Live updates, outcomes, and analysis of the Mario Barrios versus Ryan Garcia match

Ryan Garcia aims to secure his first significant world title as he faces WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.

Garcia (24-2, 20 KOs) previously captured the WBC interim lightweight title in 2021 by defeating Luke Campbell via stoppage. He seemed to achieve the most notable victory of his career in April 2024 when he won against Devin Haney by majority decision — a match in which Garcia missed weight and was not eligible to claim the title — but he subsequently tested positive for a prohibited substance, leading to the result being changed to a no-contest. He then came up short in his attempt for the WBA “regular” welterweight title, losing a decision to Rolando “Rolly” Romero last May.

Garcia now has another opportunity — this time against Barrios, who is making his fourth title defense. Barrios secured the WBC interim title with a win over Yordenis Ugas in 2023, defended it against Fabian Maidana in May 2024, and was promoted to full champion when Terence Crawford was designated champion in recess by the WBC. He has since fought to consecutive draws in title defenses against Abel Ramos in November 2024 and Manny Pacquiao last July.
