Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares vs. Luke Campbell Finalized - September 23, HBO

Yeah, the weight concerns me, and I think Broner is a big test for Mikey, especially if he's thinking of going to 147, which is INSANE! Also, Omar hasn't made 140 in years! He has talked about going back down, but he hasn't fought below 147 since he beat Burns in May 2015. He fought Antonio DeMarco @ 151!

LOL true with Omar.

I think he lost some dedication to boxing for awhile with his injuries. I think he can get it back if he hasn't already & get to 140. I don't think he's a 147 fighter. I think he probably realized that before fighting Guerrero & certainly should have now when Guerrero had some early moments against him.

I like Linares. Campbell has to take the opportunity but he isn't at this level yet - may never get there. Clear and probably pretty comfortable UD .

I hope Linares handles his business, and then faces Mikey Garcia! If he chooses to fight anyone else, I'm going to have to call it like I see it! I know ODLH is calling the shots, but if it's OK to call out Canelo for delaying the fight with GGG, then the same must be applied to Linares!

That sounds reasonable. I hope the same

Good fight. I still think this would have been a very good co main event for the Canelo vs GGG card but Linares is getting his own stage and a great exposure.

My only question is why isn't this fight in the U.K.? Linares vs Campbell would have probably sold real well over there.

Campbell is a solid fighter and has looked pretty good since that loss to Mendy, but Linares is probably the best fighter at 135 after Mikey. I like this fight though, just don't get why this isn't in the UK, seems like it would be a huge event there
