Brownsville favorite son Omar "El Relampago" Juarez is set to return to the ring on March 27th in Plant City, Florida, on a PROBOX TV card. The 24-year-old, who just became a father, will look to bounce back from the second controversial loss of his young and promising career. Last May the South Texan seemed to outwork and outland former two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy. However, the judges scored for Barthelemy. The 10-month layoff will be the longest of the Juarez's career. The Brownsville native will get a chance to get back in the win column against a formidable opponent in, Luis Hernandez, 23-4 (20), of Chihuahua, Mexico. Hernandez, a rugged and hard hitting veteran, is best known for fighting fellow 140-pound title contender Lindolfo Delgado.t
Delgado finished Hernandez in just four rounds. So this fight will be a good metric for the RGV native. If Juarez scores a dominant win or stoppage over Hernandez, like Delgado did, he will keep apce and stay relevant in the world title picture. Hernandez, has fought in Texas once before and was narrowly outpointed by Houston native Quinton Randall at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas. The bout will air live on the PROBOX TV app.
