linares is the wbc 'champion in recess' (aka diamond belt). He got stripped for not being able to fight zlaticanin (broken hand), but retained the right to immediately fight for the belt once we was ready to do so. Then garcia went on to take the belt off zlaticanin.
So linares is actually garcia's mandatory if linares wants to exercise his right to fight for the belt.
Edit. But from what i understand crolla could have won the 'diamond belt' by beating linares, so i presume the diamond belt carries a right to fight for the regular belt and can be passed on by beating the previous diamond belt holder. But who knows with all these abc belts.......
my bad thanks for that information.... I hope that fight happens asap... Mikey said on esnews that golden boy wants to sign him long term so im guessing if he wants the linares fight he will have to sign with them long term....
