    Linares has great punch placement, he's good at rolling with punches, throws punches at awkward angles at times, he was winning the Demarco fight and Thompson came out charging him, and Salgado landed a perfect shot on his chin, Crawford definitely has a chance at KOing Linares, but Jorge has a chance to KO him as well or possibly outboxing him, Linares doesn't get nearly enough credit for his skillset.

    I'd say there's a chance but it's minimumal, not very decent at all. Crawford is a better boxer with more speed and better timing. It would be a fun fight to watch, good fighter vs great fighter.

    I've never been sold on Linares. Truth is that he has lost to the best fighters he has faced in Salgado, Yayo, and DeMarco.

    The WBC has 2 Eliminator bouts Lundy-Zlaticanin and Mitchell-Estrada to determine who Linares will fight next.

    Linares was winning on points when they stopped the DeMarco fight, on top of that it was stopped too early he was blocking the majority of the punches and never went down he was just covered in blood and ref freaked out.

    No **** sherlock. He is clearly the more talented and skilled fighter but that headrolling BS and his weak skin is what doomed him.
    Poor tactics.

    What doomed him was he engaged DeMarco too much and ran out of gas. Should have just done a Floyd and picked his shots and protect his wounded face.

    Linares has diminishing returns on his ring IQ.

    He isn't a 12-round fighter.
