    I think he beats Barrios, but it would definitely be a bigger challenge for him. Mario isn't going to run away from him like Karen....but he's also not going to simply sit in front of Boots like Avaneysan did last night. Mario is also going to bring a different approach to his offensive output, forcing Boots to change up his defense just a little.

    The fight I am actually interested in seeing for boots is him and Brian Norman Jr. Or at least Conner Benn so we can see him show and prove or be shut up.

    Norman Junior has to get that defense together, but he showed me something in his last fight. You just don’t go to another man’s hometown and give a beating like that ,it was special and against a good fighter a little more seasoning and if he can keep his head on straight boots might have someone that can give him a good test.

    The two posters above they either are Norman Jr himself or they work for him.

    You don’t think he’ll be ready for boots late next year?

    I don't think he will ever be ready for Boots. He's a good solid fighter but not on Boots level IMO. Plus I think Top Rank wants to make a fight between him and Teo I think that's a better fight for Norman Jr.

    :lol: What? He would beat the soul out of Barrios' body. Barrios would be lucky to see the second half of the fight

    mario is a local boy, and i think he gives boots a harder fight than most expect, cause he has really improved his game since tank. but boots stops him. hes just a level above in natural talent. wouldnt mind being wrong, though. i like mario, he comes to fight every time.
