On July 19th WBC world welterweight champion Mario Barrios will be stepping in there with an inspiration and now a literal living legend.
Recently eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao was formally inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
He is now an active boxer with the status which rarely happens in history.
His opponent is a world champion but spoke here frankly of being star struck by a man soon he will look to bust up and take out of the equation:
Pacquiao will look to bust him out as well, of course.
Both Pacquiao and Barrios are professional-hitman like in their mentalities and work ethics like all top level professional fighters are.
Both are respectful and quiet individuals who do not need to talk, they let their fists and murderous, clinical work in the fight game do the talking.
Both can punch a bit and you’d need a baseball bat to keep both of these guys down.
Barrios is a serious fighter.
This is not easy to say the least for Pacquiao.
