Linares fires roach

Just like he did wonders for Oscar and Angulo? Why do you want this poor kid to get knocked out again?

 

No one could help ODLH at that stage. I don't know how long Angulo was with Nacho, but it surely didn't help any because Angulo is not a boxer. He's a brawler/puncher with some decent boxing skills.

Linares is more a Nacho type fighter. He's a classic boxer type fighter with smooth skills that can only get even more refined by Nacho. Plus, Nacho can communicate effectively without someone trying to translate what he is trying to say during a fight. Last of all, Linares has NOTHING to lose at this point.

 

It seems to me that Nacho is good aat teaching fighters from a young age. He seems like a task master, that wants everything done his way. It's hard to really change a fighter as old as Linares. Not many trainers excel at reclamation projects.

 

I want to see him with Roger Mayweather. Just for the fact that Roger will tell him that

"This mother****er has never seen anyone like you before" :rofl

 

But you have to admit that the style he has already developed fits into the mold one would guess Nacho wants for him. Textbook combinations, good movement, perfect balance, a tight defense, control of distance, etc. Linares has lots of good skills that could take him far if they are properly developed into a more functional, responsible style.
