Polish up that belt for my boy Linares.

that's wise

Haymon told him it's too crowded in 140 with his clientele at the moment doe.

[Tyler_Durden]

I was looking forward to him moving up to 140, I hope he only sticks around at 135 to fight Linares right away and then moves forward with his plan to go to 140.

Haymon can make Linares fight for the 135 title at 140, no problem.

[HanzGruber]

He's a knockout waiting to happen

[PittyPat]

Just a thought: Not that he's done anything lately to warrant a title shot, and because he's my boy and all, but wouldn't Katsidis-Figueroa be fucking sick?

Awwwwm damn!! I was really looking forward to his Jr WW run!

Oh well, 135 has some good matchups for him atm so looking forward to it!
