    It was a seesaw fight, very close, very competitive and it was also some of the best boxing I've seen in a long long time. Both these guys are VERY skilled.

    Let's have a rematch!

    I can easily see this going the other way. You could see that the KD might happen before it happened. Linares caught him with a beautiful HARD counter right over Loma's left and then a left hook while he was coming in, you can see that he can catch Loma.

    But I bet people aren't gonna call for a rematch because it was a decisive finish, completely ignoring the fact that the fight was very close and could very much go the other way in a rematch.

    I agree, Linares was starting to catch Loma.

    Apart from the KD, Lomachenko was in full control the whole fight. Did he take a few solid shots ? Yep, but that's happens at the highest level. He still thouroughly dominated the real champion and one punch KOed him in his first fight at 135. A revenge could be fun but would only end the same way.
