    That's the problem though, Rocky has a serious problem finding that "third gear".

    I don't know, Rocky has the power in either hand to take any featherweight out.. problem is he never throws enough punches to give him the possibility of landing his homerun shots.

    Pretty much.

    I think alot of people are forgetting Rocky does have good power, and Linares is coming off a recent KO1 loss. So we will see if The Linares ko loss was really just a lucky punch kinda night.

    expect it to be a very boring UD for Linares

    Linares will keep the action at a very slow pace and away from Juarez as much as possible since he is now aware of how fragile his chin is and how dangerous a puncher Juarez is. As for Juarez, he will fight the same tentative way without ever swtiching to a more intense gear despite repeated instructions from his corner to do so.

    Linares should beat Juarez fairly easy, but the question is will he and I think he will take the early rounds and then Juarez might take the last couple of rounds. Linares by somewhat wide UD.

    Except for Barrios Juarez comes up short in his big fights and Linares hasn't lived up to his early hype, so both guys really need to win this one. I think Linares wins by decision but Juarez has some pop so its an interesting match up. I don't expect a great fight here but it could be a decent one. Linares by decision.

    Juarez came very close to blowing the Barrios match. Good thing Rocky has heavy hands.

    If Juarez comes in with a sense of urgency it could make this match interesting.
