JORGE LINARES vs VASYL LOMACHENKO

-

Who wins at 135lbs and why?

MORGAN TC

This is a closer fight than some may think. Lomachenko would be new to the weight, which would be an advantage for Jorge. In the end, I think Lomachenko would take a competitiv­e but deserved decision. This fight interests me more then a fight between Linares and Mikey Garcia.

MICHAEL RAE FORMSTON

Linares is a wicked fighter, so it’s no foregone conclusion, but that chin has been cracked before. It’s got to be 60/40 in Lomachenko’s favour I reckon. Great fight though.

JOSHUA LUKE VEALL

Lomachenko. I don’t think there’s a fighter out there who can match his skill.

TOM BAYNHAM

Good test for Lomachenko, but he’s a different level and would stop Linares.

JULIAN CASTRO

I would have to say Linares. He impressed the hell out of me in the Crolla rematch.

GRAEME HIND

Amazing matchup. I’d take Lomachenko by late stoppage in an evenly matched, beautifull­y surgical back-and-forth battle.
