Hitchin’s is out.

I think it was to do with the IBF’s next day weight limit.

[gregregegg]

fornicate, hitchins canceled is bad. That fight was proper good.

These big cards, once they sel the tickets, and get the subs, I wonder if promoters ever say “hey, wanna pull out, I’ll still give you some decent cash and then we can main event you in a couple of months”

Ryan Garcia is putting in the work early, outlanding Mario Barrios 31-9 in power punches through three rounds according to CompuBox

[Glass Joe]

Barrios is rubbish even british level benn would have beaten him

[Glass Joe]

Hope Garcia doesn't fail a post fight test

Both poor main events either side of the pond

[handsofstone]

I had Garcia pitching a shut out, best I've seen him box over 12 rounds, I know Barrios is bang average and boxed like it as well but still impressive Garcia can dominate him, clipped him in the 1st with a right that dropped him and picked him off comfortably, his jab was effective, the left hooks and flurries as well but it was his right hand that impressed me most, was able to time Barrios with it all night, he boxed disciplined over the distance and he made it look easy

[Ruthless-RKO]

Per Team Hitchins: He was about 148 when he woke up, had some water and easily made the morning weigh-in. No issue. Went with the team for breakfast. Started throwing up within the next hour and vomited several times since. So fight is off.

If Keith Connolly was my manager, I'd be throwing up as well.

Garcia Doesn't Rate Barrios Victory As Best Performance

In arguably the most important fight of his career, Ryan Garcia turned in a dominant performance to beat Mario Barrios and become the WBC welterweight champion.

But was it his best performance? He says no. Garcia still holds his seventh-round knockout of Luke Campbell in high regard five years after their back-and-forth clash.

“I’m always going to love the Luke Campbell one,“ Garcia said during his post-fight press conference. “That's one that's always skipped in my heart that I had to fight through, got knocked down, was dazed, so that was always going to be up there for me. This (the Barrios victory) was my most mature performance, for sure.”

Garcia (25-2, 20 KOs, 1 NC) overcame a second-round knockdown to drop and stop the 2012 Olympic gold medalist with a left hook to the liver in 2021. He didn’t face such adversity against Barrios (29-3-2, 18 KOs), as he won a one-sided unanimous decision in the main event of “The Ring: High Stakes” on DAZN PPV at T-Mobile Arena to become a world champion for the first time in his career. The win was also Garcia’s first since 2023.



Garcia hit the ground running, dropping Barrios 23 seconds into the fight with an overhand right. His advantages in speed and power were immediately evident and became the theme of the fight, as he consistently landed flush shots.

The 27-year-old from California rocked Barrios twice in the fifth round, but couldn’t find the fight-ending blow. Garcia said he hurt his right hand in the sixth or seventh round, but still managed to outbox the 30-year-old San Antonio native down the stretch and coasted to the final bell.

“My speed was on point,” Garcia said. “My jab was on point. A lot of things were on point. I pretty much did what I was doing in camp to everybody. I realized that I'm really faster than everybody.

“‘Why am I even moving? I can stay right there [and] counter. Why do I need to move? I'm quick.’ When I'm in shape and on fire, I'm really quick.”

Garcia outlanded Barrios 185 to 106 in total punches and 103 to 43 in power shots, according to CompuBox. He won by scores of 120-107, 119-108 and 118-109.
