Linares got caught against Slagado. His skin gave out against DeMarco. And I think the stoppage in the Thompson fight was a bad one. Either way DeMarco wins 74% of his fights by knock out. Salgado 61%. Thompson 86%. Mitchell got stopped without controversy in 4 against Ricky Burns. A fighter with a 29% stoppage rate.
So Linares can get caught but Mitchell can't? Linares looked f-cked in the Thompson fight, the cut saved him from an early nap Going by your percentages Mitchell's 70% should be worrying

I agree Linares should win but his chin and his tendency to cut will always be a liability
