WBC/RING/LINEAL Lightweigt championship

Nice to read some good matchups are being made this week.

Great match.the fans will love it.

Linares is a skilled boxer but I don't know if that chin holds up for twelve rounds. If odds are anything close to reasonable i would be zlanticanin.

Zlaticanin for me by stoppage. Good fight though, looking forward to it.

Lightweight is one of the few divisions without a clear number 1.
This fight helps in clearing the situation up.
I'd fancy Zlaticanin by late stoppage.

But this is Linares so ANYTHING can happen.

Linares is so damn good. One of the most skilled men in all of boxing, I reckon. But his chin, his skin.... If Zlaticanin's chin is good, which it's looked thus far, he might score a stoppage late. I'm thinking Linares goes to the body often and stops him late, however.
