Ryan Garcia vs Jorge Linares possible for July 4th

On what basis are people picking Garcia to take this? The fact that Linares is past his prime?

He showed in his last fight that he still has his hand speed and athleticism

There's a big difference between KO'ing unranked no-hopers, and a guy who's won World titles in 3 divisions and went 9 competitive rounds with Loma not so long ago
