    Is Roach a 'good fit' for Linares?

    Given Linare's style and talent, do you think Roach is a good fit for Linares?

    Watching that fight again I really think Linares would be better off training with Nacho.

    Anyone agree here?

      Linares will never be great. he's come up short again. He just isn't destined for greatness. doesn't matter who is training him.

        Don't think so

            Linares was not trying to be slick during that fateful round. He was trading instead of boxing.

                Linares needed to back demarco up but couldn't. Linares legs were fading fast

                  Roach works well with Punchers ,not really with boxers. Nacho would be good for Linares. All Linares needed to beat Demarco was to learn to clinch and not trade. Boxers arent usually built like that to trade with punchers or brawlers.

                  Same shit happened to Andy Lee vs Brian Vera, Lee wanted to sit down and trade and got stopped but look what happened in the rematch when he didnt TRADE or EXCHANGE punches. He won. Same will happen if Linares get a rematch, if he doesnt trade and sticks to boxing then he wins.

                    this right here!! its the fighter's job to execute what the trainer have planned for him. It doesnt matter how good of a trainer u have, if u cant execute the game plan it wont do u any good.
