Linares going for WBA 130 belt! By Boxing Bob Newman On November 29, Promociones Y Eventos Istmo of Panama will present "Concentration of Power," a blockbuster 15 fight card. The event will be headlined by a contest for the vacant WBA super featherweight title between former WBC feather champ Jorge "El NiƱo de Oro" Linares of Venezuela and Whyber "Showtime" Garcia of Panama. Former champ Noel Arambulet will also appear on the card. this just shows what a big joke these organizations are when a guy with a record like Linares will be called by manny a "two division champion" and this without fighting anyone.
you dont have a problem that hes fighting a bum for a "title? hes fighting a guy that was koed in the first round by Valero for ****s sake. as for him fighting Soto i believe it when i see it.
can you believe that this guy will be called a two division champion by some with a record like that. he gets to fight for the vacant WBA 130 pound title without ever had a fight at that weight,i guess the only thing that matters to those crooks is that hes from Venezuela.
I can't believe it. I'm not saying Linares isn't taleneted but I just want to see him face a live body like Soto for starters.
