Roberto Diaz, the matchmaker for Golden Boy Promotions, reported that Cano will have the opportunity that he has earned with his actions in the ring, while Linares is planning to return to 135 pounds, because at 140 he felt physically disadvantaged.
And regarding Linares, he is heading back down in weight commented Diaz.
"Obviously we knew there was risk, he knew it and prepared himself thoroughly, but he told me that he felt very physically disadvantaged, that he plans to return to the 135 where there are good fights and where he will surely have new opportunities because he is a committed fighter and experienced," Linares said.
