    I'd like to see Linares vs. Guerrero. That would be an excellent fight.

      I wouldn't be surprised if he fights Uchiyama in the near future.

        I figure you know about this Uchiyama guy. I see he has only 13 fights but he beat the guy who KO'd Linares.

        Is he any good?

          With Linares he got popped in the head. I call it lucky because a guy with Linares skillset shouldnt be getting hit in the head by a guy who juts lost to a guy with 13 fights.

          Thats all Im saying. I watched that Williams fight and he hit him with a simple counter shot it was an easy punch.
          I know the Williams fight wasn't a fluke. He looked like crap against Quintana in the first fight (no motivation/took him lightly/whatever) and he came back and did what he was supposed to and showed Quintana who's boss.

          Linares went down a couple times and the kid did a good job. Linares, when on point is one of the best 5 boxers (based on boxing skills) in the game. Venezuelans coming kinda strong lately

                Linares should settle the score with salgado first and foremost, no doubt.

                forget the japanese guy right now. beat salgado, then get a belt back

                  He's a decent fighter. Tall, got a good reach and good pop. He pretty much stalked and tried to push Salgado back. His money punch looks to be the overhand right.

                  I only saw the Salgado fight, and I had downloaded four of his early fights that became available afterwards, but they were on my old laptop and I couldn't salvage them. Didn't get to watch them.

                  He would've beaten Salgado on points, had he not stopped him. He's in pretty soft for his first defense, but he has mentioned that he'd like to fight Linares in the future. It'll probably happen, both are co-promoted by Teiken.
