Lightweight champion Jorge Linares believes that he has everything to beat the two-time Olympic champion and world champion in the super featherweight division Vasyl Lomachenko in their meeting on May 12 in New York at the arena of Madison Square Garden.
"Every day, we are increasingly improving our strategy for the fight, which will help us to defeat Vasyl Lomachenko. He is a very good, fast and accurate boxer. He has many strong qualities, but in the world there is no such thing as an ideal boxer. As I always said, if someone has already beaten someone, why can't I beat him this time? "Linares said.
"I lost three times, but every time I got up and took myself in hand. For today, I have held seven or eight defenses of the title. The bottom line is to train hard and put everything to the test. Now I train two or even three times more than before the fight against Mercito Gesta, because I have long dreamed about this fight. Why should I lose now, when I have all the qualities in order to beat Lomachenko?" added Linares.
