Linares looked good but Crolla made it really easy for him. He just plodded forward and wasn't throwing anything troublesome. I can't see Linares standing up to Garcia's power for very long and Garcia has great feet/judgement of distance and won't get caught by too many combinations. Linares runs out of steam quickly too. That was easily his biggest problem on Saturday night, he slowed down a lot in the second half and was pacing himself. He did come out to AC/DC though so god bless him for that.
I really want to see Garcia versus Lomachenko. Maybe a year from now if it happens at all but it's the best fight I can think of in boxing.
