    Let him knock out Lundy instead of Linares. He'll actually get credit for that fight

    Linares has the skills to beat Broner but at this stage of his career he needs
    at least a couple of confidence building fights(should stay away from Mexicans for a while).

    A loss vs Broner right now would be devastating to Linares's career.

    Broner is one of my favorites right now; I really like his style - he's a pure "instinct boxer."

    I think he's at his best when he's pressuring you, and getting his punches off first (and in turn, setting up counters), rather than boxing off the back foot, simply waiting for one-shot counters.

    He has some real potential - his style is definitely one for professional boxing, especially with his speed, reflexes, and power.

    He is also like 5'8'' I believe, and only in his low 20's, so he realistically could fill out all the way up to 147. But don't want to get ahead of myself right now - for the time being he's got Escobedo, and then the lightweight class, which may not be that deep, but has a lot of solid guys right now. Especially if gamboa settles in at 135 when he comes back, which I expect him to. Gamboa/Broner is the fight that needs to be made in the next 2 years.

    he should go straight for demarco, until linares couldn't control the blood he was bossing the fight. stylistically its a great fighter for broner against someone who keeps coming and demarco will test the boys will.

    they sparred at the wildcard. pretty evenly matched at the time...but linares has deteriorated since he's been there. advantage broner.

    I don't think so, most likely going to sign with GBP.

    I would recommend Broner stay away from Demarco. I think Demarco whoops him.

    Linares has a glass jaw he will be KOed in 6 or less. With that said I would still like to see it.

    Demarco was frozen and shocked by Valero's speed and power. What do think he'll do against Broner who is faster and hits just as hard?:deal
