Former WBA super lightweight champion Mario Barrios wanted to make a statement in the 147-pound class Saturday night in his first fight since stopping Jovanie Santiago in February.
It was Barrios’ second straight win since being mired in a two-fight losing streak to Gervonta Davis and Keith Thurman.
What Crawford and the rest of the crowd witnessed was the tactician in Barrios taking Ugás apart round by round, knocking him down twice and shutting his surgically repaired right eye. Ugás, who was making his return after a 17-month absence and was listed as a -250 favorite at FanDuel just before the fight, fell to 27-6 in his career.
“It wasn’t about his eye, we’ve just been drilling using my jab more,” Barrios said. “I have the size advantage against most of the dudes I fight. I listened to my corner and tried to time the jab.” The boos grew louder when ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. announced a unanimous decision in favor of Lubin , who handed Ramos the first defeat of his career.
