Thread: Goldenboy Jorge Linares vs Arakawa is official!!

To those of yoos who arent familiar, arakawa is the one who went to war with figeuroa..

This is such a balsy move by linares because arakawa is exactly the type of fighter that he's lost to..

Thoughts!

Arakawa isnt that good. Pretty disappointed to be honest. Should be an entertaining fight but Linares should be able to outbox him easily. Quite disappointed with this card in general and cant see the PPV doing well.

Alavares Angulo looks a mismatch
Santa Cruz Mijares is a mismatch
Figuroa - Alvarez is a mismatch
Linares - Arakawa should be a mismatch
Molina - Charlo has Molina fighting, no more needs to be said

Agreed, that's a pretty horrendous PPV lineup, it should be on regular TV. Angulo-Alvarez or the Linares fight could end up being great, but on paper there is no real gain for the winner.

The most interesting fight could be Charlo stepping up to fight Molina, hoping he wins that. To be honest I could have him mixed up with his brother but whichever one looked pretty good to me. Molina is a terrible fighter to watch, so ugly.

I agree Arakawa isn't good but he's sturdy and relentless .. It's going to be interesting to see how Linares deal with his pressure.

I think Arawaka Linares will be the fight of the night. I'm hoping Angulo throws the punch of his life and sparks Alvarez though.

I think this is an extremely tough fight for Linares
