Early Jorge Linares Fights [watch here]

[Spiegelo]

Juarez definitely doesn't deserve most of the chances he's got, if he loses this one I think he should try working his way back into contention.

I think In-Jin Chi went into MMA so that won't happen.

Ahahaha MMA?! Are you serious? Oh well he'll be missed. Yeah man I thought Juarez was knocked out of the top 3 spot after Soto beat him in the title eliminator. Then Juarez goes on to get the title shot anyway, loses, rematches, gets shut out, then gets 2 more huge shots anyway. Everytime I see him, he's worse than before.

Yo, no lie, Linares is the ****! I love watchin' this kid fight and feel he's only gon get better from here on out.

Juarez just doesn't seem to have what it takes to make the next step.

Ah damn I was laughing at first, but then I read the reason and now it's just sad. He's going to get kneed into ******ation bro.. All for some pennies to feed the fam. Where the **** did he spend his money, he had to have some kinda financial momentum after his champ days and his war with morales. Oh well, it might be safer to be in MMA than on the Linares war path.

And I partially blame management for Juarez's lameness. He fought Zahir Raheem, and won! Oh **** good one, bad move to fight someone so awkward while young, but you actually beat him. Couple fights, then right onto soto... bad move. Too young. Soto beat him in a tough hard fought decision, time to take a breather. Right up against Barrera! Oh no, confidence is gettin taken by a geriatric, what to do, REMATCH!

He didn't have a big fight after Morales so it's not really surprising, those guys in the lower weight classes who don't get much attention don't get much money, with or without a title.

Juarez has been pretty stagnant since the second Barrera fight, he just doesn't seem to have that fire in him.

Too bad he wasn't born 3 years later. The smaller weight classes are definitely drawing a little more attention these days.

I remember when Marquez postponed the fight for hand injury, I read like 3 diff articles saying that he was ducking the 'dangerous youth' to secure his pacquiao fight. I was like what?! Marquez gets ducked, not the other way around! If anything Juarez should be thanking his lucky stars, cause if anyone is getting KOed it's clearly Juarez. Sure enough he spent the entire fight covering up trying not to get Laid out.

Chi was a good, solid fighter, he deserved better.

Yeah, no way was Marquez ducking Juarez, that hand was definitely injured. Juarez was pretty disappointing in that fight, maybe that cut had something to do with that.

I think he can beat Valero right now, I'm not really impressed by Valero and Linares' counterpunching and accuracy would give Valero a very tough time. Valero of course has tremendous power and I don't think Linares has the best of chins so Valero would have a punchers' chance.

I have only seen Linares in his one big performance, but there are people, whom I respect the opinion of, who have said this same thing. Actually it was that Linares would "KTFO of Gamboa and Valero today". Thems some bold statements, especially from very knowledgeable fans.
If he really is that good, right now, I cant wait to see what the future brings us.

Yeahhh maybe, but I dunno he seemed to have a slow start and never gained momentum. The cut definitely didn't help, it seems most young guys can't handle cuts well. Hell, Pac still seems to react very badly when he gets cut.
