Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares vs. Luke Campbell Ordered By The WBA

[1hourRun]

Anybody know if Eddie Hearn has a ranked 135 pounder besides Campbell? given how Hearns operates he is probably going to showcase Campbell on the undercard when Linares returns on the 23rd of September...but I'm wondering if Linares is going to defend in the UK but hes not a draw there ( at least as the main-event ) hmm...

Campbell is slick. Doesn't have the damaging left hand to the body that Crolla has, but he's much quicker with more punch variety. Should be a much better fight to watch than Crolla II. Linares will still win, natch. Probably by mid-to-late stoppage.

I've liked the look of Campbell since his defeat and he has some good tools, but this is yet more reckless match-making from Hearn. He should have made the Mendy rematch first and seen if Luke truly has learnt from that loss, because if he hasn't then there's no way he beats a fighter of Linares' calibre. Hearn is clearly quite desperate for headliners at the moment though
