Barrios vs Santiago FULL FIGHT: February 11, 2023 | PBC on Showtime
Спорт
Former champion and San Antonio-native Mario “El Azteca” Barrios snapped his two-fight losing streak with a razor sharp, career-rejuvenating performance against Jovanie Santiago in Saturday’s co-feature. Barrios dropped Santiago in the eighth round with a left to the body and followed up, causing referee Mark Calo-Oy, upon the request of Santiago’s corner, to stop the fight at 1:42 of the eighth of their welterweight contest scheduled for 10 rounds. Barrios led 70-63 on all three judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage.
After Santiago (14-3-1, 10 KOs) touched the canvas for the fourth time of his career from the body shot, Barrios, who is back with top trainer Bob Santos, followed up with a straight right hand that snapped Santiago’s head back, causing his corner to step in. After losing his last two fights to top talents Gervonta Davis and Keith Thurman, Barrios (27-2, 18 KOs) had his way with Santiago, who was also coming off back-to-back losses to Adrien Broner and Gary Antuanne Russell.
The CompuBox stats backed up Barrios’ dominance. The 27-year-old landed 90 more punches than the gutty Santiago, who actually out-threw Barrios by a single punch. Barrios landed 39 more jabs, 51 more power punches and looked super-charged throughout the fight, buoyed from the hometown crowd and his own desire to get back into the win column.
He hurt Santiago with a right hand a minute into the sixth round, causing Santiago to briefly sag into the ropes. Barrios stunned Santiago again with a left to the body and head moments later as Santiago looked battered, his right eye badly swelling. Barrios landed a lunging left hook to end the sixth as Santiago somehow remained on his feet.
“It feels amazing,” Barrios said afterward. “It took me a while to get into that groove, to get that rhythm. I felt great. I wouldn’t say I was different [tonight], but definitely with a larger arsenal. I’m pretty thankful to have Bob [Santos] in my corner and my sister. I had to get just as physical. That’s another thing we have been working on in the gym. I knew Santiago was coming with it. And he took the fight in my backyard. That says a lot about him. He’s a hell of a warrior, I tip my hat to him.
“I felt myself breaking him down little by little. I just had to be patient. My counter right hand is something that we’ve been working on at the gym in Vegas. I feel I’m definitely up there with the [welterweight] elite. I still have something to prove. I promised my city a world title, and I got it in 2019 and I will do it again.”

Taking a loss only make you a better fighter great fight from Barrio's.
Barrios got fast hands a great jab and an all around good fighter!
Mario's win over ugas was 👌🏻
Mario Barrios is doing good job of covering the corners and cutting of the ring: Cornering opponents... be good student 🎇🌠🎆💯💜
I love watching barrios always a blast great crowds great brawls and just all out fun times!! Real fighter
Mario deserves this, let's go Mario PR saludos
Ever since that Tank loss, he’s increased his fighting iq
Despite losses, M.B is just getting better n stronger each fight passes. His stopping Ugas is a huge milestone of his career. His choice to fight Ennis deserves respect regarding how other fighters avoid the latter. Still, it is too tall a task indeed.

Mario Barios put together a boxing clinic
Mexico vs Puerto Rico siempre an sido los mejores combvates ...
Santiago didn't close the show. He fought someone who was 7lbs lighter & smaller. Yet, 2 back-to-back Ls in his same weight class before this fight. Barrios is good.
Boots goin to Stop Barrios in 6
Barrios is my favorite boxer
Was Barrios in there with one of the little people because that's what it looked like to me.
Thankfully the Crowed drowned out the Commentators....
The warrior is back
He wasn't fighting anybody, he was in the ring by himself
⁸Mario come back I know he can be a champion.
Nmms 😂😂😂min.33:54 el referí casi tumba al peleador con ese manotazo al hígado 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Santiago has that dog in him .. the fact that he went down with a body shot and not from any of those headshots .. says a lot about his personality..
ya saw that coming . he's a good boxer.
Very good fighter
westport w.state here. i am waiting for one of these officielles to ask if the boxes would like a room. so much hugging and dancing or kiss and get it overwith.
It's a shame for boxers who call themselves champions, taking advantage of smaller opponents.fight in your natural weight.
I ain’t even know he fought. They don’t even promo the fights tf
Good stoppage
Yo pienso que son buenos peleadores pero no me gusta que amarren a lo que van yo soy conocedor de boxeo
PBC need HBO matchmaker
