Jorge Linares- Can he upset the odds?

47-5 as a professional, Linares holds almost two decades of experience under his name. Meanwhile, the 25-0 WBC champion Devin Haney has appeared flawless in his six-year career. ‘The Dream’ is already regarded as one of the best young boxers in the lightweight unit.

Given the 22-year-old’s position as the hungry champion, fans believe he will add Linares to his list of victims. However, it will not be so easy.

As both men are hard hitters and are technically sound, their bout can go the distance or end in the blink of an eye. Hence, fans can expect an intriguing matchup between the two elite lightweight pugilists.

It will be an equally matched battle, with both contenders having their fair chances to win. Although Devin Haney has an on-paper advantage, Linares can shock the world by becoming a world champion again.

Will Oscar De La Hoya’s advice prove useful? Let us know.
