[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

StubHub Center, Carson, California - In the opening bout on SHOWTIME EXTREME, former two-division world champion Jorge "Niņo De Oro" Linares (37-3, 24 KOs) may have earned himself a shot at WBC 135-pound champ Figueroa with a second-round knockout over Ira Terry (26-12, 16 KOs), of Memphis, Tenn. After dominating the first round, Linares connected with a solid straight right hand that put Terry down on the seat of his pants. The referee didn't bother to count.

Linares would box the ears off Omar, but then would get cut and stopped

Or he would get knocked out by Figueroa like he got knocked out in the first two rounds by Salgado and Thompson. Linares got a lot of skill but a weak chin. One big shot by Figueroa and he's done.

If Omar can get a big fight at 140 like Garcia or someone, f1ck Linares.

Your right. Linares rocked Thompson in the 1st and then Thompson dropped Linares in the 2nd. Who really knows how the fight would have turned out if it wasn't for the cut. It had the makings of a classic.
