    I did hear this somewhere too.
    Not good for Dib imo, Linares looks like the real deal.

    Billy Dib is not fighting Orlando Salido, the fight has been cancelled.
    Dib will fight Linares most likely on De La Hoya-Forbes HBO televised undercard.

    That's a hell of a step up! Hopefully he learns a lot from the loss.

    Good to see Dib getting a shot at the title but its a little to soon for him isnt it.

    Yeah i think the fight is slightly premature for Billy.
    I would have had him face 1 or 2 fringe type contenders instead of just Rogers Mtagwa.
    But yeah, Billy will give it his all & i will surely be watching intensely.

    Dib would not only get stopped, it would ruin his career so early. Cant see why they would want to rush him so early.
