Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares-John Murray on The Amir Khan Undercard?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Venezuelan former champion Jorge Linares could have his first skirmish of this year in Manchester, England, as confirmed by his American promoter Golden Boy Promotions. The situation has not been fully confirmed as the main manager of the boxer, Japanese promoter Akihiko Honda, has yet to define the next steps of the boxer's career.

As soon as I saw the article, I thought: "THIS MATCHUP NEEDS TO GET MADE!". Can't see Linares going to the U.K. though. Perhaps a Vegas undercard is more likely, Murray would only be a draw in Manchester, and I can't see a network darling like Linares hopping across the pond. I wouldn't blame him either.

Elaborate more with the "network darling like Linares" statement please?

I like John Murray and imo he is world class but Linares isnt a winnable fight for him

[Chrismart]

Id like to see this fight. Murray needs to be fighting at a higher level than he is now, and has been talking about a big fight for awhile now.
I think fights against the Linares's ect may be to much for him, but for me hes a tough fighter and will give anyone a decent work-out.

Hopefully it gets the green-light.

Murray knows he is not good enough to beat Linares. That's why.
