Confirmed: The World Boxing Association (AMB) has slapped Mario Barrios with an official suspension after explosive revelations of deception and collusion of referees that led to a controversial raffle against Manny Pacquiao. Neighborhoods is now being called for exhaustive investigation!
The boxing world is at all shock after the unprecedented decision of the World Boxing Association (AMB) to issue an immediate prohibition of the Welter Mario Barrios weight champion. The announcement occurred after the condemnatory evidence arose, exposing the alleged deception and collusion with the referee during the controversial tie of neighborhoods against the legendary Manny Pacquiao in his fight for the high -risk title last month. The fight, held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, was already wrapped in controversy due to the judges’ score card, but the new video and witness testimonies have painted an image of absolute manipulation, which leads to the call of neighborhoods for large -scale investigation.
The fight was announced as a shock of epochs: Pacquiao, the 45-year-old Filipino icon that made an offer of return for another title, against the 29-year-old neighborhoods, the Mexican-American slippery that defends his WAF Welter weight belt. From the opening bell, neighborhoods seemed dominant, landing acute combinations that made the crowd roar. But as the rounds advanced, the legendary foot game and Pacquiao’s counterweight turned the course, with many frontline observers scoring a clear victory for the eight division champion. However, the official result was a majority raffle, generating immediate outrage. Fans and analysts cried badly, pointing out suspicious moments in which referee Russell Mora seemed to intervene in favor of neighborhoods.
The smoker gun emerged this week when the audio and the improved video of the fight appeared on social networks. The recordings captured what seems to be communications prior to the fight between neighborhoods ‘Camp and Mora, discussing“ favorable calls ”in exchange for unleashed benefits. The video analysis revealed neighborhoods repeatedly using illegal wineries and low blows that were endless, while the legitimate counters of Pacquiao broke prematurely. “This is a misfortune for sport,” said Pacquiao promoter, Bob Arum, in a statement. “Manny deserved victory, and now we have evidence that it was stolen.” The AMB, acting quickly, suspended the neighborhood license and annulled its title, waiting for the investigation.
Barrios, who has a record of 28-1-1, vehemently denied the accusations at a press conference from his training camp in San Antonio. “All this is manufactured,” he insisted, his constant voice but eyes flashing. “I struggled with honor, and Pacquiao got the best of me that night. The referee did his job.” His team has hired the best legal advisors, promising to fight the prohibition in court. However, the evidence has influenced public opinion, with #banbarrios with a worldwide tendency in X and requests that ask for their permanent exclusion of boxing that accumulates more than one million signatures.
The scandal has broader implications for sport. The AMB faces scrutiny about its supervision, with calls to independent audits of all important fighting. Pacquiao, always the class act, expressed its disappointment but focused on the positive: “Boxing needs clean fights. I will continue to inspire the next generation.” While Barrios prepares for its audition, the Welter weight division hangs in the limbo, with internal challengers like Teofimo López looking at the unemployed throne. This saga underlines the fragility of boxing integrity, where a polluted raffle can break the legacies and trust. The research results could redefine responsibility in the ring, ensuring that justice prevails over collusion. For now, sweet science knows bitter, and fans await the coup of truth.
