Linares stream

[Rpgboxen]

Linares was always a slow starter doesn't have a chin at all and also cuts way too easy. It's a shame cuz this kid had alot of potential and is a former 2 weight world champion at 126lbs WBC and 130lbs WBA. Could have added more world titles but ever since he left Japan and got KOed by JC Salgado he hasn't seemed like the same fighter.

just basing it on his past history. he doesnt seem to handle cuts and early turmoil too well. i thought he looked pretty shook up after the knockdown. i like to give fighters the benefit of the doubt but he looked like he was getting tagged pretty good and solid. i think he would have been dropped again before getting control of the situation.

entertaining and interesting card to say the least though.

linares got tagged with a lot more big shots but thompson was the one who got seriously hurt. linares was stunned in the knockdown but he fell partially due to balance. linares gets hit to much, though and while i think the stoppage was dubious, i also think that thompson would likely open that thing up in the later rounds for a legit stoppage or overwhelm him for a tko. or, may linares could've ko'd him if they continued. i definitely wanted to see more, though.
