At MSG right now this fight was lit!!!

I'm jealous! Post pic!!!!! Electric!

[JCS]

Loma is a beast!

Whoa. Punk twyg sighting!!

[diddy]

Lomo was down on 1 card and even on another. Jesus.

I had him up by three at that point. Homers no doubt.

[diddy]

Linares is COVERED in zits. COVERED. Look at his shoulders!

[oogiebe]

well, I'm convinced now. Loma is truly a monster.

[SenorPipino]

I walk back my comment.

I saw the flurry of head shots but missed the body blow.

You walk back? I posted concern that Loma needed to get busier or else...and wham! I running it back!

Well it ain't effin easy to watch and post at the same time. The body shot was somewhat hidden.

Too bad for Linares. He wasn't going to win but he put up a decent effort and probably would have been more marketable even in defeat if he lasted 12.

Interesting that I hear right now that the fight was even at the time of the KO.

I had Lomachenko up 6-3 or by 2 points with the knockdown.

Yeah...the scoring was 'questionable' at best. I had Loma up three, despite the knockdown.

Linares is COVERED in zits. COVERED. Look at his shoulders!

I see flabby guys in tank tops here in SoCal all the time with their upper back and shoulders covered in zits.

From the look of their physiques, few of them are using anything remotely like PEDS.

[jamamb]

linares fought very well but no way should that have been an even fight, and the card for him is very bad

[Cent0089]

I dont understand why they talk about rematch. That fight wasnt even close. Linares makes some rounds close, plus that knockdown was big lesson for Lomachenko, but cmon, Jorge did not won more than 2 rounds. IMO time for Loma to back to 130 for now and hunt fights with Davis and Berchelt. Linares was sooo BIG

100% agree. I'm a Linares fan, and I had Loma up by three.

Great fight: one of the best in a long time

Mega props to Linares: he fought like a champion and was a class-act after the fight.

I'd love to see a rematch: this is like Zale-Graziano all over again. Two of the best.

Very good fight and a great finish by Loma, that liver shot looked an absolute killer.

I had him up at the time of the stoppage but not by as much as a lot of people on here.

The fight was fought at a high pace from the start which was always going to suit Loma, but Linares was competetive throughout.

[Evander]

Timing of that seemed odd, almost like he was meant to go down in that round very peculiar.
Linares was getting peppered by shots but didn't seem as bothered by the power more than he was the volume.
Clear win for Lomachenko he won the fight clean.
Linares looked to have more fight in him, he decked Lomachenko hurt him to the body but was forced back by the accuracy and overwhelming amount of blows Lomachenko threw.
Even though Linares was way behind on my card he was still in the fight and the possibility existed he could potentially turn it around because there were moments albeit brief ones when Lomachenko looked either vulnerable or signaled where his weakness were located.
Good fight I enjoyed it.

[Ruthless-RKO]

A lot of close rounds but before rd 19, I had Loma up 87-83

At the same time, the officiak 3 judges:

86-84 Linares
84-86 Lomachenko
85-85 Even

[Ruthless-RKO]

Some will say.. what body shot? Lol

Question: Did you ever get hit in the liver? Or near it? If not, let me tell you, it is absolutely paralyzing.

Are those guys 30+ years old?

It was hard to see in real matrix speed time. But the replay showed a superbly placed liver shot.
