Jorge Barrios Returns To The Ring on August 8 in Cordova
By Mark Vester
Former champion Jorge Rodrigo "The Hyena" Barrios (47-4, 34KOs) returns to the ring on August 8 in Cardova, Argentina. The first ring appearance for Barrios in nearly a year. Barrios fought last September, losing by way of stoppage to Rocky Juarez. The fight was very close but Barrios suffered a very bad cut near his mouth and the ref was forced to stop the action in the eleventh.
The fight is also Barrios' first in Argentina in more than two years, last appearing in the home ring back in April 2007. The fight will be scheduled on HBO Plus with several outlets overseas carrying the card as well.
