    Arum said that he will talk to Akihiko Honda and then Golden Boy.

    Good! Loma can add another good name to his already impressive resume. Vasyl will school Linares and stop him by the 9th.

    When this fight is announced expect the haters to denigrate Linares and worship Garcia.

    Good fight the old dog has still got a few tricks up his sleeve at 85, love him or hate him hes still making some of the best matches in the sport after all these years.Loma is next level and should be to good but Linares is no scrub and will provide more challenge then his recent opposition.

    I think Linared will be hyped until maybe three days before the fight. At this point, he will suddenly become an average fighter. By the time Lomachenko schools him in every possible way, he will be labeled as a bum.

    It worked out that the Lipinets/Garcia fight was postponed due to the injury...that freed Up Linares to fight Loma. Good fight....hope it happens. Unfortunately I doubt Loma will be given too much credit should he win. They only fights that critics will give Loma credit for is if he faces Garcia or Crawford.

    Would like to see the fight but I doubt it gets made due to Linares' side being the impediment.

    Pretty obvious to anyone who follows boxing that Linares isn't a scrub :buenrollo:

    While it should be obvious if you read some of the **** posted on here about him its clear that isn't the case. If he was Australian Im sure you would be in the same camp as those denegrating Linares lol.

    Oscar will own the judges, referee, and boxing commission.................I wish the other champions at 130 would have fought Lomachenko, hate to see him move up again so soon........................from 126 to 135...............he will beat Linares, but Oscar will be bribing in his fishnets!

    He really isn't.
    Having said that a win over Linares would be extremely impressive from 126 to 135 schooling everyone along the way should be lauded for that.
    I think he struggles with Mikey though
