San Antonio’s Own Mario Barrios Goes the Distance in Las Vegas with Support from Legal Powerhouse Thomas J. Henry

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The MGM Grand Garden Arena pulsed with electricity as Mario “El Azteca” Barrios stepped into the ring this past Saturday for one of the most high-profile fights of his career versus Manny Pacquiao, and standing firmly in his corner was renowned attorney and philanthropist Thomas J. Henry, proudly returning as Team Barrios’ official sponsor.

The high-stakes bout, broadcast live around the world via Premier Boxing Champions Pay-Per-View on Prime Video, marked yet another momentous occasion in Barrios’ decorated career. With the bright lights of Las Vegas beaming down and millions watching globally, Barrios brought grit, heart, and determination to the ring - qualities that mirror the spirit of San Antonio itself.
