Tonight, Uncrowned is delivering real-time outcomes, detailed round-by-round information, memorable moments, fighter entrances, and schedule for the Barrios versus Garcia boxing event, held this Saturday evening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The highlight of the evening features Mario Barrios putting his WBC welterweight championship on the line against Ryan Garcia.
Barrios, who holds a record of 29 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws, and 18 knockouts, secured the WBC interim welterweight belt in September 2023 by triumphing over Yordenis Ugas via unanimous decision. His status was elevated to full champion in 2024, and he has since successfully retained the title twice, engaging in disputed stalemates with Abel Ramos and, most recently, Manny Pacquiao in July.
Previously, Barrios possessed the WBA (regular) super lightweight championship from 2019 until its forfeiture to Gervonta “Tank” Davis in 2021.
Garcia, with a professional record of 24 wins, 2 losses, and 20 knockouts, recognized as a prominent figure in boxing, previously held the WBC interim lightweight title. Last May, Garcia experienced a loss to WBA welterweight titleholder Rolando “Rolly” Romero. This bout marked Garcia’s return after his April 2024 encounter with Devin Haney was declared a no-contest.
Initially deemed victorious against Haney, Garcia subsequently tested positive for ostarine and incurred a one-year suspension for the violation. Garcia had also previously competed against “Tank” Davis, suffering a seventh-round stoppage in their 136-pound catchweight contest in 2023.
Preliminary matches for the Barrios versus Garcia event are scheduled to commence at 6:30 p.m. ET, available for viewing on Uncrowned via this link.
The primary fight card commences at 8 p.m. ET on DAZN pay-per-view, and the featured fighters are anticipated to enter the ring around 11:50 p.m. ET.
