Moreover, he’s one solid technician who decodes his opponents pretty well, and subsequently gives them a beating of their lives. But how is Linares successful in a huge chunk of his fights? Who trains ‘El Nino de Oro’ and helps him get in his finest form?

Linares was a stern disciple of Ismael Salas. The pair shared a powerful bond with each other, and they even took up numerous fights, thus emerging victorious in most of those. However, ahead of Linares’ encounter with Vasyl Lomachenko in 2018, the pair parted ways with each other.

But Linares hasn’t let the same hamper his training. His elder brother Carlos Linares, who was also a boxer, now trains him and makes steady adjustments to his game plan.
