    What a FIGHT!

    I know there are probably plenty of threads about this already but Loma v Linares was the best fight this year and probably the most important so far. Linares showed he was a top, top fighter and Loma proved he was a special fighter. I've had my reservations about Loma and what would happen if he was in his first physically taxing fight since Salido....but he just showed how good he is.

    To come back from a KD, on my card being down a point, against a bigger man and to stop him with a body shot...BOY!

    Rematch please.

    Fights like this should be celebrated. It's not often we see fights of such high quality.

      Exactly!

      The quality was so high, the feints, the speed, the skills on display, we need more of these fights.

        Agreed!

        Not sure about a rematch, or at least not immediately, as there's other good fights out there for both guys.

          Not sure about the rematch. Was a great fight, but I'd rather move on to the next one. I have a feeling Loma would just study the tape and come back to dominate (similar to what Floyd did in rematches)

          So I'd like him to go after Easter next.

          EDIT - Just read that Easter and Mikey have agreed to a unification bout. If true, nvmd. Beltran I guess lol

            I wouldn’t do a rematch. Fights like that take something out of you.
