Jorge Linares to fight in Mexico?

Two-division former world champion Jorge Linares could have his next fight in Mexico on May 28. Potential opponents for Linares include Willie Lemond English and Sergio Priotti for the a proposed lightweight ten-rounder, but apparently Golden Boy is also looking for other candidates. One source indicated that after the fight in Mexico, Linares could return in the U.S. against Juan “Baby Bull” Diaz, Michael Katsidis or maybe even WBA interim lightweight titleholder Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero.

That was after ya boy quit cuz he had a paper cut.

Looking ahead to the summer, it looks as though Golden Boy will be staging another pay-per-view card on July 30th, according to Schaefer. "That’s something which I’m going to be working on, as well," he said. "Erik Morales is going to be coming this week to Los Angeles; he’s going to be at the fights on Saturday night and we’ll be sitting down with him to see what’s next for him. But I’m pretty confident, as a matter of fact, that he’s going to be on that card."

That card, which will most likely land either in Los Angeles or Las Vegas, could feature the fourth chapter of one of the most heated rivalries this sport has ever seen.

"I read in the Mexican press that Marco Antonio Barrera is interested in a fight with Morales. So we might look at that," said Schaefer, who added that another possibility is a Morales rematch with Marcos Maidana.
