WBO Latino junior middleweight champion Javier Maciel (27-3, 20KOs) returns to the ring on January 17th against Adonisio Francisco Reges (17-7, 11KOs) at the Centro de Educación Física in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. It will be Maciel's first fight since last October's twelve round split decision loss in a WBO final eliminator against Brian Rose in Sheffield. Maciel believes he was robbed of a victory in the contest.
