Did you know Mario Barrios and his older sister got taken away by child protective services when they were babies?
Both his sister and Barrios grew up with his grandmother after his dad and mother were incarcerated (Mother got exonerated).
Headline story was Mario Barrio’s father was abusive when he drank alcohol and the family were scared of him…
One of those times Mario Sr. took it out on Barrio’s one year old sister that was older than him.
She ended up passing away from a lacerated heart caused by an impact blow.
Her name was Esperanza, translates to Hope.
Both Barrios and his sister Selina started boxing as kids as an outlet for everything they were going through…
He described Selina, his older sister as the female Mike Tyson! She was a savage!
I grew up in an abusive home too and I was scared of my dad…
Barrios story hits close to home and I can’t help but to root for him tonight against Ryan Garcia!
Hope he wins!

My little heart ♥️ just melted!
I remember going to my first Canelo fight and crying because I never thought in a million years I would be able to attend a super fight, let alone a Canelo fight!
There are so many people and kids who will never have the opportunity to meet @canelo or go to his fights…
People automatically think occult, witchcraft, magic.
However, with God you never have to dabble in anything dark or try to manipulate energy.
Everything that happens is divine orchestration by God. God gave us free will to see if we will do right by Him.
I was also an altar server. I am Catholic, attend church, and appreciate the community!
However, everything has a limit, and I don’t believe in blindly following anything but God and the light.
I would do this as a defense mechanism.
It was the only way my parents would stop fighting.
I learned that by screaming and acting “crazy”, it impacted everything around me and would stop things…
As I got older, I had to learn how to not be this way, how to unlearn things, and how to control myself.
I use to have the biggest episodes myself when I was younger.
I would yell and scream and would feel like my world was crumbling down on me.
Anything can trigger things.
I didn’t know how to manage it.
No one around me knew how to manage me.
I scared everyone.
When you scare people, you feel like a monster.
You feel 100 times worse.
And no one ever knows how to handle ppl.
All it really takes is patience, empathy, and understanding.
“What’s going on with you?”
“Are you okay?”
“What’s making you feel this way?”
“How can we prevent this from happening again?”
“What can you do to control yourself?”
“what can I do to help you?”
