SHOCK DEFEAT! Jorge Linares suffers first-round stoppage defeat to Pablo Cesar Cano 23,206 views

Broner would have brutalized the chinny Linares worse than he brutalized Linares conquerer, DeMarco. Broner was an A level guy at the weight. If Loma was having trouble with Linares, he'd have been up **** creek against a lightweight Broner. The ignorance of some on these forums is laughable.

 

you seem to be unable to face the reality of the situation. your every post is apologetic on behalf of loma, agreeing only with the same several people who built linares up in the first place. you seem to be interested in boxing as a whole and not just your crushes, so i would suggest you take a step back and try some plain ole honesty.

 

I think it could just be a fluke. I never seen Linares drop like that. He had nothing in him.
Time will tell.

 

Debatable. I think Broner would have stopped Linares at 135.

 

Lomachenko: I'll fight him in one year.
Lomachenko: I'll only fight him at a catchweight. Maybe 137.
Lomachenko: 135 or no fight.
Lomachenko: No fight! He's old and does nothing for my career! ::: fights Crolla :::

 

Linares is quality but never on the elite end. Sure he was the #1 Lightweight, just happens Lightweight was literally the worst or one of the worst divisions in the sport at the time.

He is and has been overrated. Because while you can say he would beat most fighters in the division at any given time during his career, you can also point to a seemingly random dude (power, chin, stamina) far down the rankings with comparably limited skills and say, "that guy would beat Linares" and be correct.

 

I still don't see how Cano fits into this.
