    Loma is more consistent. Linares seems to fight down to the level of his opponent a bit, and also hasn't faced much quality opposition since he lost to DeMarco.

    This is an interesting fight, Linares is much bigger than Lomachenko, but will be very difficult for Linares to land punches on. It is a fight that I want to see for sure!

    Closer to the fight I'm starting to see Loma making Linares look and feel dumbfounded. He's done it to other good fighters. Linares has size, length and skills, but I don't see him being able to land a KO punch. 12 round domination unless Linares quits.

    That's what it should be. Lomachenko isn't a big guy himself. In his first fight changing weight it's the better the decision to pick a guy like Linares.

    Linares is taller, longer and can really punch in combination. He's always starts as sharp as a razor - definition of a front runner. It's those middle rounds where he zones out and starts fighting in straight lines, no head movement, predictable patters, and doesnt set anything up.

    It'll be fascinating in the first 3 or 4 rounds.... then i expect Loma to start cutting him up (literally and figuratively) and end that fight shortly thereafter.

    But let’s not get things twisted. At 135 or 140 Mikey garcia is to loma what loma was to rigo in size diff. And Mikey has a lot more pop then those guys.
