Not really
Tight defense, keep things long, and be effective on the counter.
11 fights into his pro run, it's pretty clear that Lomachenko's destructive power basically ended at 126 (he's a solid puncher at 130lbs, and likely an even lighter puncher at 135lbs), he can let a crowd sway him on what he wants to do, and most of his offensive success comes when he can wait his opponent into falling for one of his decoys yet stay open within his punching range.
It'll make for an ugly fight, and I have no idea if Linares has the skill or patience to do it, but Lomachenko can be stunk out of a fight, and there's a path to stinking out 7 runs from what I can see (and we still have no idea how well he takes a flush shot either)
