Jorge Linares knocks out Carlos Morales

[Maestro]

Linares (47-5, 29 KO) dominated the fight when he went against Morales (19-5-4, 8 KO) in the Garcia-Fonseca card. There was a head clash during the first round and Linares suffered a cut but that did not deter him. He picked things up in the second round and preceded to drop Morales in the third round, and then again in the fourth round. After that referee Thomas Taylor had to end the fight with a win for Jorge Linares.

Linares has shown a lot of improvement and I think that is partially because his brother is now his trainer. I know when you think of elite fighters, you don't immediately think of Morales, but he is nonetheless a badass! And I have never seen him stopped like he was by Linares.
Ryan Garcia is a potential opponent for Linares, which is an idea that a lot of people if not everyone has fallen in love with, and I would really love to see it happen.

I really thought Carlos Morales was done for when Jorge Linares dropped him withat right hook in the third, but to my surprise he still manage to salvage some energy and got back up.

Of course it did not last long because Linares used his speed, despite being fours years older than Morales, to put him on the floor again in the fourth.

Also, Linares is like one of the best fighters when it comes to studying an opponent. I would not say he is as fast as Garcia, or that he has a reach as great as Garcia's, but he is a big threat to the so often exposed chin of Ryan Garcia!

 

[Maestro]

Yeah, I also feel like Alexis Rocha would be the perfect opponent for Ryan Garcia at this point. I have been hearing a lot of people daring Garcia to call out Tank, but I think that is a bad idea.
Ryan Garcia is not yet ready for Tank, imo.

 

[Hova]

At this juncture, Jorge Linares is the right opponent for Garcia. Two or three more fights and Garcia will be ready for Tank.

 

[Maestro]

So me people would say throw Garcia in the deep end (i.e against Tank) and watch him get tested! That would actually build up his character.

 

[Hova]

It would also get his ass whooped!!

If it does, then this will definitely be the best year in boxing history, jk. But it will be up there among the great historical times in boxing.

There is no doubt about that.
