Jorge Barrios, former 130-pound champ, stabbed in Argentina

Jorge Barrios was stabbed repeatedly with a butcher’s knife during a New Year’s Eve party, according to reports. He is expected to recover.

Former junior lightweight champion Jorge Barrios was stabbed repeatedly with a butcher’s knife during a New Year’s Eve party, according to media reports in Cordoba, Argentina, where the attack happened.

Barrios, 43, is expected to recover, according to members of his family who were celebrating with him at the time of the assault.

Barrios was stabbed in an apparent robbery attempt, according to his sister Edith Barrios. She told Argentine media that his wallet and phone were stolen. A suspect identified as Ramon Enrique Icardo is in custody in Cordoba, which is about 430 miles west of Buenos Aires.

Barrios (53-4-1, 36 KOs) won a junior lightweight title in April 2005, stopping Mike Anchondo in Miami. He successfully defended it twice, then lost the belt in a split decision to Joan Guzman in September 2006 in Las Vegas.

Barrios last fought on Sept. 28, scoring a split decision over Diego Alberto Chaves. He has won three straight bouts in an attempted comeback. Barrios, nicknamed The Hyena, has had a troubled past. He was convicted of negligent homicide in 2014. He served 3½ years in prison.

Former Seahawk Terrelle Pryor hospitalized after stabbing

NFL free agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor was hospitalized after getting stabbed in the chest on Saturday morning in Pittsburgh.

Free agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, who spent time with the Seattle Seahawks back in 2014, was hospitalized and sent into emergency surgery on Saturday morning following a stabbing at his Pittsburgh apartment, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Follow-up reports indicated that Pryor’s surgery was successful and his condition was upgraded to stable, with family members confirming he is expected to make a full recovery.

The Pittsburgh Police department announced later in the afternoon that Pryor was arrested and charged with simple assault, and Shalaya Briston was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault and Criminal Attempted Homicide.

Pryor starred at Ohio State as a quarterback and ended up getting selected in the first round of the supplemental draft by the Oakland Raiders in 2011.

His career as a quarterback fizzled out however, and the Seahawks traded a seventh round pick for him in 2014. He was waived before the season began, and eventually made the transition to wide receiver where he starred for the Browns and Redskins.

He remains unsigned after hauling in 16 receptions for 252 yards and two touchdowns in 2018, split between the Bills and the Jets.
