Manny Pacquiao's back in the ring tonight. The 46-year-old legend faces WBC Welterweight World Champion Mario Barrios at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
PacMan's last fight was a loss to Yordenis Ugas in 2021. Now he's got a chance to become a world champion again. Barrios got the title when Terence Crawford gave it up in June 2022.
A lot of people want to know if Pacquiao's still got what it takes. They're looking at his punches, how fast he moves, and if he can still dodge attacks like he used to.
Pacquiao's facing a guy 16 years younger than him. He's already the oldest 147lbs world champion ever. If he wins, he might keep fighting.
Teofimo Lopez, a two-weight world champion, has been in Pacquiao's camp. He told ES News:
"It's Manny's world, we're just living in it. He's really fast, man. The videos are not sped up. He's not human. Not at all. Eight different divisions. I'm looking forward to seeing the type of Manny that I've seen already in [camp.] I can't wait to see it tomorrow night."
Lopez thinks Pacquiao's going to win and become world champion again.
The fight's part of a four-fight card on Prime Video pay-per-view. We'll see if Pacquiao can prove he's still got it.
