Can there be ANY Doubt that Linares has a glass jaw??

he was never that good, i always thought so. he looks good under favorable circumstances, but then so do i. he would make a tremendous amateur, but you need to be made of harder stuff to be a top pro.

 

Please lets see your in-depth analysis of why he also lost to C level guys like demarco, salgado and thompson?

jeez this guy is so flashy so he gets an excuse one after another for every loss to a c level fighter.

The reason is simple. There's levels to this game. To tell someone's level, you look at who they can beat, how easy they beat them, who they struggle with and who they lost to, how easily they lost. It's as simple as that. From that you get an idea of where to place a fighter in terms of his level.

There's a hundred reasons why someone could lose to another; chin, speed, bad night, distractions. Most of it is quite irrelevant because boxing is about being "complete". So the more deficiencies you have, the more incomplete you are and the more chance someone can expose that. We can let 1 or 2 slide there, everyone can have some sort of extenuating circumstances but this is the 4th time Linares has lost to a journeyman now.

 

Mikey chose Lipiniets over Linares...

 

Great post

 

He looks like a 33 year old who has had 50 fights

Time to hang them up

 

Glass or not, Linares's jaw is a vulnerable one.

I'm not surprised with his defeat. It has been a long time I have already had this feeling that Linares has issue with inconsistency. When he is serious and determined to achieve something, he is a terrific fighter. But when it is a regular fight and facing opposition who seems to be not on par with him, sometimes he can be disinterested, then slipped and losing all his concentration and confidence. I was surprised when he suffered first defeat and that was the first time he lost in first round too. To be fair, his opponent this time is a good one, better than Salgado.

 

So one more of Golden Fishnet's cash cow bites the dust.
Linares stock plummeted to an all time low.
I don't think Golden Fishnet can get it up any more. Linares will just be FishFood from now on.

 

A 33 year old war torn veteran moving up to his 5th weight class against a decent opponent gets caught cold and suddenly he's glass jawed? **** you Zakman you moron. You call glass the second anyone gets stopped as if KO's aren't a part of boxing.

 

5 mins ago he was a p4p man mountain of a lightweight, with huge powahhh,

Beating Linares isn't a good win ffs Ant 20p Corolla nearly beat him LOL

 

And his losses to c level guys at lightweight Nd featherweight? We’re they because he was moving up too? Lol

 

It's because he is one dimensional. Linares is essentially a more polished Ryan Garcia. They both focus 100% on their best assets.
Unfortunately for Linares, he never got the memo that he should focus on his defense.

An average chin and leaky defense, this is why Linares keeps loosing to lesser fighters.

 

He looked extremely impressive just one fight ago and probably would have again against a the same level of opponent.

But Cano is a very underrated fighter and i knew this wasn't going to be the mismatch most thought it would be. He's tough , has underrated skill and doesn't care about getting hit. He's a bigger and better DeMarco so the result really isn't all that surprising.
Linares , as good as he is , doesn't have the physicality or durability to deal with big rugged guys at 140.

 

Just shows how small Loma is at 135
