    I don't. Linares provides some boxing ability, paired with height, that Lomachenko hasn't faced so far in his career. Linares is getting overhyped to make this a great win for Loma, but it is a step up fight, so I'm all for it. Tells us more about where Lomachenko is at, than fights against smaller men, or men who fought under promotional duress.

    Round 1 Adames 10-9
    Round 2 Adames 20-9
    Round 3 Barrera 10-9, close
    Round 4 Adames 10-9

    Adames is starting to wreck Alejandro, he rocked him to his core twice, once with a one two, later with an overhand. The end is nigh.

    If Adames stops Barrera in the 5th, he equals Spence.

    They can sell this Adames as much as they like, but he is as basic as they come on this evidence.

    Eh...regardless, neither that match nor Rey vs. Azat (who is getting MASSIVELY overrated for beating a shot to bits zombie, much as Menard got massively overrated for beating a Dominican hypejob and then a FNF level guy in Mamadjanov) is one thousandth as good, interesting, or important as Linares vs. Lomachenko is - and, I'd wager, there's a good chance no match this year will be with the possible exception of the WBSS cruiser final (and even there, it probably will be less of each of those)

    Round 1 Adames 10-9
    Round 2 Adames 20-9
    Round 3 Barrera 10-9, close
    Round 4 Adames 10-9
    Round 5 Adames 10-9

    Dominant round from Adames, he's hitting him clean with vicious hooks to the body, and overhands up top. This is target practice now.

    This, it's insane how badly Loma fans are trying to overrate Linares(not saying CST is one of these, just this forum in general).

    Adames has bossed the pair of rounds I've caught (4th & 5th) but yeah, not changing my life or blowing my little mind so far. He's a DR stalker/banger; I've sampled this flavor before many times. :nusenuse:

    Linares has been pushed close-ish by some boxers in recent years who are far more basic than Lomachenko too. I'd be astonished if Loma doesn't win handily, but it will still be a good fight I imagine.
