linares looked way off
he's all done.
I thought I was the only 1 who felt this way. Im a very sad panda after last night. We have lost Gamboa and now Linares.
Poor stoppage
agreed. bad stoppage. that being said he was getting tagged. got legitimately dropped. would have probably been beat up. did you see his reaction when the ref stopped the fight? linares was A O K with that stoppage, lol. too bad too, because the demarco fight was terrific. his last and only hurrah i guess
he was getting touched up in round one too before he hurt thompson. thompson was missing with the first couple shots but he was throwing threes and fours and those were getting in. he sent linares head around a few times. when a guy is hitting you with an uppercut that you dont see in the first round the fight's probably not going to go your way. especially if you're supposed to be this slick boxer
linares looked way off. legs didnt look good. the confidence wasnt there. and he wasn't even seeing lots of those punches. this isnt brandon rios. this is jorge linares. he's not that type of fighter.
he's all done. he's been knocked the hell out (salgado,) worn down over time in a prolonged beating (demarco, who also ripped his face apart, he took a lot of shots in that fight.) and now he's been beat up by a bum (i dont want to rip on the guy too bad after a solid win, but i watched some tape last night because i had never seen him before, and he's not good. he's an aggressive punching bag.)
Golden Boy is such a joke.
What do you do with a guy you're really high on when he's coming off a stoppage loss?
Put him in the ring with someone with 20ko's in 22 wins....sounds like a great idea.
Lol, horrible match making....seems Roach isn't working for this guy.

The cut was right on top of the eyelid, which is a horrible place to have a cut that early in a fight.
Last night, I thought it was a bad stoppage, It wasn't until right now that I saw the cut just above the eye, I wish the doc would've cleaned it first, but I saw the butterfly bandages above his eye, that usually means it's big gash. I'm okay with that stoppage.
With that chin, he's no second coming of Oscar de la Hoya. That's for sure. Smh and all roach is doing is compounding the problem. The guys defense has seemed to vanish overnight.
Definitely agree. Either Thompson was faster than he expected, or he simply abandoned bobbing and weaving/slipping punches. It could be a combination of both. A guy with easily breakable facial tissue NEEDS to be defensively disciplined, and we all know Roach doesn't give a **** about defense. Maybe the Demarco fight took more out of him than I first expected. As soon as I saw Linares was busted open, i said "****!!" cuz I knew being cut that early in a fight with a guy who can punch, it's almost a death-wish.
does anyone know where the cut is located exactly?

Danny De Vito shouldnt be allowed to doctor anymore boxing matches....
Linares looks the part but as Max Kellerman said he seems less than the sum of his parts.

That was a total bullsh.it stoppage! Boxing needs to do better to prevent this kind of crap.
Really?, did you see the cut?. I didn´t see it but I´m pretty sure it was bad, too deep I think because he started to bleed too much almost instantly after he got it.
And this guy Sergio has been looking pretty good for some time. Huge power and good speed. We may have a new hero in the making, :fest30: not a good year to fight a Mayan. :boxing:
Ive never felt that Linares was any good. Really confused on why some people, actually a lot of people were so high on him.
He is extremely skilled
And has amazing potential
