I agree

That kid is no joke

Linares is a beautiful boxer. But....

"Linares also suffered a cut around his right eye in the second."

Lol what else is new? Worst skin in boxing, he starts bleeding early in all of his fights. It's going to be tough for him to compete against the top guys with that condition.

I agree. I saw him live in a dusty bull ring in cancun a decade ago. He got a huge KO win but it was life or death before that. I’d just take meaningful fights if I was him.

Linares looked great, but that's nothing new. He's a fantastic boxer. His problem is that he cuts easily, and surprise, he got cut again. The higher in weight he goes, he's going to face stronger guys who are going to carve him up.


also, dafuq was Cotto doing putting his hands down and looking at the ref?

Great night of action!

When she said "Cotto was a legendary name", as if Abner is a legendary Cotto, it made me cringe. Not her fault she had to say that, but it was still lame.

Linares looks good at 140. Plenty fast and strong. A Lomachenko rematch is going to be another good one if it happens.

if I was forced to say that on air, I would have tried to have some fun with it "and tonight you beat a legendary name, Miguel Cotto........s second cousin"

Jose Ramirez vs. Jorge Linares! Make It Happen!

Here I was thinking that Linares looked so much healthier at 140 instead of 135...and he came in at 137 haha
