Super Featherweight Phenom
Mario Barrios Looks Sensational Knocking Out Torres In Four
Rounds
Super-Featherweight phenomenon, Mario Barrios improved to
(11-0, 6 KOs) with another sensational knockout, stopping
his opponent Jose Cen Torres, at the 2:10 mark of round
four. Leija Battah Promotions and Warriors Boxing promoted
the event from American Bank Center in Corpus Christi,
Texas, which aired live on Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on
CBS.
In the opening round, Barrios used his height and reach to
perfection, keeping Torres at bay with a powerful jab.
Torres, who was running for dear life, did everything he
could to survive. After dominating for the first three
rounds, Barrios turned up the heat. In the round four,
Barrios came out guns blazing, and landed a double left hook
to Torres' temple, followed by a bruising shot to the liver,
ending the bout. With the win, Barrios sees himself as a
force to be reckon with in the super-featherweight division.
"This was a good fight for me as I'm on my march for a world
title," said Mario Barrios. "I definitely want to get right
back in the gym to start working on some things I know I can
improve on. Because Torres was giving me a lot of movement,
I had to make some adjustments. Once I figured him out, I
know I was going to stop him. The super-featherweight
division is wide open for me to march up the rankings. With
Al Haymon guiding my career, I know I'm going to have some
golden opportunities to shine. I'm looking forward to my
next fight."
