Former junior lightweight titleholder Jorge Barrios rebounded from inactivity stemming from his part in a fatal automobile accident by out-classing journeyman Wilson Alcorro over 10 rounds on Friday in his native Argentina.

Barrios (50-4-1, 35 KOs) hadn't fought since last November due to legal issues stemming a January car crash that caused the death of a 20-year-old pregnant woman. The 34-year-old veteran, who was eventually absolved of any wrong doing in the accident, did not appear rusty as he out-boxed and out-worked Alcorro (26-13-3, 17 KOs) in a Telefutura and HBO Plus-televised main event in Corrientes.

In the co-featured bout, Argentine welterweight veteran Hector David Saldivia (38-2, 28 KOs) knocked out Brazilian prospect Jailton De Jesus Souza (12-2, 10 KOs) in the third round of their scheduled 10-round bout.
