Comments Thread For: Linares Tests Positive For COVID-19 Ahead Of Scheduled Aug. 28 Clash With Fortuna

[Cypocryphy]

I'm pretty sure Linares is still on for the fight. They'll test him again, so it's still premature to find Fortuna another opponent.

Haney's going to fight Gamboa. I doubt he's going to want to fight someone else. I think this is to have a compare/contrast fight to show that Haney is better than Tank.

They want a safe fight for Haney and a way to elevate him above some of his competitors

I hope Linares doesn't test positive again. Maybe it's a false positive because he has no symptoms.

It's off, they're looking for someone to replace Linares now. Probably be Gesta or somethin'.

Damn. That sucks. That was another fight to which I was looking forward. We're losing some of these competitive fights here.

Corona is a massive X factor. I imagine there will be more cards impacted, like Spence & Garcia, Charlo & Derevyanchenko, etc.

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that no more good fights are ruined.

You have Hector Tanajara vs Gesta that was called because of food poisoning. Why not put either in with Fortuna? Then have Linares fight Ryan Garcia once he's no longer positive which is what they planed pre-coronavirus. Ryan Garcia and Campbell hasn't been signed yet been difficult to negotiate. Linares beat Campbell it's a better fight should be easier to make since both with Golden Boy. Campbell can fight Haney both signed with Matchroom. Everybody wins including DAZN because these are better fights then

Linares vs Fortuna Aug
Haney vs Gamboa Sept
Garcia vs Campbell Oct

you could easily make

Tanajara vs Fortuna Aug
Haney vs Campbell Sept
Garcia vs Linares Oct

I don’t know about this news though. It could be DAZN and GBP planning to put Linares for September.

Im being told that Hector Tanajara is absolutely interested in facing Javier Fortuna on August 28. That's a solid replacement..... #boxing

This was Linares a day ago or so:
