SAN ANTONIO, TX (Decembrie 12, 2015) – Rising Star și senzație de super-pană, Mario Barrios (14-0, 8 KO), a rămas neînvinsă cu un knock-out rundă a șasea spectaculos peste Manuel Vides (18-5, 11 KO). Meciul, care a fost televizată în cadrul CCP pe NBCSN a avut loc la AT&T Center din orașul său natal, San Antonio, Texas.

“M-am simțit puternic a intra în ring in seara asta,” Said Mario Barrios. “We had a great training camp and I got a lot of good sparring to get me prepared for this fight. I got into a good rhythm early and kept my foot on the pedal. I had him hurt early but he was a very tough opponent and pushed me to the later rounds. By coach Bob Santos told me to start throwing more uppercuts and that’s when I landed that big shot in the sixth round. I followed the right uppercut with a left hook and got him out of there.”

Cu victorie, Cartiere, care a fost pe cale rapidă, recorded his seventh victory of 2015. He’s very pleased to be staying active as he ascends to the top of the super-featherweight division.”

I also want to thank my team for all their hard work. I’m very happy with my performance and I couldn’t have done it without them. I’m looking forward to another busy year in 2016.”
