    Linares needed 10-12 stitches on outside, 10-12 on inside, according to GB's Robert Diaz. Said you could see bone. They claim head butt.

    Looked like one at the clinch right before the stoppage

        I guess it wasn't a bad stoppage then.

          I've gone back and rewatched Linares fight yet again. There is ZERO evidence of a butt causing a cut. It was a right hand from Thompson.

            I love watching Linares...but can't help but think we'll never see him in another big one.

              If it's that extensive of a cut he'll be on the shelf for awhile but doesn't bold well for the future he's going to have real problems with cuts opening up when the wind blows

                It is clear it was that last huge right hand, on the actual tv broadcast you could see the blood dipping right away. And all that people calling a premature stoppage... without actually seeing the kind of cut it was


                Ps.- And it isnīt rare to get cut by DeMarco and Thompson, they punch really hard.

                  Cut or no cut, Linares looked like he was rocked and maybe his conditioning would have saved him, but with his last loss fresh in his mind he would have had another 9 long rounds to go, so now with 2 losses back to back, the hill he has to climb is massive. Add to that the other fighters will now want to check his chin and his eye for an easier win,.... he's not got it easy lol
                  He's an exciting fighter, so i hope he can get over the hurdles and get back out there again
