Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: I'd Be Surprised if Linares Lasts Twelve With Loma

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

VASYL LOMACHENKO goes for a world title in a third weight on Saturday night. And what a special clash it could be with WBA lightweight king Jorge Linares. It is a mark of the man that the former WBO featherweight and super-featherweight champion is stepping up in weight and facing arguably the best at lightweight.

I think most of us feel the same way Frank lol it still was a fight that had to be made.

It's a 50/50 fight imo, because of the eight!!

I actually think Linares can last the whole 12, just because he is a durable guy and Loma isn’t a power puncher, he can certainly overwhelm Linares with his intensity but i wouldn’t be surprised if Linares doesn’t fold.

Linares has lost before, and come back stronger - I think he can deal with adversity.

I don't know if he can last 12 rounds without cuts being a factor.

Agreed, losing sometimes can help you deal with adversity later on in your career.

Jorge has height, reach and 10 lbs over Loma. Loma has speed, skill and IQ over Jorge. Fun fight, Loma by late KO.

Loma everyday of the week.

Loma is the smaller fighter

Less reach. Less power.

This means that he will have to execute the Hummingbird Style to perfection, lest he gets caught with a shot

This means that you will probably see Lomachenko in rare form. The quickest that we have seen him, because the risk is high with Linares

No mistake in Linares' footwork will go unpunished. This one may end in a liver shot knockout...

Does Jorge have a "Mexican meat rash" on his shoulder?
