Linares is the 2nd best technician in the world with a pure glass chin

Man... Linares got down by a body shot, I don't know how does it gets connected with his chin..

 

Wtf are you on about... Linares didn't look hurt during the fight and he was hit with plenty of big shots, he got KOed by a body shot... so unless you classify liver as part of the mandible...

 

So what does that have to do with tonight? Every flush shot he took on the chin tonight he stood up to very well.

 

You missed the fight, it was a body shot.

 

Honestly, they are both featherfists and I didn't see any real hard shots land on Linares. Linares was consistently landing the harder artillery, such as it was, while Lomachenko looked like he was trying to tickle him.

 

yet Linares was the one busted up and stopped.

 

Linares always gets busted up, its his calling card now. The liver shot... not many can get up from a well placed liver blow. I'd add that I don't agree that Linares is the next best operator/technician today.

 

i never said he was. he was definitely a worthy opponent and a good win.

 

Yea no, I was referring to the OP and his crazy thread title.

 

Linares always has had poor punch resistance. You ever see the De Marco fight? His face swells, bruises, and cuts easier than anyone's. And the Salgado fight where he was KO'd in 1? Still, I thought he'd go the distance.

 

nope, rarely watch guys the size of anorexic chicks.
