He beat up Ricky Burns in an upset. He's beat Peter Petrov and he recently knocked out Ivan Redkach in another upset. He's the mandatory for Linares' belt. Will he knock him out?

But i believe Linares will raise his game up a notch after becoming the Champ after so many failures.
I believe Linares will remain as champion for awhile. He has worked too hard to earn this title.
I actually would love to see the mitchell rematch.
Lol im watching Dejan right now and ive came to a conclusion that he has no chance in hell at beating Linares. Id like to take back my past statement regarding the upset.
He is one step up from a midget and linares has too much range for oompa loompas like him.
Easy fight for Linares.
They picked him for poor Burns comeback after the Crawford loss and everyone thought Burns was finished because he struggled with him. Nice matchmaking (:D).
He's a tough fight for anyone at lightweight. Looked good last time out.
He knows how to fight short. He looked terrific beating up Ivan Redkach in his last fight. Linares has problems in the later rounds and Dejan can punch. In any event, it is a fun fight on paper. I wonder if Linares will swerve him.Quote:

Linares will face Zlatincanin within 90 days. I really thought Golden Boy was going to swerve Dejan, but no, which surprises me. I like Zlaticanin to bust up Linares in this fight to a late round stoppage or undisputed win on the cards.
I like Linares but Dejan is top quality and will beat him.
Good fight. Burns was able to outbox Dejan at times, he has a stronger chin than Linares though. If Linares doesn't get himself ironed he wins. Interested to see the odds.
Haven't seen Dejan, but Linares is a wild card man, it's easy to say he should have beaten everyone he's lost too when you see him in good form. Surprised that he's only 30 as well, remember hearing about how good he was when I first started posting here.
I think this just comes down to whether Linares can evade the big shot to the chin and whether his skin holds up, leaning towards Linares UD but Dejan kould also ktfo him out but think Linares will box well enough to win.

I would be delighted with a Zlaticanin win! It's a very real possibility. The guy has been impressive. I like Linares too so I'm good with a win for either.Quote:
