Comments Thread For: Roach: Linares Has Fight Left in Him; Might Be Too Old for Loma

[MrFynest]

So if this guys is TOO OLD at 32....."how old is pac"

In boxing your considered old based on the wars you been in not age. Heck Fernando Vargas was already a shot fighter at just 22.

Linares has skills, I expect him to make Lomachenko look mortal in a tough fight. Keep in mind, Linares is a big guy for Lomachenko and he can box, has fast hands and Loma has never faced anyone that big with a style like Linares.

Yes....Linares has been beaten but it was by a pressure (Antonio Margarito style) fighters and Lomachenko is small and not exactly a pressure fighter.

This is a competitive fight that I need to see.

Linares is fast and has pop but he's easy to hit and gets complacent in exchange's. Loma will pick him and the size difference isn't as much as you'd think. Don't be surprised if linares looks like a novice

[Boxing Logic]

The excuses people are making already are ridiculous. All these fanboys want to give credit to their favorite boxers like Wilder for beating a 38 to 48 year old Ortiz, Ward for not even legitimately beating an old 34 year old Kovalev with drinking and smoking problems, Floyd for beating a 36 year old Pacquiao who had been through many wars, and Canelo for winning 3-4 rounds against a 35 year old GGG, but now Linares, at 32 years old and in the midst of the best run of his career, is "too old." Are you kidding me? 32 is still prime. 33 is when things go downhill fast.

I hope you're right, I want Lomachenko to be the guy I think he is. I'm getting bored of all the big talk and self promoters, I just want to see great fights.
I'm glad they got this one together.

Size and power dont mean anything if you cannot land. I expect Loma to use quick hands and feet to frustrate Linares all night long. Loma UD. Linares should have taken the Garcia fight, much more winnable imo then boxing loma

I agree with Roach.

Linares is ancient in boxing years, like George Groves and DeGale. I remember his Japanese days and his losses to nondescript opposition like DeMarco.

This fight is semi-decent.
