Jorge Linares TKO'd In One Round By Salgado

Juan Carlos Salgado of Mexico knocked out Jorge Linares of Venezuela in the first round Saturday to take the WBC super featherweight title.

Salgado sent Linares to the canvas with a left to the head just 1 minute, 13 seconds into the bout at Yoyogi National Gymnasium.

Salgado, who was making his first attempt at a major title, improved to 22-0-1 (16 KOs) while Linares suffered his first professional loss to slip to 27-1 (18 KOs). Linares had held the belt since beating Oscar Larios in July 2007, and defended it with knockouts of Gamaliel Diaz, Whyber Garcia and Josafat Perez.

Upset in my book although not huge. Pretty nice KO also.

I feel sorry for Linares he's looked like a talented kid in the past and was impressive against Barrios hopefully he can bounce back from it better and stronger.

Still I can't help but smile because Golden Boy just splashed out on signing him recently/

I never believed the hype on Linares really.we had some idiots in the espn forum saying he was an ATG in the making.Valero will be next to get exposed.
