In a week full of shocking headlines and high-stakes developments, two major stories have captured the boxing world’s attention: Manny Pacquiao’s potential ability to knock out Mario Barrios, and the surprising news that Ryan Garcia has undergone hand surgery. Here’s the full breakdown of both explosive updates:

Pacquiao Kaya ITUMBA Si Barrios?

Rumors have been swirling after footage leaked of Manny Pacquiao’s recent training sessions. The 8-division world champion, despite being well into his 40s, is showing frightening speed, footwork, and power — prompting many to ask: Could he knock out Mario Barrios if they ever met in the ring?

 What the Training Shows

In recent pad work and heavy bag videos, Pacquiao looks sharp, explosive, and aggressive — much like the vintage “Pacman” that terrorized boxing’s elite for over a decade. Observers noted:

Combination speed is still elite

Footwork is crisp and calculated

Power punches are landing with impact

Experts and fans alike believe that if Pacquiao brings this form into a real fight, he could realistically stop Barrios — especially if the younger fighter gets too comfortable or underestimates the legend’s timing and experience.

“If they meet at 147 or catchweight, Pacquiao might just have enough left in the tank to hurt him,” one boxing analyst commented.

Ryan Garcia NAOPERAHAN ANG KAMAY

In other news, Ryan Garcia has officially undergone surgery on his right hand, an injury that has been bothering him for months. After his recent legal troubles and controversial behavior inside and outside the ring, this medical update adds another twist to Garcia’s chaotic 2024.

What Happened?

According to his team, Garcia suffered a repetitive strain injury on his right hand, aggravated during training and sparring. The surgery was said to be minor but necessary.

Surgery completed in Los Angeles

Expected recovery time: 6–8 weeks

No immediate return date set

Ryan Garcia took to social media, posting a photo of his bandaged hand with the caption:

“Back soon. Just a bump in the road.”

What’s Next?

For Pacquiao: Could a fight against Mario Barrios realistically happen? Fans are now clamoring for a showdown, especially if Pacquiao is aiming for one final statement in the ring.

For Garcia: With the surgery now behind him, the young star needs to recover, regroup, and refocus. Many are hoping the time off will help him not just physically, but mentally as well.

Final Thoughts

Between Pacquiao’s possible return to high-level action and Garcia’s medical setback, this week has shown just how unpredictable boxing remains. Whether you’re cheering for the legend or watching the rise and fall of a new star, one thing is clear:

In boxing, anything can happen — and it usually does.
