Is Linares having back acne?

[apollo creed]

Some pimples on his right shoulder and his back?

See, you spot a few pimples and you guys have a ready excuse if Linares torches Lomachenko.

"A few pimples" ? "A lot of pimples" obviously.
Something is wrong, definitely.
Linares will not do anything against Loma (with or without pimples),
The only dilemma for me is UD or KO/TKO.

It's obvious that those are not a 'few' pimples!

I think Linares will impose his size, weight and strenght in this fight. He's gonna try to bulldoze Lomachenko.

[SenorPipino]

Nah, pimples or not, Linares is going to try and be tricky.

Coming straight forward will get him tagged and countered all night.

Look for him to try and use his reach and make it a boxing match.

Maybe if Linares gets desperate in the late rounds, he turns on the aggression, but I don't see him using that strategy initially.

Shades of JMM. Roids or not, Loma will school him although I do like Linares and probably Loma’s hardest fight.

I suspect Linares would be like 155-160 lbs in the fight night.

He has the same GB "nutrition specialist" as Clenbnelo.

not sure about that, i dont think hes a massive lw, just that lomas not big for 135 (maybe even on the small side) and therefore makes linares seem big there

Laughable to suggest anyone under 140 lbs can outbox Lomo. He’s just too god damn good. You need to maul him on the inside and push him around. That’s not how Linares fights. Loma won’t lose until he fights someone like Mikey Garcia, at minimum.

An interesting fight down the road could be Lomachenko vs Devin Haney if the kid continues his upward trajectory and Loma doesn’t dare to go above 135. If a smaller guy is gonna outbox Loma he needs to be extremely fast, elusive and composed. Haney could be that guy eventually. He’s a ++ athlete. Linares is not that guy. He will get hit too often.

I doubt he will be above 150. 155 would be absolute tops. It doesn’t matter much if he’s not using the weight to lean on Vasyl and tie him up. That’s not how Linares fights. Linares is a technician.
