Comments Thread For: Arum: No Problem in Making Lomachenko vs. Linares Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Jorge Linares defends his WBA lightweight title tomorrow night from the Forum in Inglewood, California, against Mercito Gesta in an HBO televised fight. In recent interviews, Linares has expressed heavy interest in colliding with two possible opponents - WBC champion Mikey Garcia and WBO super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko, who is moving up to 135-pounds in the near future.

It will be a great fight with too very skilled boxers.

Hope it happens.

"In talking with Vasyl and talking with Egis (Klimas) his manager, they don't want to take tune-ups at 135," said Arum. "They want to go against the best and the best at 135 - a least until (Ray) Beltran wins the title - is Lomachenko.

Is this supposed to say Linares?

Yes it is, this site constantly makes errors, there seems to be at least one or 2 in most articles. I'm beginning to think they're trolling at this point

This is exactly why I hate Arum and to a lesser extent the other promoters. Thats a fight we'd all love and hopefully the winner meets Mikey. Arum would only do business if he really thinks his fighter would win. Hopefully thats good news with Bud since Arum is confident in him also. No promoter should have a problem matching fighters.

Linares gives loma major problems at 135 and Linares is big

[Kcvtr81]

Linares is a big lightweight, that's a great fight make it happen Bob

Sounds promising : Ray Baltran can beat Paulus Moses next month, that will be a backup plan should Loma fail against Linares -- if Vasyl beats Jorge then we mostly see a unification with Raymundo ( WBA-WBO ), Linares also holds the Ring-mag belt, a whole lot of Money on the table ; maybe PPV.

I wanted to see Loma vs Berchelt first.
