Olympic Medalist Eumir Marcial and Rising Prospects Highlight July 19 Pacquiao vs. Barrios Undercard

A strong lineup of international talent and undefeated prospects will fill the non-televised undercard ahead of the PBC Pay-Per-View event headlined by boxing legend Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao vs. WBC Welterweight World Champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios on Saturday, July 19, from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Non-Televised Highlights

Eumir Marcial (5-0, 3 KOs), a Filipino Olympic bronze medalist and two-time Olympian, will face Bernard Joseph (11-2-1, 5 KOs) in an eight-round welterweight bout. Marcial, who also holds a silver medal from the 2019 World Championships, is coming off two consecutive knockout victories. Joseph, from Dorchester, Massachusetts, is looking to bounce back after a close majority decision loss in June.

Omar Salcido (20-2, 14 KOs), a hard-hitting contender originally from Hermosillo, Mexico, returns to action in a super lightweight matchup against Brian Gallegos (8-1, 6 KOs). Salcido earned a career-defining knockout over Chris Colbert in October 2024 and held his own in a tough January bout with Andy Cruz. Gallegos, now fighting out of North Las Vegas, has won six straight since suffering a narrow loss in 2018.

Jursly Vargas (5-0, 4 KOs) will meet fellow undefeated lightweight Sergio Aldana (4-0, 1 KO) in a six-round bout.

Joseph Brown (5-0, 4 KOs) will take on Aaron Watson (2-0-1, 1 KO) in a four-round super welterweight contest between unbeaten prospects.
