Barrios had time to adapt and is now closed and prepared for a laid -out approach before sedate Pacquiao.

“I am a master for some reason and I will show it.”

After losing the great fights, Barrios learned what he had to do to get a victory.

“I think I can a lot, which I learned from fighting Gervont Davis. The way he closes the distance and uses its speed, as well as its size, is similar. All my great fights really prepared me at the moment.

“I saw people with Manny at such press conferences since I was a child. He is not too sedate, except when he is in the ring.

“I know he will bring him when we enter the ring.”
