    Rocky Juarez was hoping to face WBA featherweight champ Chris John, but will now face the hard-punching former champion Jorge Barrios. The fight will take place on the undercard to Juan Diaz vs. Michael Katsidis at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. HBO will televise both fights live on their "Boxing After Dark" telecast on September 6. A press conference has been scheduled by Golden Boy Promotions to announce both fights.

    -----------------------

    Good news. I think is a great clash of styles. What annoys me about Rocky, is that he doesn't let his hands go enough. But I think Barrios will force him to fight. Looking forward to this card a lot.

    :bbb

    Wow, this should be the main event. Hopefully it's true. An even fight as long as Barrios isn't too drained. It will be interesting to see how Juarez reacts when fighting in a complete war like this.

    I pick Rocky over Barrios. Their gonna fight inside, Juarez is a very good inside fighter. He nearly beat MAB at that game and MAB is no slouch when it comes to bodypunching. Juarez punches are more compact and that'll be the difference, hes also alot faster. Juarez may beat Barrios worse than Guzman did.

    This is a great card. Now if only they could put all the LW showdowns this year on one card :D
