What is Jorge Linares's problem?!?

Did he refuse a fight or something? Last I read, he was dealing with a severe shoulder injury which has taken around a year and some change to heal.

Watch his last two fights....

He hasn't looked nearly as impressive as to how he looked in the Larios fight. Linares is incredibly overrated here on boxingscene.

He has had injuries in the past year and his last fight was postponed because of Swine Flu, I hope to see him back in the ring soon. He's a good fighter.

I'm watching him fight Larios, and my god... he looks terrific.

So what does he do after he gets some good exposure to fans around the world?

Why, refuse to fight any fighter who has the possibility of being any good at all.

What is this guy's deal? The show he put on against Larios proves to me that he can easily compete at the top level of the sport, so... why is he so apprehensive to even try himself out against another good fighter?

It not him. Its his Japanese promoters. They basically refuse to let him on us tv for some reason.
