This could go the same way as Linares vs Crolla I: even or near-even after 8, then Linares' skill, versatility and seasoning telling as he pulls away in the final third to either take a close but deserved UD, or to stop Campbell in the 10th or 11th.

A minute into the 8th Linares had his best sequence in a while, landed several fast jabs and a right. And some more good rights with a minute left. Linares knows this isn't easy and is pressing it on the front foot. Best Linares round since the third. 4-4.
