Barrios vs Boschiero FULL FIGHT: July 9, 2016 - PBC on ESPN

(July 10, 2016) - Undefeated rising super featherweight contender Mario Barrios (16-0, 8 KOs) defeated former title challenger Devis Boschiero (39-5-1, 21 KOs) by unanimous decision (120-107 X 3) in the 12-round main event of Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN & ESPN Deportes from Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, New Jersey.
From the opening bell, Barrios asserted himself as the aggressor, landing his jab at will and finding his distance early.
Barrios said, "Initially my game plan was to work the jab and see what would open (Boschiero) up. But as the rounds went by he didn't seem like he was going to come at me. He just didn't seem to want any action.”
A very tall super featherweight at more than six feet, the 21-year-old Barrios proved difficult for the stocky Boschiero to reach. However, near the end of the second round, the experienced Italian found a rare opening and landed several punches that briefly put Barrios on his heels.
In round three, Barrios regained control and coasted throughout the middle rounds, largely due to Boschiero’s hesitation to engage.
"It was pretty frustrating. I came out to put on a show for the fans, and unfortunately it seemed like my opponent was just trying to survive,” said Barrios. “I can try to press the fight all I want, but if he doesn't want to fight it's not going to happen.”
Boschiero, who challenged for a world title in 2011, added, “I had trouble finding my range tonight. He was tougher to hit than I expected.”
In round 12, Barrios scored the only knockdown of the fight, but Boschiero was able to get back to his feet and used the final seconds of the fight to execute his best combination of the night.
"I got to him in the final round,” said Boschiero. “But the opportunities were there when they weren't in previous rounds."
A victorious Barrios said, “This was my first 12-round fight, and it felt good to get the experience, I just wanted more intense action. But an ESPN main event takes my career to the next level. I'm just hoping for my shot at the title."

All the people booing probably never had a fight in their life

[@Geotherealest]

I’m here studying this fight to see what Barrios looks like against a 5’5 fighter since he might be fighting tank next

[@og2solid872]

You obviously don’t know boxing if you using height as a meter to study tank. And if Mario is smart, he won’t listen to anybody who tries to make talking points like the one you just made. He gone be on his ass in that ring quick, if he does.

[@RENEBOXYOUNG]

I'm doing the exact same thing 24, I have seen Mario in other fights, I got Tank in this fight man. I mean Mario will definitely bring it though. It's going to be a great fight 🥊💯💥

[@marsflee3815]

@@og2solid872 For good reason they call boxing "The Theater of the Unexpected." For you to say, "You don't know boxing," is in fact, a dumb thing to say. Everybody can predict and can make assumptions as to how the fight will turn-out, BUT that's not what will happen. You should know that, IF you know boxing. (It doesn't look like you do)

[@marsflee3815]

@@RENEBOXYOUNG Mario looks too slow for Tank. If Mario can keep-up with Tank's pace, he can make it an interesting fight, but it looks like another easy night for Tank.

@@marsflee3815 dude SHUT THE FUCK UP! Nothing just said made any sense at all. You definitely irrelevant. Then gone turn around and bandwagon off some shit I already made a point on...🤨🤔

[@wavylos9029]

I’m not going to lie I’m a Tank fan .... but boy that boy Mario hits like sledgehammer 💯

[@bobohannon7091]

I wonder if barrios is so great because of the height difference he has over all his opponents? I guess the David fight will tell it all.

[@BenjiNieto-fg7xg]

Barrios is 5'10 not 6'1 who the hell did the measurements barrious must got some special insoles or sum lmao😂

[@isaaclangan1307]

Who’s here because they heard he might fight the tank next?

Not beating Tank

[@JT-il3fe]

This is ridiculous

[@odellsilva345]

Barrios is tall but he's got t rex arms. I don't see him beating tank. It won't even be like Hearns vs Duran size advantage he's just slightly bigger than tank that's all

[@jusker25]

Tank gonna beat him easy

[@repeataftermeme75]

He’s kind of stiff. He’s not someone I’ve found entertaining to watch. Best of luck against tank. If he manages to win, post media will be fun to watch.

[@stephendufort4154]

This is the min event? More like the lame event!
