Comments Thread For: Linares: I Want To Continue, To Keep Working - Ref Stopped It!

[LacedUp]

It was up to linares in the moment to show the ref, he didn’t. Beautiful fight, legendary night - and one helluva left to the liver.

I personally think Lomachenko is one of the best, if not the best, boxer I’ve ever seen.

Linares wasn't willing to continue.

He had had enough.

Mikey Garcia, get ready to rumble !!!!

Linares should hold his head high! Great fight! Linares vs. Comney! Make it happen!

the word "quit" seems harsh for this situation but technically speaking, it was a quit by linares because he got up and then signaled to the ref he didnt wanna continue by bending down

Exactly what i see!!

it wasn't an early stoppage. Once you keeled over from the liver shot at 9, it was over.

Add Lineal to that

Lol he beat the count he obviously didn’t quit. Just because he wasn’t raging at the refs decision at the time of the stoppage that doesn’t mean he quit.its not like that would’ve changed the refs mind anyway

So do you think that it's a robbery!!??

[Tricky-Pablo]

Bumachnko can only win against quitters, not sure why you fan boys hyped this bum linares so much? We saw what his dad Salido did to him, firstly salido wasn't a quitter secondly he was probably not paid enough to throw the fight like the rest of the bums bumachenko has faced...meh time to move on..enough of this rubbish fight.

Thank you for your expertise!! Why do yo think those guys Quit!!??

Nope I feel he could’ve continued but the ref made his decision and I’m not that mad at it tbh. I’ve seen much worse stoppages. Robbery is a bit strong

I really enjoyed the fight. Two top class fighters going at it from the start with quality movement and excellent combinations. Loma was winning the fight in my opinion because he was more accurate. Linares fought a really good fight and the knockdown was a great right hand. Its harsh to say he quit because the body shot was perfect and obviously very painful. Well done to both of them and i wouldnt mind seeing it again.

Good point!! Good or bad stoppage!!?
