    After Loma the best technical fighter is Linares. Other top technicians include Garcia, Usyk, Crawford, but none are as skilled as Linares.

    But Linares chin is just a travesty. He has no chin at all. Loma has little power even at 130. Hell at 126 he's not really packing that much thump. Let alone 135.

    Linares made Loma look human skill wise. That's what the 2nd best technician in the world will do.

    But this is only a good win for Loma. That glass chin of Linares keeps it from being a great win.

    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...

    He has shown throughout his career that when he gets hit he can't finish the fight.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Semantics Linares needs to be put in a bubble. He has no durability.
