Jorge Linares is not going to just leave Vasilii Lomachenko defeated.
Jorge Linares sent Vasily Lomachenko to his first knockdown in a career, but lost the fight by TKO in the 10th round.
Linares still leaves no hope of revenge against the Ukrainian, and also wants to fight with another top division boxer, Mikey Garcia.
"I can not stop thinking about the battles with Lomachenko and Garcia, these are two very interesting duel. For me it makes sense again to sink into a light weight just for the fight with Loma. If you do not manage to organize a fight, then I'll stay in the junior welterweight ", - quotes Linares the publication of Boxing Scene.
"As for Garcia, he wanted to rise at light welterweight. There we can fight with him. "
After losing from Lomachenko Linares decided to rise to the first welterweight, where he already planned a fight with Abner Cotto.
"I took a step forward to new opportunities. We want to get right to the next weight. Until the battle was only a week, and my goal would be to give the audience a show. Cotto has two legs and hands, like mine, so I prepare for him as a world champion. "
The battle of Linares with Cotto will be held September 29 in Indio, California, and for his sake the Venezuelan will rise to the first light welterweight. This will be the fifth weight class in his career.
