Hes facing a tough vet in Oscar Larios whos one tough SOB but IMO hes pretty much past his best days. Can Larios put his experience together and pull out a vic. or will the younger faster fighter in Linares blast him out?

I think Larios has been showing signs of ware and tare for a while now and I think Linares speed and youth will prevail here. I don't think Linares is strong enough to stop Larios but he is young enoug and I also think he will show up in this fight and fix some of those little bad habits hes got. Not sure on this but it appears that the WBC has stripped InJi Chi of his belt and now it's up for grabs in this fight. How Jose determined that Larios and Linares where the top contenders for the belt is beyond me. ???
1st off Linares has been fighting at Super. Feather not Feather I think there were more worthy fighters who deserved a shot at the title.

Miguel Roman, Mario Santiago at least these 2 hold some type of WBC spin off belts.

Yeah I'm also leaning towards Linares. I think Larios best days are behind him

Last time I saw Larios fight was when...
Larios was so close to knocking Pacquiao to the canvas it wasn't even funny. Larios was so scared he didn't finish the job.

I'm gunna go against my better judgement and say Larios, because I want him to win and I believe there is still fight in the old dog yet. ;D

will it be a 1 sided win for linares? how many rounds to how many u think?

????

I favour Linares too but if Larios keeps the pressure up and keeps his work rate high like he has traditionally done so,it'll be difficult for Jorge. I'm a big fan of his and although he has his flaws,he is still young and has alot of time to develop. I'm going for Linares points.

I'm gonna go with Larios' greater experience to win out here

Larrios has pulled of a few suprises as well as a few comebacks, I'm hoping he still can.

I wanted to pick Linares but am going with experience over youth this time. But this could be the last loss for a long time for Linares.

so who wins this fight?anyone sure of the outcome?

I don't much about Mijares. But if Larios is in great condition,.. the same condition when he fought Pac physically and mentally, I would pick him to win by KO.

Lol...Mijares? ???

Lol Jorge Linares Bro!!

Young Venezuelan Cat..

I think that we have war on our hands lads ;) :)

I think Linares Tko 10.. I think he gets decked but wont stay down and that Linares will be hungry and busy enough to take a fading larios past it..

Larios is a great fighter..The type of fighter i wouldnt be mad at, only happy for if he pulls what seems now to be an upset.. But i think those brutal..But EEEENNNTTEERRRTAAIININGGG fights will have taken theyr toll..

LOL!

Peace

I went for Larios in the prediction comp but only because I know nothing about Linares whatsoever. I've never seen him fight, don't even know what he looks like or if he's black, white, South American or Asian?

So based on my extensive knowledge I'm going with Larios who I have at least seen fight a couple times.

But to be honest based on my recent form in the prediction comp I'd advise those of you who are backing Larios also to probably think about jumping ship :P
