Comments Thread For: Flanagan: Time To Look at Big Fights and Big Money

The UK will have 2 LW belts if Crolla beats Perez next week. I hope he faces Magdaleno or Petrov next.

its total bullcrap why doesnt the wbo supervisor rule a draw, i know the promoters paying the ref so he's going to appease his master but realy, he's no champion he's beat nobody just like quigg. There must be a reason why warren always go's the wbo or wba routes rather than wbc, maybe he can get more influence etc.

The rules were pre determined. Injuries like a dislocated shoulder that result in a retirement are considered a loss. Its been the same in all fights (Vitali vs Byrd and Vitali vs Solis for example).

Its annoying and obviously Flanagan acted like a mug celebrating like that, but they arent going to overturn the decision

Personally I feel that Flanagan is no a legit champion.

It's not his fault, but he should offer a rematch first.

I still cant understand why the fight was not ruled a NC.

Flanagan got a gift last night, he needs to earn some respect.

Someone on another forum pointed out that ruling injuries a no contest would be an easy way out for any fighter who is losing and doesnt want to take the loss

Obvious thing to do would be for WBO to order an immediate rematch once Zapeda is ready. Or if Flanagan has lost by then, give him an immediate shot

What "big" fights are there for Flanagan?

Got the sense from yesterday that he's not very popular in Britian

Diego Magdaleno on HBO?

That makes sense to me.

I don't think Flanagan's celebrations and interview earned him many fans after last night.

Shame because it could have been a decent fight without the injury.

Yes after just 2 rounds...they both landed flush shots b4 Zepedas shoulder freakishly popped..I think TURBO TERRY was gonna best him..

wtf are you talking about? they were both feeling each other out, hardly any punches were even landed.
by round 2 all the bookies had made zepeda favourite...

What a pathetic situation this was. The man gets hurt in the second round and they rule in favor of Flanagan as if he did something to actually win. Should have truly been a NC and now this guy is acting like he won in some hard-fought war.

No it should have been a Flanagan win as per the rules
