He'd need to show me something more than what he has so far to beat linares. The only arguement I can make is freshness, but I'm really clutching at straws

Linares is a little bit vulnerable himself....

Also like CE Jnr - have you considered workrate?

Also to my knowledge this fight hasn't been made?

I think he'd need more than work rate to beat him. Linares looked really sharp against crolla I thought.

I'm not aware this has been made either

Campbell outboxes him & stops him in the 9th.

Probably not going to happen but I'm sticking with that

Is campbell really that much an underdog????

Watch the last Crolla fight, he was awesome in that fight, made it look easy.

Hearn has said he's working on it for September or December...

Linares just gets better and better.
No less speed and his skill set just gets more and more impressive.
I think Garcia is the only guy right now that would give him a decent challenge.

Jorge Linares Return Eyed For September 23, Campbell Not Next - http://www.BS.com/jorge-linare ... xt--118244

Luke Campbell could appear on the same bill as Jorge Linares to set the scene for WBA title fight - http://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12 ... rce=Direct

Apparently the WBA have ordered this fight. They have 30 days to negotiate, starting today.

Linares 1000 times out of 1000

That's why Linares is living in the UK and training here - must have been planning for this and knows the big money fights are here in the UK - he's had 3 good pay days here with Mitchell and Crolla x2.

Embarrassing.....

Darleys Perez had not fought at the weight for 15 months then suddenly the WBA ranked him at 1 then the Campbell fight was announced.
Hearn has done a terrible job with Luke Campbell's career IMO.

He is one of the most successful amatuers ever from this country yet has been moved on so slowly. I like Tommy Coyle but Campbell should have been fighting him in his first 5-6 fights.

Top level amatuers should be at world level in 10-12 fights for me. IE Usyk, Gvozdyk etc

Wonder if Linares-Campbell lands as the headliner on Haye's first show, akin to Hearn letting O'Hara out on C5.

Given Haye and his stable are all with Salas now too.

Wonder if Linares-Campbell lands as the headliner on Haye's first show, akin to Hearn letting O'Hara out on C5, or some sort of co-promotion. Haye's got some Olympians and Hearn loves them too.

There's got to be something workable with all the relevant parties here, they're already kind of intertwined.

Go on, which three voted for Campbell?

This forum becomes more casual by the day.

I can't see anything other than a conclusive Linares win if this happens, possibly even a stoppage. I can't remember the Perez fight too well but didn't Campbell start off pretty slow and lose the opening rounds? He wouldn't get away with that against Linares

Very much doubt it - how would Dave's fee cover the purse for Linares/Campbell ?

That'll be chief support on PPV or Hull on Sky.

Hearn put Linares vs. Crolla, champ vs. champ on regular Sky.
Got to think Linares vs. Campbell will be doable on regular Sky also unless it goes on as co-main to the Joshua vs. Klit rematch...

I think he has been moved well enough for his ability, he was a far better amateur than he is a pro IMO

I guess I'm on the minority team too.
Luke is such a likeable chap, I'm backing the under dog. Another 4-5 carefully made fights and he could go for a belt

This is throwing him in the deep end, most out of character for Eddie to do.
Sometimes people step up when faced with adversity... Poor bugger.
I'm with ya Lukie!!

I did. I think he can do .

I've sat at ringside (well, about 40 feet back, what with me being causal and all) and watched Linares lose so I know it can happen.

I think many are clouded by the Mendy loss which was a blessing in disguise for Campbell.

I believe in Luke

I'd have liked to have seen Campbell win because I thought he was gonna be a special talent when he turned over but it's looking as if I was wrong on that one. That being said I'm a big fan of Linares and I think it'll be a straight forward nights work for him.

Mitchell almost had him as well in the o2 as well - certainly had him hurt.

How anyone can think Campbell can win is unbelievable

You don't have to vote.

I like wesshaws polls, I find it interesting what other people think about potential match-ups

I find it interesting that right now it is 17 votes to 1 in Linares favour, an almost dead cert, and you can get 2/5 betting on the fight.
A license to print money if you ask me...

Well...
Linares has a lot of miles on the clock, and may struggle with LC's length and accuracy. Add in the home advantage of a Matchroom fighter in the UK ( ) and I think the odds are about right. Linares would be my 'who wins' pick, but it's no foregone conclusion.
Boxing well to the right game-plan and Campbell is a tricky nights work for anyone.
