    Default Jorge Linares v Luke Campbell Sept. 23 HBO/Sky Sports

    Like the look of this one and nice to see it kicking off at the L.A Forum. Watched a little bit of Campbell and think he may have the frame to give Linares some tough spots, cuffing shots may help also but overall Linares would appear just way too well rounded at this stage. Crazy to think these two are only separated by 2 years in age as Linares has been through the grinder and come back to form. Campbell on the other hand is coming off possibly biggest win with great momentum, could be catching Linares at right time if he forces the issue.

    I like Campbell, it seems like he has been around for fucking ages, I couldn't believe it when I read that his loss came in 2015.

    I don't think he causes Linares any problems and think it'll be the 4th UK boxer that he defeats and it'll give Sky Sports to crawl even further up his arse, for some reason they absolutely adore him, I'm guessing that it is just because he keeps beating matchrooms fighters so they need to make him out to be invincible.

    Good fight though

    Linares will want Warrington next which would be another good pay day for him. He should give Eddie a discount for all his fighters he has beaten.

    This is another very good fight for 2017. Linares has to be the fave but theirs always that niggling that his skin or chin will let him down. I wouldn't be surprised at all with the upset here.

    Don't want to start a thread about it so this seems as good a place to ask as any.... What is up with the Flanagan/Verdejo fight, is that scrapped?

    Last I heard was that Flanagan was injured and Verdejo was taking a stay busy fight in the interim.

    Looks great on paper. Remember Linares was getting outboxed by Kevin Mitchell in spots not long ago (50-50 before Kev turned into the elephant man), Campbell has the rangy box style with a deceptive dig to make it interesting, especially when you factor in Jorges frailties.

    Ironically after spending so much time in England lately Linares has just moved to London and trains at Haye's gym, yet ends up finally being given a headline slot by Golden Boy/HBO in LA against a Brit.

    Good scrap this. I like Campbell and when he turned pro, I thought he would go all the way.
    Linares is a quality fighter and will probably be favourite, but if Campbell wants to get to the top , this is exactly the fight he needs to win. You never know.
    I'm looking forward to this. Yet another good fight for 2017.

    I don't fancy Campbell in this unless Linares starts leaking. It's a weird fight for HBO to show.

    Campbell was a great amateur but it is such a different game and Linares will make him work for scraps that other fighters would drop in his lap. Could be a small classic with such a balance of skill sets. Linares should have too much for him but I think like you said Campbells reach and style may be all wrong for him.

    Linares is awesome technician and been brilliant for years just had some minor lapses. He is on a good run and only Garcia can beat him at the weight.

    Be interested to see how they fill out the card. Surely they have to playing catchup with cards as the Mayweather carnival on Showtime ppv is going to eclipse the Cotto fight the same night on regular HBO. Odd when you think about it that Linares some 15+ years in will be on it's air for the very first time.

    Campbell has improved vastly since the Mendy fight.
