Jorge Linares moving up to lightweight?

he can win all 3 if he can stay on the outside, which IMO he's capable of doing.

 

Who knows?

This guy was highly regarded a couple of years ago. Talk of him being the next Oscar.

Now he might not be even given a chance against 4 of todays top LWs. Man boxing can change very fast.

 

He gets KO'd by his fellow Venezualan. :smoke

 

I like the way Linares puts his punches together. I give him a good chance at beating those guys mentioned, as long as he dosn't get lured into a brawl.

 

You crazy. Linares is the truth. Dude has everything in his toolbox to handle anyone in any division. Speed, beautiful footwork and so much finesse with every combo he throws.

 

Add Acosta to that list. He's going to splatter Rios in February and if the mooted fight with Linares happens he'll win that too.

 

:good Yeah. His chin is still in question, but his skills is on point.

 

I said he wasnt being given a chance on here. The forum.

I agree. he is very gifted but that inactivity and fighting basically in the middle of nowhere is not doing him any favors. He needs to get on HBO or Showtime and fight names or good fighters.

We very rarely hear anything on this kid. What the hell is he doing with his career!?
