Linares will demolish Levuano..unless you were impressed with Levuanos ability to get back up from a KD.. "I am not impressed by his performance"
Linares by late TKO. Leuvano has good skill but weak chin and Linares power volume and skill will likely end up carrying the day. If linares hurts Leuvano? He will finish him.
Teiken Promotions were trying to make a deal with Top Rank to unify the WBC and WBO Titles although they rejected the offer. I think Bob Arum knows like every one else does Steven Leuvano would seriously get hurt.
luevano's performance against santiago was not impressive. i thought santiago won that fight. linares will ko him inside 10
luevano's last three fights have almost similar plots. luevano started blazing and gets the early rounds. having some trouble in the middle rounds (being staggered or kd'ed). and would control the last few rounds for a decision win. in santiago's case, he was almost beaten. i feel that a draw is really a fair call. in a fight with linares, i can see either two scenarios. luevano started boxing beautifully in the early rounds and linares would get to him in 6th to 9th rounds and ko's him for good or linares getting to luevano very early and knocks luevano's shaky chin in 2 to 3 rounds. either way, linares by ko.
Luevano still has unfinished buisness with Santiago who I though edged the fight fight but I have no quams with the draw. Extremely entertaining fight btw.
Linares without a a doubt in my mind, Luevano doesn't have the speed or the power to stop Linares, Santiago is a poor defensive boxer and still got the draw against Luevano. I think Luevano is an average fighter, not saying he is bad but is not in the same level as Linares.
