Re: Keith Thurman vs. Mario Barrios | FOX PPV - February 5, 2022
Thanks for sharing RKO! I've grown to look forward to your updates. I hope this is a great fight. I'm hopeful if Thurman wins and looks good, it sets up a fight with Crawford this summer. If he loses to Barrios, he's done imo.

Thurman Defends PPV Price Point of Barrios Fight: 'Bubblegum Ain't 25 Cents No More'
“2022, COVID, so much has changed in the world,” Thurman told Behind The Gloves. “Go buy groceries. How much do your groceries cost today? You’re gonna spend 80 bucks buying groceries. You’re gonna spend 40 bucks putting water in the refrigerator, OK? You wanna talk about prices, you’re gonna make me want to put my political hat on and I’mma start talking about the value of the US dollar. I’mma start talking about how bubblegum ain’t 25 cents no more, you know? That’s fact number one.”
“Let’s get into another fact,” Thurman said. “Let’s look into February 5th. What do you get? You’re not just getting Keith Thurman and Mario Barrios. This is not Shawn Porter versus Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford where nobody wants to watch the undercard. This is one of the most stacked undercards of the year. I cannot guarantee that my next fight will have an undercard as stacked as this fight.
“I’m gonna be backstage, warming up, watching every single fight. It’s gonna be a great night boxing. From the moment that pay-per-view hits you have action-packed fights. This is not just the Thurman show. I would love to take all the credit. But the roster that we have is tremendous. I’m looking forward to sneak-peaking these fights backstage. I’m also gonna have my head right. I’m gonna focus on my fight. But there’s gonna be some stuff that you're not going to want to miss.”
“I want my fight to be the best fight of the night, but I can’t guarantee that on this card, OK?” Thurman said. “I can’t guarantee that. I’m gonna put on a terrific performance, but I can’t guarantee that it will be the fight of the night because you just have great fights throughout the night. This is not your average pay-per-view. This is not where you’re just buying Floyd Mayweather. This is not just where you’re buying one fight. It's a stacked card, and when you take that into [consideration], I think you’ll understand why we are asking $75 for this pay-per-view.
“This is just a night of boxing that fight fans are not going to want to miss. Anybody that wants to shake up their nights of COVID every night, they want to keep it safe, they don't want to go to the club, they don't want to be out, buy the fight. Invite some friends over, make them give you $10, it’ll keep the burden away from you. Tell them to bring a pack of beer, get the fish and chips out. Whatever you need to do, man.”

Press Release | Undercard Update
Welterweight contender Abel Ramos will square off against Luke Santamaria in a 10-round bout that headlines PBC action live on FOX and FOX Deportes on Saturday, February 5 from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
The FOX broadcast begins at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT and features all-action super lightweight contenders Ryan “Cowboy” Karl and Omar “El Relámpago” Juarez battling in the 10-round in co-main event.
The FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View event begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and is headlined by former unified welterweight world champion Keith “One Time’’ Thurman battling former super lightweight world champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios, and also features four-division world champion Leo “El Terremoto’’ Santa Cruz taking on Keenan “Bedo’’ Carbajal in the co-main event. Plus, Jesus “Mono’’ Ramos clashes with Vladimir Hernandez in a 10-round super welterweight match and two-division champion Luis Nery will battle unbeaten Carlos Castro in the 10-round pay-per-view opener.
Abel Ramos was originally scheduled to take on Josesito Lopez as part of the FOX Sports Pay-Per-View event, but Lopez was injured in training camp and forced to withdraw. Jesus Ramos vs. Hernandez replaces the Abel Ramos vs. Josesito Lopez bout on the pay-per-view lineup.
Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions, are on sale now and are available at axs.com.
Ramos (27-4-2, 21 KOs) is part of a boxing family out of Casa Grande, Arizona, which includes his nephew, rising undefeated contender Jesus Ramos. The 30-year-old Ramos has built a reputation as a hardnosed boxer who doesn’t back down from a fight and gives as good as he gets. He turned the tables on Omar Figueroa, Jr. when he went toe-to-toe and forced Figueroa to quit on his stool in his last fight on May 1. He also owns a split decision defeat to welterweight world champion Yordenis Ugas and showed a flair for the dramatic when he scored a TKO victory over Bryant Perrella in the waning seconds of their fight in 2020.
The 24-year-old Santamaría (12-2-1, 7 KOs) steps into the ring after earning a unanimous decision over former two-division champion Devon Alexander last August. Santamaria had previously dropped a decision to top prospect Paul Kroll in October 2020, following an August 2020 triumph over veteran contender Mykal Fox that saw him drop Fox in round one of their battle. The Garden Grove, California native also owns a decision over Willie Jones and a split draw against Marquis Taylor in his 2019 contests. Santamaría was unbeaten in 10 fights since his first loss before facing Kroll, with his only other defeat coming via a four-round decision in his third pro bout in 2015.
Known for his action packed style, Karl (19-3, 12 KOs) bounced back from a 2020 defeat to former world champion Mario Barrios in August, as he bested Edgar Ramirez by unanimous decision in their eight-round bout. The 30-year-old Milano, Texas native has won four of his last five fights overall and owns a decision victory over Kareem Martin on top of a knockout over Kevin Watts to avenge one of his losses.
The 22-year-old Juarez (12-1, 5 KOs) returned to the win column in September, dropping Jairo Lopez on his way to a unanimous decision victory. Juarez bounced back after losing a narrow majority decision to All Rivera in a thrilling bout in June 2021. A native of Brownsville, Texas, Juarez was a standout amateur who made waves outside of the ring by dedicating himself to giving back to the state’s youth through motivational speaking and received recognition from the Texas State Senate and the Texas House of Representatives for his efforts.
In non-televised action unbeaten super lightweights Kent Cruz (16-0-1, 10 KOs) and Enriko Gogokhia (13-0, 8 KOs) meet in an eight-round duel, lightweight prospect Anthony Cuba (2-0-1, 1 KO) takes on fellow unbeaten Jose Gonzalez (3-0, 3 KOs) in a six-round bout and unbeaten welterweight John Rincon (5-0, 2 KOs) competes in a six-round attraction.
Rounding out the lineup will be the sons of former two-time world champion Fernando Vargas entering the ring, as Fernando Vargas Jr. (4-0, 4 KOs) steps in for a middleweight duel, while Amado Vargas (3-0, 2 KOs) competes in a four-round featherweight bout.

FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View Headlined By Showdown Between Former Champions Keith Thurman & Mario Barrios
Rising unbeaten star Jesús “Mono” Ramos will take on super welterweight contender Vladimir Hernandez in a 10-round showdown on the undercard of the FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View event on Saturday, February 5 from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay.
Josesito Lopez was injured in training and forced to withdraw from his bout against Abel Ramos in a pay-per-view attraction. Jesús Ramos vs. Hernandez replaces the Abel Ramos vs. Josesito Lopez bout on the pay-per-view lineup.
The FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View event begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and is headlined by former unified welterweight world champion Keith “One Time’’ Thurman battling former super lightweight world champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios, and also features four-division world champion Leo “El Terremoto’’ Santa Cruz taking on Keenan “Bedo’’ Carbajal in the co-main event. Plus, two-division champion Luis Nery will battle unbeaten Carlos Castro in the 10-round pay-per-view opener.
Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions, are on sale now and are available at axs.com.
Ramos (17-0, 14 KOs), the nephew of welterweight contender Abel Ramos, has paved his way to stardom with highlight-reel KOs, but has shown his ability to outbox opponents in his last two fights. After winning a unanimous decision over Javier Molina in May 2021, Ramos most recently dominated Brian Mendoza en route to another unanimous decision in September on FOX. Prior to those fights, the 20-year-old southpaw had scored five-straight knockout victories.
The 32-year-old Hernandez (13-4, 6 KOs) has revitalized his career during his current three-fight winning streak, most recently earning a split-decision over former unified champion Julian Williams in an October 2021 action fight. Hernandez’s previous outing had seen him upset longtime contender Alfredo Angulo in August 2020, with a July 2020 decision over Aaron Coley kicking off the run. Originally from Durango, Mexico, Hernandez now fights out of Stockton, California as he looks to spring another upset on February 5.
Mario Barrios training camp quotes for Feb.5th fight with Keith Thurman
Former super lightweight world champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios shared insights into his training camp and discussed making his welterweight debut before he squares off against former unified welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman on Saturday, February 5 in the FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View main event from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
The pay-per-view telecast will begin at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and also features four-division champion Leo “El Terremoto” Santa Cruz dueling Keenan “Bedo” Carbajal in the co-main event of the four-fight lineup.
Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions, are on sale now and are available at axs.com.
The 26-year-old Barrios (26-1, 17 KOs) will make his welterweight debut following an impressive run at super lightweight that saw him capture the WBA world title and win his first nine fights in the division, including eight by knockout. Barrios lost the title to three-division champion Gervonta Davis in June in an exciting action fight on pay-per-view.
On his recent training camp:
“I’m having an incredible training camp. I’ve stayed in shape since my last fight and headed to the Bay Area to start camp with Virgil Hunter about three weeks ago. I’ve now moved camp to Las Vegas where I’ll finish off that last couple of weeks until the fight. My sparring has gotten me into the perfect condition and I know that I’ll be ready for war come fight night.”
On his upcoming matchup with Keith Thurman:
“Although Thurman has been out of the ring for a couple of years, I know he’s been training hard for this fight and will be in great shape. He’s been one of the best fighters of our era and I expect him to be at his very best. I know what needs to be done on my end and I believe I can execute the game plan we have in place. We both like to let our hands go, so fans can definitely expect to see an explosive fight on February 5.”
On moving up to the welterweight division:
“Making the move to welterweight is going to be very important for me at this stage in my career. I’ve grown into my man strength, and it has been difficult making 140 pounds for these last few years. The extra seven pounds is going to make a tremendous difference in my weight cut, because I’m still big for this weight as well. In this fight we’re going to see if my power comes up with me. I’m confident that it will.”
On fighting on FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View:
“I’m grateful to my whole team for giving me this opportunity to fight on pay-per-view once again. I think I’ve proven myself to the fans that I’m a warrior in the ring who will always give a great performance. This fight will be no different, as I’m going into the ring to lay punishment on my opponent. Everyone should order this fight now, because I don’t think this one is going the distance.”

Is this getting much publicity in the US? Based on social it doesn’t feel anything like a normal PPV - just a standard show.

This fight interests me, but I flatly-refuse to pay to watch it.
I’ll probably catch the highlights on YouTube the following day.
In regards to the round-by-round thread covering this bout, I suspect most of the people contributing to it will be using some sort of dodgy stream to watch the fight.

Re: Keith Thurman vs. Mario Barrios | FOX PPV - February 5, 2022
Whenever people weigh in 145.5 ish it confuses me. Is he really under 147? or did he acedently cut 1.5lbs too much. I guess it dosent matter if you are only cutting a bit of weight, but geeze i dont wanna cut a pound and a half i dont have to, its not exactly plesent.

They will likely put the whole thing on YouTube at some stage, that's the only I'm going to bother with it. Even Leo is in a crap fight I can't be bothered with.

still fancy thurman for this fight. i can tell thurman is a tough man mean he is from poor up bringins when it gets tough he will be there barrios is willing to take to many shots for my liking especially against bangers like thurman is dangerous the reason i still edging thurman , i think keith will still get a chance late on to win with a ko

Keith Thurman has never really been the same since, he had surgery on his right elbow. Guy just does enough to keep getting paid, so even if he is an annoying know it all can't fault some one with going to work and getting paid.
This long layoff may give Barrios a shot here, unless Barrios heart isn't really in the fight..

yea i agree thurman looked disintersted, but i think barrios is here to be hit , should be a good scrap as i think barrios will come at keith, and i do belive thurman will stand and trade should be good i reckon best thurman fight for entertaiment not saying he will winvictor-romeo wrote: ↑05 Feb 2022, 15:59 Keith Thurman has never really been the same since, he had surgery on his right elbow.

After a long layoff I must say that Keith Thurman delivered last night. He looked fantastic.
Mario Barrios is a warrior that never stopped coming forward.. I felt that the entire card was very entertaining and dare I say .... PPV worthy.
