    Some of you lot are smoking something else. I just tuned in on the 5th and it's far from a shutout.

    That had naught to do with size; Linares has been practicing for that for several rounds and executed it flawlessly.

    It looked like a flash knockdown but he seemed to play keep away the rest of the round.

    Linares does well when he lets his hands go. When he sits back and waits Loma eats him up. Linares would be wise to take the lead in every round.

    Round 7

    Lomachenko is coming out aggressively to forestall any follow-up ambitions Linares might have been harboring while perched on the stool. Lomachenko is cue-balling Linares' own gloves into his face with quick jabs while rapidly spiraling in on him, never setting his feet. Lots of directional changes and ducking/rising from Lomachenko, switching altitudes with every step, constantly jabbing. Mostly uneventful round, especially compared with its predecessor. Linares taking a few swipes at the body here and there but not getting many scoring chances; Lomachenko playing it very safe.

    10-9 Lomachenko

    68-64 Lomachenko
