrior When he said he heard that Devin Haney wanted to go back to 140. “Since I had become [IBF light welterweight] Master, Haney pulled out the fuck. “

Bill Haney: “I’ll tell you one thing. I was on vacation, but now I came back. I spirish. Yes, I am looking for a master [Hitchins]. “

Hitchins: “June 14, I will show him what his son [Devin] He should have done George Cambosos. What he did was chilly, boxing and anything. What I do with one of his best won his son will be nasty. We intend to wake him up with this fight, “Hitchins said when he said that the Times Square card in Recent York, for which Haney fought, is” monotonous “.

Bill: “Just be careful. Eat easily, eat wisely, because Cambosos is not effortless to chew. Devin looked like this. Cambosos is a good warrior. I expect a good match between two extremely talented warriors and I will watch here. But now I’m looking.”
