WATCH: Oscar De La Hoya Gives Advice to Jorge Linares Ahead of His Fight with Devin Haney

Former world champion Jorge Linares appears ready to stun the world, and he has all the chances to do that. He will look to hand Devin ‘The Dream’ Haney his maiden professional boxing defeat and dethrone him from the summit of the lightweight division as the WBC champion.

That said, Linares’ promoter Oscar De La Hoya has rightly favored his man in the mix. Despite being the underdog, Linares has appeared confident throughout the fight week and a few final-moment pieces of advice from De La Hoya can come in handy inside the ring.

Before the lightweight title fight, ‘Golden Boy’ met his pugilist in the locker room and shared a few words. Here’s a look at their recent meeting.

Jorge Linares- Can he upset the odds?

47-5 as a professional, Linares holds almost two decades of experience under his name. He has been boxing since an early age and still has plenty of time to call off the career. So, Jorge Linares is still a top-tier name in the active lightweight roster.

Meanwhile, WBC champion Devin Haney has appeared flawless so far. Akin to Linares’ initial career, Haney has also remained unbeaten. Flaunting a record of 25-0, Haney is already regarded as one of the best boxers in the lightweight unit.

So several fans have envisioned him to add Linares to his list full of success. But that might not be the case. The 12-rounds main-event can either go to the distance or end in a flush. Both men are hard hitters and are technically sound. Hence, fans can predict to see an intriguing matchup happen between two elite lightweight pugilists.

The fight seems to be perfectly matched and both the contenders will have fair chances to win. Although Devin Haney looks favorable on the papers, Linares can chatter all the predictions and shock the world by becoming a world champion again.
