Former two-division titlist Jorge Linares, blessed with enormous talent but a poor chin and tissue-thin skin that cuts easily, is on the comeback trail. Venezuela's Linares, a one-time prodigy, won belts at featherweight and junior lightweight but never fully lived up to expectations. In 2009, he got whacked in the first round and lost his junior lightweight title to Juan Carlos Salgado in Tokyo, Linares' second home. He then won four fights in a row before facing Mexico's Antonio DeMarco for a vacant lightweight belt last October at the Staples Center on the Bernard Hopkins-Chad Dawson I undercard.
