Off Topic Campbell vs Lomachenko

What happened to Linares who he was edged out by a couple of years ago?

 

He wasn’t unlucky. He was beaten by a better boxer. No disgrace in that.

 

I bet your favourite boxer is Herbie Hide.

 

There's a joke about vegetables and being on Herbie's side in there somewhere.

 

That’s a fair summation, but you know what I meant

 

There's a subtle difference between being beaten and losing. He can be proud of himself, especially given the odds the bookies reckoned he was worth.

 

Killing vegetables?

 

You have lost.

 

I know. Many is the Saturday night that I have consoled myself with the thought that City weren’t beaten but lost.

 

I have won.

 

Linares was KO by Lomo about a year ago. Although Linares dropped Lomo in the mid-rounds.
