Mario “El Azteca” Barrios and Ryan “King Ry” García will meet this Saturday, February 21, in a 12‑round showdown for the WBC welterweight title (147 lbs / 66.7 kg) at the T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA). The clash pits Barrios’ physical, pressure‑first approach against García’s fast hands and sharp counterpunching, promising a high‑paced fight with real knockout potential for both men.

Barrios comes in as the defending WBC champion, known for his durability, body attack, and willingness to trade in the pocket, while García looks to reclaim momentum at welterweight by using his speed, timing, and left‑hook power to keep the taller champion at range. With both fighters in their prime and carrying genuine stopping power, many observers expect momentum swings and the possibility that the fight will not need the judges’ scorecards.
