Jorge Rodrigo "La Hiena (The Hyena)" Barrios (born August 1, 1976, Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina) is
a professional boxer in the junior lightweight (130 lb) division. His record is 47-3-1 (34 KOs). He is a
former WBO world junior-lightweight champion.

Barrios made his professional boxing debut on August 10, 1996 with a second-round knockout victory.
[1] Barrios accumulated a record of 14-0 before his first loss—a disqualification against César Emilio
Domine on December 20, 1997.[1]

After the disqualification loss, Barrios went on a 25-0-1-1 streak. Then, on August 9, 2003, Barrios
fought in a superfight against Acelino Freitas for the WBA and WBO 130 lb titles.[1] In the eighth round,
Freitas was hit while off balance for a knockdown. In the eleventh round, Freitas was knocked down by
a left-right combination and spit out his mouthpiece. As the bell rang at the end of the round, however,
Barrios was knocked down by a powerful right hand to the chin. Despite the 60-second break between
rounds, Freitas followed up early in the twelfth round with another knockdown of Barrios. A few
moments later, Barrios went to his knees and wobbled when he stood up, causing the referee to award
Freitas a TKO victory. The eleventh round won The Ring magazine's Round of the Year award.[2]

On April 8, 2005, Barrios fought against undefeated WBO junior lightweight champion Mike Anchondo.
Even though Anchondo weighed 4¾ lb over the weight limit, Barrios won the title and ended
Anchondo's unbeaten streak with a fourth-round TKO.[1]

Barrios' last title defense was against undefeated contender Janos Nagy on May 20, 2006. Barrios
ended the fight 49 seconds into the first round with a liver punch knockout.

At the weigh-in before his next scheduled defense—September 16, 2006 against undefeated Joan
Guzmán—Barrios was overweight, and so he was stripped of his title. Barrios then lost the fight by split
decision.

Barrios was scheduled to fight Juan Manuel Márquez (47-3-1 35 KOs) for the WBC Super
Featherweight Title on September 15, 2007. Barrios withdrew from the fight due to injury.

On September 6, 2008, Rocky Juarez, (27-4, 19 KO's) won by TKO at 2:55 in the 11th round of the 12-
rounder over Barrios, (47-3-1, 34 KO's).[3][4]
