WBA lightweight titlist Jorge Linares, who faces Mercito Gesta this Saturday night on HBO from the Forum in Inglewood, eked past British southpaw Luke Campbell in his last fight in September. If not for a second round knockdown, Linares (43-3, 27 KO's) would have to had to settle for a draw as he won by the scores of 115-112, 113-115 and 114-113.

Linares hurt his ribs in the 4th round and couldn't throw punches properly until the 9th. He then says Luke didn't hurt him, at all.

Did he pull a muscle then recover in 15 minutes or did he feel the body shots Luke was landing?. Good fight either way.

Likely pulled a muscle is what I get from it.

Linares was getting his @$$ whooped I was going for him. Luke Campbell made him look bad and I felt he did enough to win. Mikey Garcia is taking Linares belt when that fight happens.

The only person who's ass was whipped was Campbells. Lukes a classy fighter but won 4 rounds at best.
