Jorge Linares vs. Sergio Thompson on FOX

[Mars_ax]

I am surprised Linares took this fight, his cuts needed time to heal. This reminds me of Eubanks fighting too soon against Carl Thompson for their rematch as his eye had not had enough time to recover from the swelling. It led to the only time he was ever stopped.

It's been 5 1/2 months since the DeMarco fight, the cuts/swelling should have been totally healed by the time he stepped in the ring against Thompson. From what I could tell, mentally and physically he looked nothing like the Linares we saw before the DeMarco fight. Sergio Thompson was suppose to be a relatively easy comeback fight, only someone forgot to tell Sergio.

At this point you've gotta wonder if Linares will ever be able to turn his career around and/or compete at the championship level again, right now it doesn't look like it.

Damn over 5 months already! Remember Linares coming up and becoming a champion, think against Medina, he looked awesome with a very bright future. Look how sad things have turned out.

It's it's a bit of a shock actually, before the DeMarco fight everyone thought Linares was the next big thing.

Thompson ain't getting a shot at DeMarco

Thompson ain't getting a shot at DeMarco

Probably true, but who do you think will? Not sure what other big fights are out there for any of those guys tbh... Who am I missing that deserves a crack, seems like noone can make 135 anymore

I think Lundy or Molina are DeMarco's best options, would love to see him fight Vasquez.
