Former Champion Zab Judah Has No Doubt Who Wins Manny Pacquiao vs Mario Barrios Title Fight
Manny Pacquiao is two months away from making a shock return to the ring.
The 46-year-old from the Philippines will face reigning WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios on Saturday July 19 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
‘Pac-Man’ has not fought as a professional since he suffered the eighth defeat of his career at the hands of former WBA welterweight champion Yordenis Ugas back in June 2021, although he has had two exhibition contests against Rukiya Anpo and DK Yoo respectively.
The Filipino great has received mixed reactions from members of the boxing community after announcing his comeback, with many left wondering whether the 46-year-old made the decision purely for financial gain, or whether he is looking to further cement his outstanding legacy.
Speaking to ESNEWS, retired two-division world champion Zab Judah was asked to predict who he believes will prevail when Pacquiao locks horns with Barrios in just two months time.
“[Manny] Pacquiao.”
Pacquiao has linked back up with coach Freddie Roach ahead of his return, reigniting that famous partnership which originally lasted for 16 years and just over 30 fights.
The 46-year-old could break his own record of being the oldest world welterweight champion, having already achieved this feat back in 2019 when he defeated Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman to become the WBA welterweight champion at 40-years-old.
