Boxing: Jorge Linares vs Sergio Thompson April 1, 2012

Jorge Linares lost because of his injured forehead after his knock-down at the 2^nd round. Although Jorge Linares was stopped by technical knock-out, many dangerous blows were enough to beat him. Several years ago, Jorge Linares used to be considered as a candidate for the super-star of boxing. However, after his defeat of the battle with Juan Carlos Salgado, his fate got confused. Recently, Jorge Linares lost the title match of WBC lightweight championship by knock-out. Then today’s match means Jorge’s successive defeats. In fact Jorge Linares has good skill, which lets us know his high potential. But his boxing was too smart. Only smart technique is not enough to defeat someone. He may need a highly-charged atmosphere.
