Barrios will be taking on the most accomplished opponent of his
career as he looks to put himself in the number two position for Jose
Pedraza’s 130-pound title. For this training camp, Barrios has moved
part of his training camp from San Antonio to Las Vegas where he has
sparred at the UNLV Gym and at the gym of former world champion Robert
Guerrero.
Here is what Barrios had to say about his fight, training camp and more:
On fighting in his first 12-round main event…
“This is what I’ve worked my whole life for, to be fighting in main
events on national television. I’m confident that I’ll be able to the
full 12-rounds if need be. My goal is to get the knockout though. I
really want to make a statement in this fight.
On his matchup with Devis Boschiero…
“All I know about Boschiero is that he’s got a lot of fights and he’s a
top contender. I know he’s hungry so I’m not taking him lightly. I’ve
seen some tape on him and I know he likes to come forward. Everyone can
expect to see a lot of had punches being thrown by both of us. I’m
expecting a war.”
On the landscape of the super featherweight division…
“It’s a very tough division loaded with a lot of great fighters. I would
say Lomachenko, Pedraza and Vargas are the top dogs for now. Salido is
also up there. It’s one of the toughest divisions in boxing. I’m hoping I
can become a champion in this division. A victory against Boschiero
puts me right there to challenge for the title. I’m a hungry fighter and
everyone will see that on July 9.”
On hosting training camp in Las Vegas for the first time…
“Training in Las Vegas has been incredible. Running in high elevation is
something new for me. I had to get used to it when I first got out
here. It’s been a tough camp but I know all the hard word will pay off.”
On fighting on ESPN during primetime on Saturday night…
“I’m very happy to be fighting on ESPN during primetime on Saturday
night. I have a lot of family, friends and fans back home who’ll be
tuning in. I just want to go out there and shine. I feel my style is
explosive for television and I hope everyone enjoys what I bring to the
table. Everyone will see a determined fighter in myself, who’s going to
leave everything in the ring.
