Mitchell's face is a mess. Linares fought a smart fight and came on strong later on. Good fight.

If he and Buddy McGirt were to team up - they'd be the GOAT

Great, great fight.

Both guys were sharp, showed toughness and put it all out there. Linares just a little sharper.

Tremendous fight.

This is last night's remedy. I always thought Linares's skill was on par with Khan's but no. Linares is better than Khan.

Great fight! Far far superior fighter in Linares every category, it was a matter of time. Away from home he took the Heart of Mitchell and pot shotted him to an eventual victory.
