Comments Thread For: Linares: Stoppage Was Premature, I Want a Rematch!

[immortal tech]

guy was bleeding like he got shot in the face I don't blame the ref for stopping the fight it was looking really ugly and dangerous Linares needs a better cut man

[Team Vitaminas]

Wow , what a wid mouth bitch. He fits perfect in that gym with the roid revolution .lol , if someone beats your ass and you get cut that's just as much a KO as if you where wobbled and had the ref save you from a worse beating .
La Nina should be happy the ref maybe saved him from talking like a ****** later in the future.

It was a very good fight(the best fight of the night) & even thou Linares was winning the fight, Demarco listen to his corner & let it ALL hang out in the 11th round & got the TKO he NEEDED so bad!! Linares was a bloody mess & was taking CLEAN HARD SHOTS to the face & was wobbled & there was plenty of time left in the round, so that makes it a GOOD stoppage.. & at the time of the stoppage, Linares DIDN'T COMPLAIN!!!

Roach doesn't teach defense, he clearly told linares to not take a backward step. Terrible advice, this ones on Freddy. Not everyone has Pacs stamina. But on the good side Jorge looked awesome the first half of fight. Roach would earn alot of respect for owning this. Good stoppage, no way he was making it, haven't seen the wall hit so firmly and abruptly since Derrick Jefferson v. David Izon.

fantastic comeback by demarco - say what you will about the rest of the fight, but linares was busted up, was hurt badly, and the beautiful hook/straight combo demarco threw to finish him off had him backing up in desperation. i just hope the commission doesn't take it away from him...he showed huge heart and earned it. to linares' credit, he did a good job fighting through bad cuts, but was clearly ready to go when the fight was stopped. appropriate stoppage, IMO....and a very impressive finish...

yeah i can deff see it this way. linares should've been looking to take it easy and be more defensive in those late rounds. i don't think it was really premature,cause if the ref wouldn't have stopped it, i can almost bet that it would've been stopped later that round or in the 12th, dude's face was a bloody mess. rematch sounds awesome even though i'd like to see demarco face other 135ers.

I don't think it was premature, but I definitely want to see a rematch

Definitely needs a rematch.

Props to Demarco for sticking to his gameplan despite probably knowing that he was down by a wide margin.

If Linares can stay disciplined, he'll most likely win a rematch.

He stopped it cus was about to go down he took a bunch of flush shots to the face, he was drowning the first 3 rows in a pool of his own blood, and was on his way to the canvas as he was stumbling forward from another shot from Demarco..... yeah it must have been premature.

Also I would like to add that since the cuts were not ruled headbutts, if you can't see they have to stop the fight on you and you loose by TKO anyway.

Either way... DeMarco won and it was the only good thing for boxing on saturday.

I felt they could have let it go on. It wasn't like he wasn't capable of fighting but I don't blame them for stopping it. I was really disappointed and would like to see Linares avenge this loss. He was doing excellent besides the cuts.

how about he be man and avenge his humiliating defeat against his daddy salgado first. he needs to stfu he was glad and relieved when the ref stopped it just laid in his arms and said nothing.
