By Rick Reeno &�Michael Campbell

BoxingScene.com was informed that Jorge Barrios (47-3-1, 34 KOs) hit the scales earlier today and�was�heavier than his team�had anticipated.�Due to fears that he may not be able to�make the 130-pound limit�for Saturday's�bout�against Rocky Juarez (27-4, 19 KOs), both sides have�reached an agreement�to let Barrios weigh in on Friday at the limit of 133.

Barrios has to pay Juarez an undisclosed amount of money and he is not allowed to weigh above 133. Should Barrios weigh-in above 133, the fight could possibly be off. Juarez still plans to�weigh-in at 130. Barrios-Juarez takes place on the undercard to Juan Diaz-Michael Katsidis at the Toyota Center in�Houston, Texas. HBO will televise both fights.

Barrios weighed 134# today at 10am, weighin is at 1pm. If he does not make 130, he forfeits 50% of his purse to Juarez.
