JORGE 'EL NIÑO DE ORO' LINARES LOS ANGELES MEDIA WORKOUT QUOTES PhilBoxing.com Wed, 26 Sep 2018  SATURDAY, SEPT. 29 AT FANTASY SPRINGS RESORT CASINO AND STREAMED LIVE ON FACEBOOK WATCH LOS ANGELES (Sept. 25, 2018): Former three-division world champion Jorge "El Ni?o de Oro" Linares (44-4, 27 KOs) hosted a media workout at Westside Boxing Club today ahead of his 12-round bout against Abner "Pin" Cotto (23-3, 12 KOs) in the main event of the Sept. 29 edition of Golden Boy Fight Night on Facebook Watch at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif. "Ruthless" Romero Duno (17-1, 14 KOs), who will fight in the co-main event, also attended. Here is what fighters from the Sept. 29 card had to say at the workout: JORGE LINARES, Former Three-Division World Champion: "I've prepared very well for this fight. I'm training with Jorge Zerpa for this fight. He isn't a new trainer. In fact, we were together 11 years ago when I fought for my first world title against Oscar "El Chololo" Larios in Las Vegas. We're working on a lot of things, but mostly we've been reviewing and going back to an old school style of training. I'm not changing my style, just adding some things. I had been thinking about moving to 140 pound for some time. When the opportunity to fight Lomachenko came, I took the fight at 135 pounds even though it was already difficult to do so. If I were to get the opportunity to fight him again, I would drop to 135 pounds, but for now I'll look for more opportunities at 140 pounds. A fight with Mikey Garcia or Jose Ramirez would be excellent, but I need to get stay focused on the opponent in front of me. I know Abner Cotto is tough. He knows how to fight on the inside and the outside. I know he will work hard to give a great fight this Saturday."  Romero Duno. ROMERO DUNO, Lightweight Contender: "I'm happy to comeback and make my way to a title fight. I've been working very hard and I'm very prepared for the victory. I'm excited to come back to Fantasy Springs again to score a great victory." Tickets for Linares vs. Cotto are on sale and start at $35. Tickets will be available at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino box office, by calling 1-800-827-2946, or by purchasing online at www.fantasyspringsresort.com.
