After Linares was brutalised

[dan_cov]

by DeMarco why on earth would you put the fragile chinned Linares against quite an unknown Mexican with 19 K.Os in 21 wins? About 15 coming in the way of 2 rounds.

Surely though the guy was stylistically was made for Linares there was safer options out there?

Linares can't back bounce back, his career as a top contender is done. Good win for Thompson.

i have no problems putting him in with a guy like that tonight. it works both ways. hyped guys get in with dudes like him and some people praise for the big KO. while others call shiiit on a soft touch/tune up fight. we got a wildcard victory tonight.

linares lost and for most people he's done with no chance of rebounding. maybe its the right call to say he's done. but who would you have put him in with? a guy 0-2?

he didnt pass the test and thats what it is.

If linares couldn't beat that guy, a guy I've never seen before tonite but a guy who clearly has little skill, then he has no1 to blame but himself and his coaching team. Linares was handmade for that guy? I beg to differ. That guy was handmade for Linares!
