STEP, TX (Juli 19, 2015) – I hans første 8-runde Bout, ubesejret Super-Fjervægt sensation, Mario Barrios (10-0, 5 KOS), cruisede til en lyd sejr over Arturo Esquivel (9-3, 2 KOS), to record his tenth win. The impressive conquest took place this past Lørdag på Don Haskins Center i El Paso, Texas på PBC på CBS event, hovednavn ved Carl Frampton vs. Alejandro Gonzalez Jr.

Ved hjælp af hans enorme højde og nå fordel, Barrios controlled the action with a long jab and precise combinations. Esquivel, som var det naturligt større mand, var ikke i stand til at lande nogen rene slag på Barrios, who won every round. Scorecards read 80-72 over hele linjen.

“Går otte runder for første gang var en stor og lærerig oplevelse for mig.” Said Mario Barrios, der ledes af Al HAYMON. “I was able to pace myself throughout the entire fight and never got tired. I could have gone four more rounds if this was a twelve round fight. Esquivel is a very tough fighter and I’m glad we both came out healthy. I’ll be ready to get back in the ring as soon as Haymon has another date for me. I’m very thankful for all the opportunities Haymon Boxing has given me.”
