Marco Antonio Barrera refuses to hang them up

Top Rank's "Latin Fury 15" pay-per-view card on June 26 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, which will be formally announced Monday, includes a bit of a surprise: former three-division champion Marco Antonio Barrera, who faces a foe to be named in a 10-round lightweight fight. Barrera, recently released by Don King, is now working with Mexico's Fernando Beltran, Top Rank's close associate. Barrera's inclusion comes as a bit of a surprise given that he was so often on the other side from Top Rank and Beltran, including all three of his rancor-filled fights with rival Erik Morales. Barrera hasn't fought since a bloody five-round technical decision loss to Amir Khan in March 2009. "We got a call from Beltran to put Barrera on," Top Rank spokesman Lee Samuels said. "We think with his name, he'll be a powerful addition to the card. He really adds something." The main event features middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who will be trained by Freddie Roach, against John Duddy. Also, interim bantamweight titlist Eric Morel defends against Jorge Arce (who has a tuneup Saturday night on "Top Rank Live") and featherweight Salvador Sanchez, nephew of the Hall of Famer with the same name, faces a foe to be named.
