    I have a similar prediction. Campbell does well, competitive fight and at some point in the second half KO for Linares. However, I think the KO could be a proper "out-for-the-count" highlight reel lights out Amir Khan tier KTFO moment. Hope not but Campbell just gives me fragile vibes.

    Linares on points. Really like both and it should be an entertaining fight, but just think Linares will be too slick

    Mostly same as above. I think Campbell will start OK but will start to feel the pace come 6th. He strikes me as the type to really buckle when he's up against it. With that in mind, I think we might see a Linares stoppage.

    I am definitely going to be in the minority here, but I fancy a Campbell stoppage in the mid-late rounds, 8 on.

    You'll get very good odds on that, I imagine.

    A part of me thinks Campbell could do this, he has quality skills, size and reach advantage. He's a bit younger and fresher and maybe Linares has had too many hard fights...yeah he shone against Crolla, but Crolla's also had a lot of hard fights and was stylistically tailor made for Linares.

    That part of me loses bet after bet though and convinced me to get married at 25 years old.

    Rounds 7-9 13/1 rounds 10-12 16/1. Will have a cheeky tenner on each.

    I know, I pressed 'collect' on life's fruit machine way to early. Obviously I wouldn't say that in front of her, she's got a wicked right hook but her movements poor, she really plants her feet.

    As long as she plants her feet next to the kitchen sink and the cooker, you have nothing to worry about.

    Head says Linares via points decision but heart says Campbell TKO 8. I know Luke needs to step up but this a hard test. Linares must slow down at some point but does Luke carry enough power to do this ? I hope so but can't see it really...
