    One card (versus two) and HBO already has Showtime utterly slain for the month of January, on paper.

    I doubt Linares will get knocked down, Luke Campbell and Crolla probably have more power than Gesta, and he took their shots fine.

    Million Dolla maybe not but Campbell does, I'll bet - plus he's a southpaw just like Gesta, not to mention taller and bigger.

    (and that's leaving out that he's a thousandfold more skillful)

    Did you see the Campbell match? I was surprised at how well Luke did, and how well Jorge took his power, even though I scored it for Linares by a decent margin, he was competitive in most rounds after the 2nd. He tagged Linares clean several times, and Jorge was never phased.

    This might actually be Linares' easiest opponent since Javier Prieto, almost three years prior to a day.

    (Campbell and Crolla both gave him some pretty major problems...and, unbeknownst to any but those of us that watched the card, so did Ivan Cano in a couple of early rounds even though on paper it might look at first glance to have been an easy night going by the result. In the fight before that Linares was dropped by Kevin Mitchell and lost a number of rounds..)
