In the early morning of February 19, 2022, Beijing time, at the weighing ceremony held at the RCC Boxing Academy in Yekaterinburg, Russia, the top three world boxing champions, Venezuela's "golden boy" Jorge Linares and the current WBC lightweight world boxing champion silver belt holder Zaur Abdullaev all passed the pre-match weighing. Early tomorrow morning, the two boxers will compete at the RCC Boxing Academy in Yekaterinburg, Russia, for the chance to challenge the current WBC lightweight world boxing champion Devin Hani.
At today's weighing ceremony, Jorge Linares, 36, appeared to be in good shape, easily passing with a weight of 134 pounds (60.78 kilograms), while former World Champion Challenger Zar Abdulayev was slightly heavier than Jorge Linares at 134.9 pounds (61.23 kilograms), both of whom passed in one go.
The game was difficult to predict, and although Jorge Linares was technically good and experienced, he was a bit older, and when he made his professional boxing debut in 2002, the current world boxing champion Devin Hani was only 4 years old.
Zal Abdulayev, on the other hand, is only 27 years old and has a total of 14 wins and 1 loss in his profession, including 8 KO opponents.
In the WBC system, Zar Abdulayev is fourth in the lightweight class, while Jorge Linares has won the title of World Champion of Boxing in the featherweight, super featherweight and light weights, but he is ranked sixth after Zar Abdulayev.
Although there are many media predictions that Jorge Linares will have the advantage in the game of Zar Abdulayev, his physical fitness is a shortcoming that cannot be ignored. And in matches against Devon Hani and Vasily Lomachenko, Jorge Linarez has proven himself to be very good at fighting blows in the lightweight mid-jaw. Therefore, I think that the possibility of Zar Abdulayev, who is young and strong and playing at home in his hometown, is still very likely to defeat Jorge Linares.
In addition, the author also believes that Jorge Linares, who has lost three of the last six matches, although still holds the title of former world boxing champion, is no longer a lightweight first-line boxer, and if he loses this match, it will not be far from the day when the Venezuelan golden boy announces his retirement.
I really don't want to see Jorge Linares become a stepping stone for young boxers in the final years of his career, so regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's game, I hope that Jorge Linares can think hard and draw a good end to his career.
As for Zar Abdulayev, his previous matches have been played in Russia against some unknown boxers, although this allows him to remain mysterious, but if he wants to come out again to compete for the title of world boxing champion, Zar Abdulayev will have to come out and prove himself to the world.
Tomorrow's match will be run by RCC Boxing Promotion, which will be broadcast live by ESPN TV to the world, and interested friends should not miss it.
