Thread: Jorge Linares vs. Steven Luevano - How do you see that one going?

Ever since Luevano became a champ and a few weeks later Linares became champ I quickly started thinking about a possible fight between them?
What do you think, is that a fight we need to see happen?
or
Are the guys still a bit green and the fight needs to be cooked up a little longer with a possible fight at SFW?

Thoughts on how the fight would go if it happened?
Thoughts on should the fight be made now or should it be worked up to it?

I like Luevano. He's a local guy from La Puente. Good fighter. But I think Linares is to skilled for him. I think Linares stops him around the 8th round

Linares would KO Luevano like this...



...early rounds.

this would be an interesting fight Luevano is a cute fighter and Linares is very aggresive both guys have got bags of talent i tend to lean towards Linares but in his last few fights he has been hurt so i just dont know for me its a toss up.

Luevano's better than I thought he was but I think Linares is on just a bit higher level.

I would doubt he'd get a stoppage, Luevano's pretty solid defensively.

That being said, I've been following Linares progress for a while and as much as I like him I think the Diaz fight showed there are things he still needs to work on. Doesn't need to let the hype get to him.

I really saw Jorge Linares fighting and he is good and agressive boxer , i like him...........

I think Linares is real class. I think he's going to be an elite fighter, definitely better than Luevano.

Jaendeng floored Luevano. And I'm pretty sure Linares is more accurate and hits harder than Jaendeng.

Linares is just a little better in most categories and Luevanos lack of punching power but good boxing skills and a pretty good chin leads me to beleive this one goes the distance. Linares doesnt make many mistakes and has tremendous skills buthe can sometimes be complacent like he was with Diaz in his last fight at times. Definately would be the hardest fight of boths careers and an entertaining one.

More accurate definately, but i dont think he hits harder than Jaendeng. Jaendeng was a lot heavier on the night that they fought.

Jaendeng tagged JMM with his best shots (ya know how JMM vunerable with flash KD's right?). But the damage that JMM just received was a swollen eye but never went down against him. Trust me, Jaendeng hits hard, but difinitely not harder than Linares.

Lueveno gets knocked out if this happens

I'd have to go with Linares. Luevano is also very good technically but I think Linares is better.

I think its a good match-up & would like to see it happen soon. Luevano's defense would see him through to the final bell IMO

I think they both hit just as hard with Linares shots having a little more in them. But I don't think there's much of a difference in them.
