    It's a gamble for Campbell if he wins great if not at 30 where does he go from here

    Yes i regulary watch his uploads.
    Note** he does have 4 channels namely rd1, rd2, rd3 and rd4 so make sure you subscribe to all 4.

    Back to TS. Campbell is a long range fighter and so is linares but linares so much better at mid and short range than luke although luke does have a signature back hand uppercut to head or body.
    Linares is faster than luke and nimbler with better balance.
    They share a lot of the same attributes but in general linares is better in each department.
    Linares win for me with a possible k.o in the late rds. Luke will put in a good shift up to the championship rds but this is where hell start fading hell give linares a sniff and linares will turn the screw whilst luke starts to find it hard.

    Eddie has done a pathetic job with luke, this kid after AJ was a promoters dream, all the hard work had been done. Even my grandma knew who like campbell was. Since then hes been matched bad, promoted poorly and sent half way round the world to chase a title shot.

    This is my worry. I think he's got the style to gives Linares a headache, but I can see Linares's flurries taking it all away from him. If I thought his chin could hold up and let him take a few to give a few I'd be feeling a lot better about his chances.

    Luke will start trying to keep things at long range, he has got the slight height and reach advantage, and it is his game after all. It's what he does if (when) that doesn't work which I think will define the fight. If he decides to sit in the pocket it could be an incredibly exciting fight... but unfortunately will probably end in him being KO'd.

    I still just can't forget how close a past it Kev Mitchell was to beating him. We're not talking about a methodical walk forward with a high guard Crolla here it's Luke Campbell who has great hand speed and foot work and looked brilliant on the scales. All this may be a nightmare for Linares. I really like Linares he's a proper slick boxer but I'm going to go with my heart and say Campbell close on points.

    So you think Campbell's Glass Jaw is going to hold up?

    I don't think Linares is as good as some people make out but I'm not sure Campbell is ready for this, I hope he is though.

    i am a huge fan of Linares and when fight was made i thought it would be a walk over...

    However Campbell has improved a lot and looked really good on scales...If he can break up Linares rhythm i think Campbell could frustrate him and stop him late on with a massive bolo punch !!!!

    Campbell may be just getting Linares on a off night. A bit unlikely. He can't win on points but TKO is his best bet. If he hits Linares and he wobbles for a mili second he has to go all out and ampty the tank there and then as he may not get another chance in the fight. For me it all comes down to can Campbell punch hard enough and has he got the speed to match Linares to the punch.

    Can see Linares stopping him early tbh. Perhaps by brutal bodyshot.
