Mario Barrios Exited About
Making Rapid
Return To The Ring Sept. 26 In Alabama
Undefeated super-featherweight sensation, Mario Barrios
(11-0, 6 KOs), makes a rapid return to the ring as he will
fight an opponent TBA on the Wilder vs. Duhaupas card,
taking place at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama,
Saturday, September 26.
This will be the third 8-round bout for the San Antonio,
Texas native. In his last bout which took place on September
6th in Corpus, Christi, TX, Barrios scored an impressive
fourth round TKO over Jose Cen Torres. A body shot to the
liver ended the bout at the 2:10 mark of the round. Looking
to stay active, Barrios is relishing at the opportunity to
fight on another high profile card.
"This will be my second fight in September and I'm very
pleased with the way my career is going." said Mario
Barrios. "I love staying active and I'm getting more
comfortable in the ring with each fight. Fighting in Alabama
for the first time, on a big card featuring the heavyweight
champion of the world, will be a great experience. You can
expect me to impose my game plan on my opponent, whoever
that might be."
