    A pretty well matched card top to bottom, a lot of difficult to call match ups. I don't think this should be PPV. I may get mocked for this but I think that if you takeaway the WBC title at stake that this is Boxing After Dark level. Both guys are coming off of lackluster performances. Barrios has not won in how long? He arguably should be 0-2 in his last 2. Garcia has not won officially in a while and looked like a completely different fighter after the drug test.

    I think Barrios is going to out do Garcia and win on focus and activity and will. Garcia has the talent to be a solid fighter but I think he is a head case. We will see

    Not sure I will stay up for the main event, but I will push through the sleep deprivation to watch Hiraoka. It would be a great way to announce his presence in the US if he can put GAR out for the count.

    Barrios has power but not Rolly aka Broly from DBZ type power. I don’t think Ryan is going to be scared. All though Ryan is a one trick pony with his left hook. If he can vary the timing on the left hook and go up and change angles, that should be enough to get through Barrios. I actually think that -250 for Ryan is fair though wouldn’t be shocked if Barrios grinded out a win.

    On a cruise and will miss this unless it's on the ship somewhere. Garcia's last performance was ass, let's see which Ryan shows up.

    Hope Barrios does a number on King Ry.

    Think Ryan gets the stoppage over Barrios, hopefully a good fight either way

    Barrios vs Garcia is interesting to me. You have one guy who’s just average at everything and another who’s exceptional at a few things (athleticism and left hook) but poor in everything else

    I'm with you. Sad that this is what passes for a big fight nowadays. Neither is even close to being a top-tier fighter

    I think Ryan being with Robert Garcia, might be the kick in the ass that he needs. So I'm predicting the same Ryan we saw against Haney, and due to Barrios lack of defense, that's a great thing for Ryan. Kingry to win by KO within 3.
