    Linares 152 lb - Loma 138 lb = 14

    Fight night weights. 14 pounds advantage.

    Linares' weight was the same as Crawford's against Gamboa.

    Loma's weight was the same as against Rigondeaux. And some people cried about 7 pounds advantage...

    Linares was brutally beaten up in the fight with a 14 lbs advantage. Let that sink in.

    'He held on his own doe'. Apparently holding against Loma is what is expected from a champ with 14 lbs advantage and reach advantage. If only they judged the European champs on how well they 'hold' their own against the opponents.

        Raising that bar all the time...for some fighters, not others.

              Apparantly that only applies to foreigners, because American fighters are always the larger fighters.
