Comments Thread For: Linares: First Fight Back I Want Is Rematch With Lomachenko

[Timur78]

It was a good fight and Loma pulled the win out in spectacular style and with an injury to rotator cuff, I think.

But Linares boxed very well and caught Loma clean.

Linares deserves a re-match, although probably not a priority for Loma ATM.

I watched it, and while I agree the punch landed clean and flush you cannot discount the fact that Loma was moving forward and his right lead foot landed on Linares' lead left foot. This caused Loma to twist his ankle slightly (not injuring it) and he had no way to absorb the punch or jump back to deflect it. He had no choice but to take it and move on. Have you ever hopped on one foot and have someone push you? There is no way you can keep your balance.

Isn’t all of that irrelevant though? A KD isn’t nullified just because a fighter gets hit while off balance. That was a perfectly clean, perfectly legitimate KD. No gift at all to Linares.

By ****** people, with an agenda. Guy couldn't even beat Pedraza convincingly.

pedraza was robbed!

They missed this one too!

Yeah because Russell Jr. tangling Loma’s left leg with his right had nothing to do with Loma losing balance...

That should have been a KO stoppage right there.

I honestly think he kinda quit in the fight. He had his chance.

He did quit, then when the count was over and the ref stopped it, he got up pretended he wanted to continue.

yea. - Loma is only ranked #1 or #2 p4p across the board....real joke.

You’re not accustomed to his sarcasm, huh?

[Ajvar]

Linares is the only guy who wants rematch to happen. Oh, and 1 weirdo on this forum but probably because he just needs to keep his status in public eyes, even he doesn't want it in truth.

[Lance98]

How about a rematch with Pablo César Cano who beat him silly?

Talk about a ****** person with an agenda.

That said, there's no point in a rematch with Linares and I don't see it happening.
