Linares lost a tune up fight against Sergio Thompson. Doctor stopped the fight after a cut opened up in the second round after Linares had already been dropped.

Kelly Pavlik won on in his come-back fight with a 2nd round TKO.

Don't think pavlik will ever be as good as he once was though

feel really sorry for Linares, he's a talented young fighter with great handspeed, but his career is in tatters now. Not seen the fight yet but from reports his eye opened up incredibily easy and was a bloodied mess. Looks like the scar tissue from the brutal & bloody fight with De Marco may have left lasting damage, and it's unlikely we'll see a rematch with DeMarco.

It was hard to tell how good Pavlik was because that guy just walked into left hooks. He could have continued after the second knockdown but he was obviously just there for a pay day with no intention of winning.

As for Burns apparently Mitchell is asking for too much money.

Strange Mitchell asking for more as burns clearly brings more to the table. By opinion on the fight if/when it happens is Mitchell to win by KO but what Mitchell will turn up is the big question. Either way it will be a cracker

Burns easily on points if it happens dont know why every rates Mitchell so high but burns so low.

i would edge towards Burns taking this 1, but Mitchell is no mug. Hes only lost 1, and his win over Murray was very impressive.

Mitchell shouldnt be dictating any terms though, Burns is holding all the cards here as a world title holder, Mitchell also had his title shot vs Katsidis and got KO'd, where as Burns grabbed it with both hands - so Kevin has to ask himself, where does he go if he doesnt get a fight with Burns?

Wouldn't call it a KO more a TKO Mitchells head was clearly somewhere else that night. But your right on where he can go if he fails to get a shot at burns. (tu)

On another note. If this fight doesn't come off I would like to think burns would fight a top fighter in the division like Vazquez or De Marco
