On May 11, 2019, Barrios faced Juan Jose Velasco. Barrios got the KO win via a spectacular body shot in the second round.[3]
On September 28, 2019 he faced and defeated the unbeaten Batyr Akhmedov by unanimous decision to win the vacant WBA (Regular) super lightweight title in a tough contest in which Barrios dropped Akhmedov twice but took considerable punishment resulting in most of his face being swollen.[4]
