HBO: Jorge Linares vs. Luke Campbell RBR.

says he spars guys his size all the time.

 

i personally believe Mikey Garcia knocks out both fighters tonight far too classy and powerful

 

hes the real can man, absolutely anyone can get it.

 

Who do you think the crowd was for?

 

I could care less. I just watched with my own eyes, as Golovkin punched quite a bit of guard. We know what peoples faces look like when Golovkin is landing jabs, and punches on them repeatedly. Canolo's face didn't look like that after 12 rounds.

 

Anyone else up for Davis Campbell next?

 

Campbell lost for me but very close. He put in a quality performance. Can come back.

 

Have to say, I really enjoyed the fight, and LC lost nothing in defeat (and all the other cliche's), but how that was a SD is beyond me. Thought JL had won comfortably, finding the scoring atm completely odd. Did not feel LC was ever in danger of knocking down JL, but when JL was throwing combinations, always thought there was a chance LC would go down again.

 

Feel Campbell gave a good account of himself, KD sealed the deal for Libares really.

 

Linares, smh

 

Linares closed out strong and showed a lot of experienced pro mettle, grace and conditioning to put in such fine boxing (without getting on his bicycle) in the championship rounds to seal the deal. Knockdown did help but even without it he probably should've juuuust edged to retain. Lot of sour grapes IMO from Campbell, he did a fantastic job but didn't "outclass" anybody like he told Max.

 

Also, weird that Linares (a non-Japanese fighter...and somebody that got written off as damaged goods/exposed by many after his three stoppage losses in the span of a couple of years) is the only current world champion of the once mighty Teiken stable.

At least until Murata kayos N'Dam in their rematch next month.

 

I got to watch it tonight
