Jorge Linares stopped in round 1 in Tokyo...

[generalbulldog]

Wow, what a shocker.

On a side note I love how the Jap announcers are so into the boxing matches.

[BoomBoom]

Shocking, yes, but there were some signs that something like this could happen. Linares is a good technical boxer, but he needs space to think. Linares was very uncomfortable with Gamaliel Diaz and Oscar Larios when they pressured him. He was unraveling at times during those fights. He can come back from this, but he needs to needs to learn to deal with aggressive opponents better.

[BoomBoom]

And the sound that punch made was amazing

[Youngblood]

Sweet left hook.

Awesome punch. Linares had guts getting up and going on, but he looked cooked.

Khan, Ortiz & now Linares?? I was high on Ortiz & Linares, I thought they will be the future. The good thing is that Linares lost to an undefeated Fighter. Now Salgado will be in the Map & he is a strong looking kid.

My suggestion to Salgado, Never sign with Golden Boy!!! Pick Toprank!!

[OumaFan]

When he was first coming up I was real high on him but I thought the hype got a bit out of control after the Larios fight. Not that I stopped thinking he could be a top guy or anything, far from it but BoomBoom is right the Diaz fight is remembered by most for the perfect one punch KO he had but he showed some vulnerabilities there, and he was hurt there so his chin has to have question marks. I still think he could get back into the picture though.

Plus his career has been kind of stop and start with injuries and so forth. He needs to get right back in there although not against this guy who may have something.

Wow.Did not see that coming.Wouldn't call him chinny,just cold.All of the layoffs caught up maybe.Was out on his feet.Far better than a prolonged drubbing

It's not actually that surprising, boxing is one of the top sports over there.

Amazed Linares went down like that, although it just confirms to me Soto would have had him up. Golden Boy must be pissed though

[Violent Demise]

While I did not expect him to win I did think Salgado was going to be competitive. He was more than competitive. I had been waiting for Salgado to step up in competition to see how good he really was. He's obviously very good

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

Wow totally dint see that comin...hook went right around his guard.

[WelshDevilRob]

Shocker of a result. Linares caught cold.

[skel1983]

Huge upset Linares was 1/25 on!!

[No Contest]

Whats with Golden Boy, seems like they sign a prospect and they lose. Didnt that just happen with Ortiz, was Khan GBP when he lost to Prescott?
