Croatia announces his match against Pereša in the Argentine media

Argentine portal MZL Deportes yesterday wrote about Francisco "Croata" Barrio, the Argentine-Croatian fighter with an address in Zagreb who fights for Final Fight Championship.


This interesting article headlined ”The fight is coming” announced Barrio's second match in the FFC ring this time against Patrick Peresa from Croatia.  Francisco Barrio was born in Buenos Aires but he moved with his parents to Croatia at the age of 6 and he lived there until he turned 17. Last year he moved back to Croatia and he lives in Zagreb where he trains with his coach Goran „Hambi“ Babic.


Barrio commented his match against Peresa…


„The preparations are going well. I've been preparing for this match for a long time, but the last two weeks will be hardest since I have to lose weight. It's very exhausting mentally“, said Croata and added: „While training in Zagreb I tremendously improved my punching techniques. So now I'm more oriented to punching and kicking, not only wrestling.“


When asked about Peresa he said: „Peresa is an attacker. He fought for very good promotions, he fought in the UK and he has much more experience than me. But I am focused and I will do my best to win this match. I am sure it will happen“.


So far Barrio does not have a single loss in his career. In his professional career Peresa scored 8 wins and 5 losses.
