Just watched the fight on youtube. Got caught flush and really was out on his feet after the 1st knockdown. Shocking defeat for Linares.

After I said that Linares would lose due to him signing with Golden Boy, Paul wrote:
"The difference is that Linares is for real...The kid's got skill and maturity beyond his age...His problem is in staying healthy, but if he can keep his shoulder in shape, he should be able to overcome the Golden Boy curse... "
Did I call it or what?

That's another money making idea Paul, not only is there big profits in a "Recovery Center for hallucinating referees and Judges, but we can also sell "Anti-MoJo" chains and bracelets to boxers that will break these types of spells and curses. I hope Margarito doesn't catch on first, he'll probably beat us to the punch by making curse breaking plaster cast medallions with silver bullet inserts on the knuckles.

LOL I have no doubt that Margarito is in Tijuana right now having some witch doctor whip up a magic charm to get his license back...

Everyone gets caught sometime.Might Linares' chin be suspect?I don't remember him taking on any big punchers until this one.

What's a bummer is that in the youtube video it looks like he has his hands up properly when he gets tagged. I guess the punch just went right around his guard. How frustrating it must be to be doing things correctly and still get floored.
