LINARES got knocked out VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[arraamis]

WOW...Big upset...and juan had that killer extinct to finish him...

I'll say ...... Salgado was running in to finish him off

Linares just didn't see that punch coming - its like he was expecting a jab and Salgado threw a semi-hook ..... nice punch.

One thing I can say about fights in Japan ... The announcers make it exciting as hell, the way they start screaming and hollering

Kind of strange they announced the Challenger last instead of the Champ Linares, it's Jimmy Lennon Jr too so it makes it even stranger. Also it looks like Salgado has JMM's team, I see that balding light skinned Mexican guy and the gay Asian.

Yea I noticed that too haha

Linares really couldn't have done much more to get away from that shot, he had his arm up to block the left hook but it just snuck in between the gloves and it landed at just the right spot to take away his equilibrium.

[KILLA RIGHT]

I dont believe much in losses make you better but in this case it will.reason he get's hit way to much and maybe this will open his ***en eyes and make him relise he has all the tools offensively but not defensively

[Bushidō]

Ricky Hatton type punch resistance.

He got caught perfectly on the temple

[thiefery]

beautiful shot.. Lineras will bounce back especially with GBP pulling the strings.. But i rather see Salgado fight more

[No1]

he got khan'd big time. what a hook to start it off though, that was monsterous.

[!! Shawn]

Damn. I was wondering how he got knocked out because he's got a damn good chin and is highly skilled. I thought it might have been something like this. A perfect temple shot in the first round. There you go then! No matter how good your chin and no matter how skilled, if you get caught with one hard shot there you're ****ed. It just kills your whole nervous system.

I wonder if they'll have a rematch. Surely Linares had his rematch clause in place so it should happen but Salgado is a pretty damn good fighter and now is an unbeaten champion with a great fighter on his resume.... and a first round KO to boot!

I wouldn't go that far as to say he is a pretty good fighter. From what I saw, Linares was comfortably outskilling him until he got caught with a punch he didn't see. That punch was largely an artifact of too much time in the gym with big gloves, and not enough time in the ring with little gloves. He put his guard up expecting the punch to not be able to slip through around the side, but it did because they are wearing little gloves.

He didn't see it, didn't expect it, and thats the punch that hurts you.

Linares needs more activity. The guy has fought 3 or so times since he turned 21, which is absolutely ******ed.

I honestly believe he thought the shot would be blocked, and probably wasn't even tensed up to take a shot, so when it got through, it really did some damage.

If there were in 16 ounce sparring gloves, that shot would have been blocked, but they were in 8 ounce fight gloves, thats why fighters need to stay active.
