Main flaw here is 7th round. There is NO WAY IN HELL Linares won that round. Loma dominated. I had it very close ( albeit I was giving Linares a lot of gifts just to be safe) perhaps even a tie going into the 10th but there was no way to properly have Loma losing going into the 10th. Of course a tie at the end of the fight would have been a "loss" for Loma since Linares was defending his title. At worst it should have been 85-85. I would have to go back to review the 4th but I had Loma squarely winning it at the time.

I really hope our fighters. i.e. Kovalev, GGG and Loma realize the deck is stacked against them in close fights with corrupted judges. Hell, Kovalev and GGG experienced it in their fights. Every elite fighter should demand a say in the judges. I fear too many believe in their ability and believe the judges will call a fair fight.

I don't think Loma should go higher than 135. I was surprised at how much bigger Linares looked compared to him size wise.

I agree. If he does eventually go to 140, he should wait a few years to do it in order to give his body time to mature.
