The ref should've let it go on but Linares didn't object.

Mikey's actually an inch shorter than Lomachenko

Linares disappointed me a bit but he put up enough of an effort plus he is still handsome so I like him.

Linares clearly got on his feet on count 8-9 but decided to stay bent for extra 2-3 seconds so that would ref definitely didn't let him continue. Or perhaps because he fainted while straightening up.
But in any case stoppage was fair and ref looked like he wanted to let continue very much (paid by GB?) but saw that there was no way to fix this with Linares staying bent.
The question is... CAN WE STILL CALL LOMA NOMASCHENKO OR NOT??!Last edited by Ajvar; 05-13-2018, 07:30 PM.

Linares did well but I couldn't help thinking he could've took it to Loma a bit more. But man, he looked huge compared to Loma. Kinda weird fight but a pretty good watch.

Even though that shot look brutal and I don't how body would even function properly Linares look like he was mentally gone.

Linares wanted no more. His actions showed that. Brave talk after the fact of course, but he's not the first to do this and won't be the last.
