Campbell arguably beat Linares who was P4P it was a close fight there is a reason Ryan didnt get him after they saw what he did to Morales Oscar said he not ready
Idiot it was Linares who declined the Ryan fight and instead went with the sloppy Fortuna he knew that left was gonna chin check him.
Happy he's gone this route, far more credible for him. There's a good chance this will go to the cards, just hope there's no controversy with the scoring.
"Fortuna is already the mandatory challenger and was under the impression that a win over Linares will lead to a straightaway shot at Haney. The Dominican southpaw was originally ordered to face Campbell for the interim title before changing plans to instead face Linares.
Language from the WBC suggests that the winner of García-Campbell would be first in line for a shot at the real crown."
This is a solid move for Garcia, sucks for Fortuna!
I will believe it once I hear about a contract signed. Mikey Garcia and Jorge Linares couldn't come to a financial agreement even though the WBC ordered them to fight.
Yes, signed contracts will make it more likely to actually go ahead but at least Garcia has made the initial move in that direction.
There's a lot can happen before that translates to an actual fight though.
