Manny Pacquiao will end almost a four -year break from the ring to challenge Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title on July 19 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
“I came back”, Pacquiao Posted on social media That his rumors return officially. “Let’s do a story!”
Last time Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KO) was in a square district, the Filipino boxing legend abandoned the unanimous decision to Yordenis Ugas in August 2021. He was 42 years aged. When he passes through the ropes to face Barrio, he will be 46 years aged.
Pacquiao, which will be introduced to the International Gallery of Boxing Fame on June 8, did not deal with the motivation for the decision to end his retirement, but the story he talks about is an opportunity to break his own record as the oldest 147-pound world champion in boxing (40 years, 215 days). In historically, only two boxers won the fight for the title of world champion at the age of 46 or older – George Foreman (46 years aged, 102 days) and Bernard Hopkins, who won four title fights after their 46th birthday and was 49 years aged, 94 days in his last winning title.
Foreman had amazing power at his advanced age to remove opponents, while Hopkins was more about technology and defense than athleticism to lead him to victory at the age of 40. Pacquiao is largely based on athleticism to win the fights, and its once flat speed was clearly falling in its last fight.
To illustrate the fall of Pacquiao, he threw 10 less blows to the round and landed about seven fewer blows for the round in his six fights after the age of 40, compared to its results in the last 14 fights earlier, according to Compubox-Rekord 4-2 with only 1 KO.
Defeating Barrios will be a huge mountain to climb-in-depths and in the figuratively-for the only eight-person world champion in boxing. Replaced at 6 feet, Barrios will be the highest opponent of Pacquiao in his multi -story professional career, which began in 1995. Barrios is also 16 years younger than Pacquiao, which is the greatest divergence of age for the four -time northern champion.
But while Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KO) is more than powerful, the father’s time will be the most challenging challenge for Pacquiao to defeat the ring.
Pacquiao met with the legendary coach Freddie Roach to return to the fight, and the animated duo will work to build a game plan to cause nervousness. But boxing is a challenging sport that you can jump after almost half a decade, especially in the 1940s, and when athletism was the basis of Pacquiao’s success.
As a warrior whose crime is based on speed and explosion, Pacquiao must find a youth fountain to cause nervousness (Barrios is a favorite by -450 for the ESPN plant). Throughout his career, Pacquiao’s success was largely because of his ability to throw trouble and go out, blowing up opponents with combinations of lightning at heavenly angles. Only the highest contractors (Juan Manuel Marquez and Floyd Mayweather) could get the right reading of the unpredictable Pacquiao offensive explosions and tame them at the right time. When Pacquiao began to ponderous down, it was easier to qualify fighters such as Jeff Horn to work out. Despite this, there were moments when Pacquiao was swift enough at the draw to surprise the opponents. Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman faced-I lost-40-year-old Pacquiao, who was still explosive enough to overwhelm at its speed.
It was six years ago.
In the last fight, Pacquiao from Ugas showed less explosion and hindered his leg work through JAB and looping his right hand. It is true that Ugas is a technically solid Cuban boxer, which was based on the fundamental sound over pure athleticism to become the world champion. Nevertheless, Pacquiao never found any rhythm and was finally developed in what was assumed that he was the final fight of his legendary career.
The fight against Barrio will be the same about finding your aged Pacquiao form as about overcoming the physical advantages of the opponent. Pacquiao will have to hope that his time away from sport will provide a very needed spring at his step. If he is not able to cut angles and find holes that you can throw and leave the legs of the legs, he will end at the wrong end of the Barrios long immersion.
Barrios, however, is not impossible to beat and is the most reasonable path for Pacquiao to achieve his purpose of regaining the title of welterweight. During the last trip, Barrios survived the knocking out in the sixth round to save the split against Abel Ramos to Undercard Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson in November. Barrios tends to negate his growth and achieve advantages, fighting the “miniature” and having most of his success inside. His loser with a knockout from Gervont Davis in 2021. “El Azteca” became defenseless, squatting within her shorter opponent-Davis has 5 feet-5½. Barrios is also a bit slower and can be developed by a more extensive opponent. Thurman left the 931-day break and looked faster and sharper than Barrios when they met in 2022.
Despite this, Thurman was 33 years aged and in the original years of boxing of physicality and athleticism. Pacquiao is far from this. It is unlikely that in the mid -1940s Pacquiao will somehow faster and more explosive than against Thurman and Broner in 2019.
It flows out on June 28 from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, in a fight that will be available worldwide in Dazn PPV-Jake Paul equalizes with Julio Emperar Chavez Jr. The fight will take place on the weight limit in the cruiser’s weight, and this is an intriguing and almost strange duel.
Jake Paul’s whole trip in professional boxing is quite strange in itself. His last fight was a great example in which in November Paul leveled with the 58 -year -old hefty world champion Iron Mike Tyson. Paul was over 30 years younger than Tyson, and Paul won the fight according to the 8th runes of a unanimous decision. Until now, Paweł’s opponents were against the novices, a debut, guys with 0-1 records and many MMA fighters and this kind. Paul usually has an advantage in terms of size, experience or youth – sometimes all three. The situation with Chavez JR is not different.
Chavez is technically the most experienced professional Paul boxer. Chavez has 54-6-1 in his professional career, and his best days of fighting were a dozen or so years ago in medium weight. Chavez fought only once in the last three and a half years, winning the 6th round of a unanimous decision against Uriah Hall. At the age of 39, Chavez is almost 20 years younger than Iron Mike, so Chavez is only 40, unlike 60, such as Iron Mike. But Paul is more than 10 years older, much less lively in recent years and will fight much above his main weight of the fight.
So who will win the upcoming fight between Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr?

Kell Brook believes that the undisputed champion of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez and the advantage of the power will be too great for Terenka Crawford to beat in the fight on September 13.
The former welterweight master Brook points out that it would be a different story if Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) fought “Medical Master” In medium weight he would have a good chance of winning. But to go with a “good master” at the age of 168, it will be too much.
People’s omitting medium weight risk
Crawford skipped 160 pounds. If he moved to the medium scale and challenged IBF and WBO master, Janibek Alimkhanuly, there is a chance that he would lose with him. Janibek is an even bigger blow than Israil Madrimov, and this guy fought Crawford in August last year.
Crawford’s challenge
“Crawford will have to get up [two divisions and 14 pounds]. I know when I got up Golovkin. There is a substantial difference, especially when it is someone [good]- said Kell Brook Boxing fansDiscussing with which Terence Crawford he is against his clash with Canelo Alvarez.
Initially, Brook did a job against Golovkin, boxing in four rounds. However, the eye injury stopped Kell’s progress in the fifth, forcing to stop when he could no longer deal with GGG pressure. However, Golovkin was youthful 34, with better durability than 35-year-old Canelo.
The Mexican star cannot fight at the same pace as Golovkin against Brook. There is no engine that Golovkin had at the same age. So the chances that Canelo wears Crawford down, just like GGG with Brook, they are slim, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t win. He still has the advantage of strength and experience over Crawford.
If the countryman from Nebrask moved to 168 during the year, when he was out of the ring, he would have a better chance of winning. He did not want to risk the loss and loss of his gigantic payment of $ 50 million.
“Fighting with medium weight, a mediocre world champion is fine. When you fight someone like Canelo, it’s a different kettle of fish. I have to bend towards Canelo, but Crawford is very good.”
Crawford didn’t even fight in medium weight. He moved to 154 in his last fight with Israil Madrimov and did not even dominate him. Called “Little GGG” Madrimov made a number on Crawford’s face and was close to defeating him. Crawford is now moving two additional divisions to fight an even greater hit at Canelo on September 13.
Brook lost to Crawford in 2020 by knockout in the fourth round. This was not the main version of Kell, which Terestsie defeated. It was a tired version after an eye injury after Genadiyu. Crawford would be much more complex to beat Brook when he was at its best, before GGG reached him and ruined what was a promising career.
Brook compares Crawford to Mayweather
“When I look back [Floyd] Mayweather defeated Canelo [in 2013]He was the applicant. Crawford is not really like Mayweather in this respect. In a sense, he puts his feet. He is cut how he approaches, throwing arrows and moves. I think he is a different warrior from Mayweather. Of course, Canelo is another warrior when Mayweather got up – said Brook.
Crawford was a driving force for years ago. When you look back at his fight with Viktor Postol in 2016, his mobility was on a par with the main Mayweather. It was, however, nine years ago. This version of Crawford no longer exists in 2025.
The years were complex to the body of Terence, robbing him at the speed of the feet and most of the speed of the hand he had at the time. Now everything that is left is his IQ and his ambition to earn money and undertaking what some boxing fans are the best warrior in the 168 pounds division.
Ryan Garcia appeared today on X, saying to his mandrel that he was an alcoholic for a year, and suffered from a “bipolar disorder of depression”, entering his defeat with Rolando “Rolly” Romero on May 2 on Times Square in Recent York.
Lack of revenge for a garcia?
Surprising that many Kingra followers turned to him, hitting him for trying to whiten their defeat from Rolly by cooking excuses. The fans wanted to hear from their hero. They wanted Garcia to show their endurance and to take revenge on Rolly (17-2, 13 KO), just like a soldier in the war, if his company lost the key battle, and half of the platoon was decimated by the enemy. It’s about returning to take revenge. It was the fans who wanted to hear from Kingra.
“People must remember that boxing is not for the faint. I went down a year of being an alcoholicsuffering from affective affective bipolar disease. I don’t mind judgment, but I’m ready to come back and show that you can come back from everything – said Ryan Garcia X.
Ryan’s absolute desire is missing to take revenge on the fire. It would be a normal reaction to the war and this fans expect from him. He is not there. Instead, Garcia invents and allows roll to escape his win.
Is Garcia a pacifist?
People expect Ryan (24-2, 20 KO) at least try to avenge his loss, retooling and returning to the second fight. Maybe it can’t. $ 20 million, which Garcia received for the fight Romero, could take hunger, weakening him mentally to such an extent Become a pacifist And he doesn’t want to fight anymore. There is no fight in it anymore and he just wants to sit on his side, allowing others to fight his battles.
It will not take much time before the roll loses again because it is completely defective. Place it with one of the good pretenders at the age of 147, and he will lose his “ordinary” WBA welterweight belt.
