Did Linares get exposed? Or did Lomachenko ruin him?

[_Rexy_]

Linares is a very slow starter and small at 140 facing a guy who usually fights at 147.

He got hit with a clean shot by a bigger fighter and couldn't recover. He's been stopped 3 times in his career. If you hurt him you can stop him.

Or perhaps do you have another interpretation for why Pablo Cesar Cano destroyed him so easily?

Maybe fighting a 140 lber was a factor?

Lomachenko defeat wasn’t even his worst loss or beating.
We already knew linares weakness and that was his chin, cano just went hard for it

[GhostofDempsey]

Moving up to 140 was too much for him. He also has 50 fights, plenty of wear and tear on him.

[Larry the boss]

exposed? he was already ko'd 4 times before this fight

[FinitoxDinamita]

Bad matchmaking for his first opponent at 140. But I dont think Linares is durable enough to face harder hitters at 140.

[KillaMane26]

Can we ban the word "exposed"

[dukesville]

Anyone surprised by this ko of Linares dosen't know him. I have seen him get stopped 3 times before the Lomachenko fight. I think Salgado was the 1rst to stop him.

You still think he schools a healthy two armed Lomachenko in a re-match?

If I'm Linares people I tell ' em "Dont fight Mexican fighters"
