WBA lightweight champion Jorge Linares commented on a possible fight against Ukrainian Vasily Lomachenko.
In his opinion, Lomachenko will not become a serious rival, after all, according to Linares, he likes to fight with southpaws.
"I do not care what kind of TV channel it is, I just want to fight him. Now it's about May 12 in New York, and I'm dreaming of holding a fight at Madison Square Garden.
It remains to decide the issue with the date and channel.
Lomachenko wants this, I want this, and this is what the promoters want. The problem is in the date. It all depends on how ready you are physically and mentally. I like to fight with southpaws, for me it's easy. I am sure that I will beat him. I've already beaten lefties before.. Why not do it this time? ", - quotes the words of Linares Boxing Scene. Recall that the battle between Linares and Lomachenko may take place on May 12.
