Coach Mario Barrios, Bob Santos, told worldboxingnews.com that he is in the obscure over the defense of the Manny Pacquiao Championships.

Reports are widespread that Barrios will defend the WBC welterweight title against the Filipino Superstar on July 19 at the T-Mobile Arena.

Several stories suggest that Barrios vs. Pacquiao is implemented as part of the Sebastian Fund Vs Tim Tyu Fund event in Las Vegas, Nevada.

However, Santos could not confirm anything when WBN contacted the respected coach regarding the successful end of year -round conversations.

“Everyone says that Barrios vs. Pacquiao is ready, but Luis Decubas and Al Haymon (the most crucial boxing masters) did not tell me anything final,” said Santos only World Boxing News.

“In particular, I called Luis, and he told me that (Pacquiao) focused on his elections of May 12 and after that there would be updated.

“He doesn’t make any decision (by that time). We’re trying to fight this guy for a year and a half.”

Pacquiao will find out about his efforts to join the Philippines again next week. The current head of the MP promotion, so far refuses to disclose all the details of the potential contract by that time.

WBN has been in constant contact with Gibbons in the last few months. As soon as there is something specific to apply for Barrios vs Pacquiao, WBN will know about it.

It seems that Santos is on the same boat.

“Believe me, I would not like anything more for this fight to happen,” said Santos. “I tried to do it for a year, asking Sean Gibbon if he was coming back to the fight.

“So until they announce it officially, and even until we are in the ring, this is not a completed contract. I understand that he only concentrates on May 12, which in my opinion is his Senate race.

“Believe me, I would like to see the fight more than anyone, but from what Sean told me, Pacquiao focuses only on the Senate race on May 12.

Who knows after that, but I hope it will happen – he concluded.

Barrios recently fought in November, when Abel Ramos attracted Mike Tyson’s return against Jake Paul. The 29-year-old was improved from the WBC fleeting master before the fight.

Pacquiao has not been lively for four years. In 2021, he was beaten by Yordenis Ugas, abandoning the status of a world title after he became the oldest welterweight champion in history.

“Pac-Man” defeated Keith Thurman in a huge fight to win the WBA welterweight championships on July 40, 2019.

All he was ready to fight Errol Spence in unification until the then ruler-Ibf suffered injuries. Uga entered and withdrew from Pacquiao through a unanimous decision, the most thinking of for good.

However, Pacquiao will probably return to the division of a welterweight at the age of 46.

WBN for the first time gave the news about Master WBC Barrios from Pacquiao last year, and since then the president of WBC Mauricio Sulaiman confirmed the WBN report.

The fight about the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez with William Scull had a kind of formalities on Saturday. And the formality is exactly as it took place.

Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) was for the second time the unquestioned champion of 168 pounds in his career when he defeated Sculla (23-1, 9 KO) through a decision in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Alvarez regained the title of IBF with the victory, which was deprived of him last year after he refused to face Scull.

Saturday’s win was organized by a very anticipated duel between Alvarez and Terenka Crawford on September 12 at the Stadium allegian in Las Vegas. Crawford was present on Saturday and immediately entered the ring to take place with Alvarez.

The end result was the expecting of boxing sport-and wanting-but a painful 12-round fight on Saturday making it official. Scull, a 32-year-old from Kuba, spent most of the championships dancing around the region, throwing carefree dignons behind them. Alvarez chased Scull from Bella to Bella, but refused to aggressively open more than necessary.

This turned into a very straightforward fight to get acquired in favor of Alvarez, but complex to watch. Alvarez won the results of 119-109, 116-112 and 115-113.

“I don’t like fighting this kind of guys,” said Alvarez. “They just came to survive until the last round. That’s why I don’t like to fight them. It won’t be such a fight [against Crawford]. I hate this kind of fight. He moved even more than we thought. But it’s okay. We won. We are here. “

However, Alvarez said that his “pleasure” would fight the fighter of the action such as Crawford.

“I feel great. Crawford is one of the best and, you know, I like to share a ring with this kind of warrior,” said Alvarez. “It’s my pleasure.”

Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) proposed a slight analysis of Alvarez’s performance, saying: “He did what he had to do to do what was before him.”

Alvarez and Scull received warnings about inaction, but this did not stop it from being historically ponderous. According to Compubox, both connected for 445 strokes. This is the smallest number of connected blows thrown into a 12-round fight in a 40-year compubox history. Each of them landed almost an incomprehensible average of five blows to the round.

Nevertheless, Alvarez’s crime clearly exceeded Scull when he aimed at Scull’s body with power strokes. He extended the winning Alvarez series in six, all of which went to a distance. He did not shoot a knockout from the 11th round of Caleb Plant in November 2021. Scull, who went on Saturday as an IBF champion, suffered the first defeat of his career.

Turki Alalshikh announced Canelo Alvarez vs. tonight in the evening Terenca Crawford “Gigantic Fight” at the Las Vegas stadium. It calls it “Fight of the century “ Which does not reflect reality. It’s more like “Fight of the Month” in September.

Crawford entered the ring after the 12-round unanimous Canelo decision with the super middle champion IBF William Scull. The victory meant that Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) was a twice unquestioned champion. He needed this title as a Crawford fighting point because he is a former two -level unquestioned master, doing so in 140 and 147.

Surprising, Bud Crawford looked bigger than Canelo tonight. During the meeting you can see that he was thicker and heavier than Alvarez, who in the 180s. He looked at the fight with Scull. Crawford was eating well in nine months, when he was out of the ring since the razor’s color over Israil Madrimov in his debut on August 154 last year.

“Now we want to fight for a century. The fight in September between two great warriors in our generation, Canelo Alvarez and Crawford,” said Turki Alalshikh, Inside the ring After the victory of Alvarez over the super middle champion Ibf William Scull. “It will be at the stadium in Las Vegas on September 12.

Many free boxing fans are not fans of Crawford. It is popular among the segment of hardcore boxing fans who like to watch fighters who practice “hit-i-get-get” style. It does not fight aggressively enough to be popular among mainstream fans.

Turki did not mention the price of PPV for the “great fight” between Canelo and Crawford. There will be many dissatisfied boxing fans if it is costs $ 100As in the case of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao Fight. Considering that today’s Canelo-Scull fight was 60 USD per DAZN PPV, you would have to think that the Canelo-Crawford event will be higher.

It’s a good fight, but not close to the level that defines it. Crawford is not a fight that fans want to see. They want Canelo to fight David Benavidez, not the aging Crawford.
