Jorge Linares: The Venezuelan Golden Boy The Flawed But Dazzling El Niño Del Oro

Appreciation Thread
Jorge Luis Linares Palencia is a 31 year old 5'8.5 Lightweight with a 41-3 27 KO's record, all 3 losses by KO. Born in Barinas, Venezuela and fighting out of Tokyo, Japan. Trained by Freddie Roach Jorge is not only an incredibly entertaining fighter but also happens tone of the most skilled fighters in the sport, he has amazing punch placement beautiful combinations, very good footwork, brilliant overall technique and natural athleticism. However Jorge seems to have nothing but bad luck when fighting Mexicans, against all other ethnicities he fares pretty well. Although in my opinion his last two KO losses aren't as bad as many make them out to be, he was winning the match against DeMarco up until the unfortunate stoppage in the 11th, and even then he fought with one of the nastiest cuts I've ever seen, literally his nose looked like it was an open tin can and still he persevered and never went down. Then the subsequent cut stoppage against Sergio Thompson seemed to further seal his fate as a "loser", which to me was also unfair because that stoppage was ridiculously premature, he went down and got right back up, he wasn't very badly hurt. In spite of all of his bouts of very bad luck Jorge keeps coming back like a true Latino Warrior and never lets it get the best of him. So you be the judge is he a loser or not, I don't think so. I think Jorge still has what it takes to be a breakout star.
He's also a very good looking guy, and doesn't get credit for that either. No H***

Postscript: He proved me right.

I put a picture link in all these threads, I'm very secure in my s*xualitydeal

 

I expect Demarco to beat Vargas.
And if it happens Linares to beat Figueroa, although his chin worries me.

I'd like to see Demarco rematch Linares and Molina.

 

DeMarco didn't look great against Tyner, but Vargas has never impressed me, he barely beat Novikov, but Arum will make sure Jessie wins if its close.
