Mario Barrios Looking for Sixth Straight Knockout

All eyes will be on Mario Barrios at the Staples Center on Saturday night as he looks to continue his incredible streak of five straight knockouts. His opponent Jose Roman comes in with an impressive set of stats himself, boasting a record of 24-2-1. Barrios has taken boxing by storm since his debut in 2013, and it was his powerful left uppercut on Claudio Rosendo Tapia in 2016 that first projected him into the boxing headlines.

Barrios No.4 in WBA rankings

Barrios is appearing on a prime-time Showtime card after climbing to No.4 in the WBA rankings as a result of his hot KO streak. This will be the first time that Barrios makes an appearance on the Championship Boxing show. He insists that he is comfortable on the big stage and his stats are a testament to that. He also explains that he does not always go out looking for a knockout but takes the opportunity if it comes along.

The Barrios-Roman fight is set to be an exciting one given the KO streak potential that could be continued in LA on Saturday.

Luis de Cubas Jr. expects this fight to lead onto much greater things for Barrios, with the ultimate goal of becoming the world champion. He is hoping that Barrios will get the chance of a world title fight next year, as Barrios looks to continue his astonishing journey.

Young star with an exciting future

At 23, he still has a lot of time on his side to go on and become a serious superstar in the world of boxing. You certainly would not bet against him racking up his sixth knock out at the Staples Center against 30-year-old Jose Roman.
