    July nineteenth, at last official. WBC welterweight title at stake, second defense of Barrios after being promoted from interim champion.

    Pacquiao last fought professionally in August of 2021, losing a unanimous decision to Yordenis Ugás Hernández. This will be the Filipino legend's first match against a Mexican since his fourth fight with Juan Manuel Márquez in 2011.

    Pac can win but he probably loses an 8-4 type fight.

    Manny looked flat footed and lethargic 4 years ago against a basic fighter in Ugas, so I fail to see how he’d look much better in his mid 40s coming off 4 years of ring rust.

    Barrios decision most likely

    Massive Pac fan, doubted him against Thurman a few years back…but would realistically be kidding myself to be able to vote for him here.

    I like Barrios, but don’t really rate him too high realistically, but this is more about what Pac is at this stage.

    personally, I always thought the Ugas fight would be a lot harder than people thought. The way he beat the snot out of Figueroa showed that even if the smaller Pac could get inside, he was in for trouble. So I don’t think that performance figures in to my calculus that much.

    No idea what this will look like.

    Marlo Thomas? Kind of old, even for Manny. Who will he fight next, Sally Fields?
