Linares stream

[Light_Speed]

The ringside doctor was corrupt! That cut was bad but not bad enough to stop the fight! He didn't even take his time to examine it closely. And Linares went down mostly because he lost his balance.

was it stopped for over the cut? i dont speak spanish so i dont know what they're saying. i thought they were just white flagging over the inevitable. he was defintely hurt.

either way its crazy. when i saw linares coming up, and especially against larios, i thought he was gonna be one of the new guys to carry the torch. jus...wow.

Questionable stoppage doc didn't look at it in depth didn't care for that

Linares has such a poor chin

Yes the ringside doc didn't even look at it he just waved a red card like in a soccer match lol. If it was the other way around they would have let Thompson continue. Linares was hurt though I won't deny it.

Cut wasn't that bad, it seems like teh ref was just trying to help Linares recover and it backfired.

Linares was hurt and was hit flush in round 1 as well. Didn't take the guy out when he was hurt and it came back to bite him in the ass.

The cut wasn't that bad but if you saw the DeMarco fight you could see he (Linares) was on his way to another bloody mess. He was cut from round 1.

Yea it was stopped kinda weird, it wasnt looked at that closely

And i also dont think it was bad enough to stop the fight

[UmissUpay]

but imagine guys it was just round 2 got a cut already

imagine how would he look if it went round 12

juanma: doctor has ******** problem i guarantee

i've never seen a card held up like that so i was kinda unsure as to what was actually happening. i thought it was a linares cornerman who didnt speak english throwing the towel.

i wouldnt have stopped it for the cut but i think he was on the verge of getting legit-stopped regardless so i have no beef with the call.

in hindsight, maybe linares was feelin himself too much and was overlooking guys like salgado/thompson. i think he would make an interesting gate-keeper type fighter now that he knows where he stands.

would love to see him in with a guy like hank lundy or provodnikoff on espn

I don't think you can say he would have been stopped, in fact Thompson is the one who got hurt the most in the fight. His legs went jelly in the 1st round with one shot. Linares got rocked but he went down because he lost his equilibrium. Both guys could have been stopped.
