INSIDE THE RING: Mario Barrios to defend title on Netflix

Fight night is quickly approaching for San Antonio’s world champion Mario Barrios.

Barrios (29-2, 18 KOs) will face Abel Ramos (28-6-2, 22 KOs) on Friday, November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The 12-round bout, which can be seen live on Netflix, will be for Barrios’ WBC welterweight championship belt.

KSAT 12 Sports caught up with “El Azteca” earlier this week from this training camp in Las Vegas.

“I feel we’re right on track with where we want to be for this fight,” said Barrios. “I’m fighting Abel Ramos. He’s a veteran, he’s been in there with some of the best welterweights in the division. There hasn’t been a fight I’ve seen him in where he didn’t make it competitive and he has a chance to be a world champion come November 15th. I know he isn’t taking it lightly so I’m doing whatever I can to prepare myself for the best possible Abel that anyone has seen.”

The night will conclude with Jake Paul facing Mike Tyson in eight two-minute rounds, a fight that was rescheduled from the summer after Tyson suffered a health scare during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles in May.

You can see more with Mario Barrios Sunday during Instant Replay starting at 11 p.m.
