Jorge Linares ranks among the most intriguing pugilists of the dynamic boxing era. Right from his debut until today, the Venezuelan boxer has stayed on top with his game plan and strategy.
Moreover, he’s one solid technician who decodes his opponents pretty well, and subsequently gives them a beating of their lives. But how is Linares successful in a huge chunk of his fights? Who trains ‘El Nino de Oro’ and helps him get in his finest form?
Linares was a stern disciple of Ismael Salas. The pair shared a powerful bond with each other, and they even took up numerous fights, thus emerging victorious in most of those. However, ahead of Linares’ encounter with Vasyl Lomachenko in 2018, the pair parted ways with each other.

But Linares hasn’t let the same hamper his training. His elder brother Carlos Linares, who was also a boxer, now trains him and makes steady adjustments to his game plan.
Linares made his first professional ring walk in 2002, and ever since then, he never looked back. Over the course of time, his head trainers might have definitely changed but his intent to be the best in the game has always been paramount.
