Killed? That's a big call bro. Remember Salgado sparked him & DeMarco who ain't the fastest around was able to tag him
I see salgado-Linares as a lightning-in-a-bottle type of thing and I dont ever see Salgado beating him again.. Linares just got caught cold after miscalculating his guard..

DeMarco i give him alot of credit.. While he didnt have a high punch output, he put educated pressure on Linares and caught him with hard shots in between... sort of like what happened in Chavez-Taylor... Ultimately though, I think the freakish cut of Linares had alot to do with the way the fight turned out.. I mean, Linares was in total control and i believe he would have cruised to a clear decision if it wasn't for that rare cut... But anyway..

Gamboa is yet to show that kind of poise under pressure and I dont think he can do what DeMarco did..
