Jorge Barrios vs. Rocky Juarez: May 31

hmmm good enough to buy if that's the case

Oh shit, Jorge Barrios? That guy still boxes? Where'd he go? Completely forgot about him. I thought he was moving up to 135lb division. There's apparently more money in signing for bouts at 130 and just not making the weight. LOLOLOLOL Mike www.TheKnockoutNetwork.com Check out the Knockout Blog for Updated Boxing News

is barrios gonna chop an arm to make 130???...... i love that bastard, but he should consider fighting at 135... and rocky should go back to feather....i say he blitzez the guerrero-litzau winner...

Sounds like they're keeping both options open for as long as possible. Thanks Mike. I think both dates were certainly in play. But I was told by someone in the know this morning that the date was May 31. So I posted in on the Blog and on some Forums. Eric Gomez from Golden Boy will be on the show this Sunday. If there is not an official announcement by then - I'll beat it out of him on the show. LOL Mike www.TheKnockoutNetwork.com Check out the Knockout Blog for Updated Boxing News

i dont like jorge barrios's face.

Should be a very good fight, Juarez should have gotten a draw at least against barrera the first time...then the second fight Barrera went into safe mode and out boxed him....against Marquez he had no chance, but you have to give him props for fighting everyone, including Soto...but after the Barrera fights Rocky hasnt looked impressive.

Scott I couldnt figure it out myself. Gary Shaw told us on the show last week that James Kirkland-Eromosele Albert was on HBO May 17 and he kept sticking to his guns. I kept asking my buddies over at Golden Boy about the conflicting schedules and they were holding strong that it was either the 17th or the 31st but the 17th was the most likely. But thenI was told this morning that Rocky Juarez was fighting Jorge Barrios on May 31 at (I think) Mandalay Bay in Vegas and it would the co-feature underneath Mosley-Judah.

B-talk.com claimed it was May 17, but I guess I should consider the source. BTW, is our Katsidis-Casamayor bet still on? I don't see it in your sig anymore. Scott I couldnt figure it out myself.

no, its for may 31 Golden Boy said the date would be May 17.

The only reason juarez has a chance is cuase barrios hasnt faught in a long time... But i still think juarez is going to lose. It might be a great fight tho if juarez picks up his work rate.. If barrios wins Juarez wont give no credit to him.. He's a sore loser:damnit:

I like juarez because well being from Houston gotta represent. I think he has what it takes but I dont thinks hes motivited enough to do what it takes. I also think hes in a tough division. I really hope he gets in gear and makes something happen for himself.

noice, always been a fan of juarez. i got him on the fight.

Yeah you have to give it to Juarez for taking tough fights, but it hasn't worked out for him. I wonder if he could go down to FW because I felt like that's where he was most effective.

This will be on the Shane Mosley-Zab Judah undercard in Vegas. Its 100% done for May 31. I love Juarez, always have. But I said it to the person who told me about this fight - I don't know if he will ever get to the level that we thought he was going to be at when he turned pro. Another tough fight for him.
