While waiting for an opponent to be announced, Barrios, headed to the San Francisco Bay Area to get some work in with lead cornerman, Bob Santos.

"Since I've been out here I've learned a lot working with Bob Santos," said Mario Barrios. "Santos has a lot of experience working with top level fighters and he's showing me new things to help me get better. There's a lot of little things that we've been working on that make a tremendous amount of difference when I'm in the ring. I'm using different footwork while improving on my defense, things like that."

Back in San Antonio, Barrios trains with his father Martin, who's been with him since the amateurs when he started boxing at age 9. They've come along way together and have a special bond.

"My dad has always been there for me," Barrios continued. "In addition to teaching me how to be a man, he taught me how to box and stay out of trouble. It's tough finding sparring sometimes, but he's always there to make the necessary sacrifices to get someone. He understands what it's going to take for me to take my career to the next level, and I appreciate him for that. Together we make a very strong team."

Barrios, who lives in nearby San Antonio, Texas, knows how important it will be to shine on national television. With a huge crowd expected to show support, Barrios is ready to his mark in the super-featherweight division.

"With this fight being shown on Fox Sports, I know it's my time to show everyone in my division, including those who will be watching on television, why I've worked so hard to get to this position." Mario Barrios concluded. "A lot of close friends and family will be there is show support, so I'm coming with everything I got. I don't care who the opponent is, I'll be ready to impress."
