Rocky Juarez's manager, Shelly Finkel, advised BoxingScene.com that his fighter will take on former super featherweight champion Jorge Linares (28-1, 18KOs) on the HBO pay-per-view undercard to Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Juan Diaz on July 31 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
An interesting crossroads fight. Juarez (28-6-1, 20KOs) returns from a controversial technical decision loss to Jason Litzau in April. Linares is still trying to rebuild his career after last October's first round TKO loss to Juan Carlos Salgado.
