I think Dejan would have beaten Linares because of his style, I think Linares is the better fighter. Crolla vs Dejan is interesting, depends if Crolla can take his power at the time it would have been 50-50 for me, but the way Dejan handled burns was way more convincing than how Crolla handled him. If you had to pick one who would you pick, I would pick Dejan personally eventhough Crolla upset my Barroso pick.
Pac was even too small for 130. As soon as he got to 130 he lost his 1 punch power. But Pac is one of the greatest and a high standard. Which we shouldn't hold regular fighters too. But since Loma is ****ing hyped up perhaps we should expect him to be held to that standard.
I think Crolla is an overachiever who at times can really shine(Linares I and Barroso). Hard to pick against him if he is dealing with someone who seems to be close to his level. I think Linares would have handled Dejan. Dejan had a predictable rhythm and no real defense. He would just always step and lean on his front leg. Step and lean. Being it as a defensive move or offensive. This is why Garcia tagged him so easily. He instantly figured out where Dejan's head was going to be. And Linares was able to time Loma. To me it shows that he would have been able to time Dejan. Linares is B level. Dejan/Burns/Crolla are all C or even lower.
When competing at the world class level, Pac hardly ever was a 1 punch KO guy. It was always accumulation. At 147 was where he wasn't as effective anymore.
Linares is barely B level. Crawford went up in weight and destroyed the guy that just beat Pac. Loma went life and death and was nearly KO'd by a guy who needed a gift against Luke Campbell lol... Crawford clear p4p number 1.
Life and death? Dude got careless and suffered a flash KD (got up immediately, no stumble or janky legs) and came back to stop that ass.
Tell me... When was Lomachenko ever badly hurt, doing the janky leg, and clinching for dear life against a much, much smaller opponent?
Surely you're not talking about Salidos daddy Gamboa... Crawford was barely even buzzed and bodied him a round later. Loma was dropped like a sack of spuds against feather duster Linares. No comparison.
Linares can’t deal with pressure, and one thing decision can do is go to the body. He has a typical Mexican style, like a Salido without a good a defence or chin, I don’t rate Linares power, if you sit on his chest you can KO him, Demarco, Thompson even Loma showed he can be worned down.
