Campbell much better than I expected. This fight is super close.

I have Linares up 96-93 thru 10 but he could easily be behind on the cards.

106-102 JL

Same as Lederman. Which means Campbell is ahead thru 11.

116-111 JL

Can’t see my way to 7 rounds for Campbell. Knockdown should be the difference.

Solid effort for Campbell but he definitely lost.

Linares clearly won the last 2 rounds to ice the fight for me.

115-112 Linares for me

Proper decision. 115-113 Campbell is a poor card. Shockingly the Scottish judge gave it to Campbell. I’m stunned.

Didn't you also say that Parker couldn't win a decision in the UK against Fury?

Close call, but I kept my perfect run of picks for the weekend intact. Good fight.

Campbell talking garbage there. He didn't outclass Linares. It was a close fight though, but Linares deserved the win.

Not surprised. He fought the last few rounds like he thought he had it in the bag. I mean...his problem for reading the fight so wrong, but he genuinely felt he had it won.

How would you see Linares-Garcia going? I think Garcia stops him.

Yeah I'd favor Mikey stop Linares. It'll be competitive early going, but ultimately I think Linares is too vulnerable, and Garcia would be able to either stop him outright or bust him and stop him over the long haul.

Maybe it'd go the distance, but I'd favor Garcia by some form of stoppage myself.

Linares has definitely had a solid run as Champion though. He was a hot prospect that kinda got written off at one point, but he's bounced back to have a respectable career after all no matter what happens from here.

Either that or dominant decision.

Good fight, gave Linares the last three to pull it out 115-113. 5th even.

I’m shocked Parker got such a wide nod in England but if you really think about it probably makes sense in that Parker vs Joshua makes more dollars in England as Parker is a more bankable commodity. If the best heavyweight in the world wasn’t a Brit I would be much more surprised by this. They’ll be serving Parker up to Joshua after he beats Pulev.

I think they're going for Joshua/wilder. Parker Vs haye or bellew.

Lousy day for UK boxing.

Lousy in the sense that Fury and Campbell both lost. I am not referring to the talent of either.

Didn't Parker say that he is moving to the U.K. ? That plus more exciting boxing style and more likable personality probably immediately make him more marketable than Fury.

Thanks for explaining, lol, luke is better than almost all of the Brits on here thought. That's a good day in my eyes. I've never watched Hughie so I can't comment, but he's clearly not a national hero.

Not hurting anything though. I don't think the U.K. has ever had a more steady run of Champions and Championship caliber fighters than they have now, and Boxing overall is as hot there as it is anywhere on the planet.

Could it not have been three straight judges calling as they saw it with no ulterior agenda? Sorry I know that's a pretty radical concept. I thought Parker deserved to retain the title but I think the judge that had it a draw was closer to my scorecard.

Linares v Campbell was an excellent contest which I felt could have gone either way. Linares won the rounds more convincingly but after the knockdown I thought Campbell was settling into it and put together a number of rounds where I thought he edged them. I've no complaints about the decision though there wasn't much in it.
