    Mikey by KO. Linares has paper skin. He'll be a bloody mask by Round 5.

    I'll go with Linares. He just has that extra edge in skill and could well have an extra level to his game that he didn't show tonight. You could argue he liked Crolla and paid him too much respect.

    Linares is a level above Garcia. He's just too good.

    Linares looks great over the first half of the fight, before tiring and leaving the door open for Garcia to land a big shot.

    Garcia by ko while behind on the cards.

    If Mikey was only a power-punching slugger I'd be confident Linares would outbox him. But Mikey has punching accuracy, timing, counterpunching ability, and masterful use of range to equal Linares. Linares is a little quicker, and the smoother combo puncher. If Linares wins he needs to execute a perfect, smart game plan. It will be about tactics more than technique for him. If anything less, we know his chin is soft at best and Mikey simply likely knocks him out sometime before the bell rings.

    I don't feel confident in picking Mikey by stoppage, so I'll go with a decision. But I'd pick mikey or Jorge to stop Flanagan any day of the week.

    I'm rooting for Mikey by decision. Because that would be the result of the best fight possible between them!

    Mikey by high light reel ko. Mikey can box and he has great power. Linares can't outbox Garcia and will get bombed out.
