Mario “El Azteca” Barrios, is the WBA Super Lightweight World Champion and is undefeated in his career with 26-0 and 17 knockouts. He won the title, which was vacant, against Batyr Akhmedov, on September 28, 2019 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. He successfully defended it against Ryan Karl, at the Alamodome, San Antonio, Texas, on October 31, 2020. A native of San Antonio, Texas, he is waiting to unify his world championship, which should be another of his greats. goals, if not the only one, in the face of a panorama that exhibits classifieds that do not represent exciting business.
And if the classifieds of the four most prestigious bodies that govern global boxing, are not profitable, the only offer of the world champions Superlight, is that of all against all, only then would they make a little money to alleviate the spoiling of the physical. Like the “Azteca” Barrios, also José Carlos Ramírez, WBC-WBO world champion, and Josh Taylor, IBF world champion and WBA super champion, are brand owners that do not even occupy a place in line to enter the big leagues.
Ramirez, who was born in California, with a 26-0 record with 17 knockouts, will unify with Josh Taylor, a Scotsman with a 17-0 record, 17 knockouts, in Las Vegas on May 22, and it can already be assumed that he will win. American, British boxers are not power. And hey, although all three are undefeated, they are cute to imagine them in a ring challenging world champions Welter, Errol Spence Jr., or Terence Crawford, considered to make up the lot that carries the fame of world boxing, are the scenarios in which you really pay.
Ramírez, Taylor and “El Azteca” could do better against the lightweight world champion, an immediate lower category in which Teófimo López delights, who stopped Vasyl Lomachenko, one of Bob Arum’s jewels, the Ukrainian built it to make him a successor to Manny Pacquiao, and thus earn a slice of the cake that Saúl “Canelo” Alvarez enjoys.
Teofimo is a stone thrower, he is brave and strong, against “El Azteca” Barrios or Ramírez, they would even hit the bucket, the chroniclers of the 1970s would say, which are the meetings that sell the most to the American public of Mexican descent, the caveman style , explosive crashes that end the boxers’ careers. And yes, the world champions Super lightweight would do better against Teofimo, economically.
Encounters that the fans await: Trilogy “Gallo” Estrada- “Chocolatito” González. “Gallo” -Estrada-Jerwin Ancajas. Emanuel Navarrete-Gary Russell Jr. Oscar Valdez-Gervonta Davis. Teófimo López-Ryan García, stone thrower fight. Errol Spence Jr.-Terrence Crawford. Gilberto Ramírez-Saúl “Canelo” Alvarez.
And I’ll be watching over there.
