if it's the velazquez i'm thinking of he's too old,he used to be a pretty tough fighter but that was a long time ago,but i understand linares being matched against an old guy with really no punch anymore

And he didn't look good, maybe he was ahead on the cards, but he faded. He lost on a cut, but he still looked tired, the guy was running after him. He might be shot, I don't see him beating any of the big name lightweights. He'll get an easy win then campaign for a payday before anyone notices. Canelo?

Canelo? Everyones been noticing... when you fight more people who aren't in the JMW for your belt... you know something's up. Hell, when you fight somebody 2 weightclasses below for your belt.
I think Linares needs a few fights to get back in it. Demarco was bad.... his next loss was devastating to his mentality
