Richard Abril vs. Jorge Linares?

chiguy91

just thought about it. all of linares' losses have come by way of mexicans who can pack a punch. perhaps a more technical cuban would be a good fight for him to have. some would say his most recent defeat was stopped a bit prematurely. i never got or saw a shot of how bad it was but it is what it is. how would this fight go in your opinion? who takes it?

Linares is way too sexy to fight ugly ass Abril

but if he does Linares beats him IMO..... but I'm biased. I'm a Linares fan

Not a bad fight, but that means TR vs GBP which isn't gonna happen. I'd like to Abril-Vazquez on an undercard. Might not be action packed, but that'd good fight to stake claim as the best LW with Rios and Marquez leaving. I think Linares needs some confidence builders with his new trainer if he gets one or if he stays with Roach.

I think Linares has lost a step, not sure he has many big wins left.

yeah, i thought about that but i figured i'd make it anyway. just to see what people say or think about this matchup. i'm not sure about the confidence builders, i remember reading a tweet he wrote that night that someone posted on here. it seemed like he wanted to apologize for what happened and claimed the cut was caused by a headbutt. seems like he just brushed off the loss and is now looking forward. but yeah, a couple light fights for him and then this matchup would be good, if the gbp/top rank feud doesn't prevent it.
vazquez/abril is a better matchup, didn't even think about that. good stuff man, i'd love to see that.

Linares would win IMO

That would be a great technical fight, I'd favor Linares but Abril would give him a lot of problems.

Linaries bleeds like hemophliac with paper cut. Obvious stoppage for excessive bleeding
