Looking forward to the inevitable glut of enlightened comments from our American cousins.

Decent test for Flanagan. He's still to genuinely prove himself at world level IMHO. Hopefully he'll get through this one and then target a unification with Linares.

cruz is absolutely not ranked #2. hes #30 something in the world at 130 and unranked at 135. cruz beib my favorite fighter outta puerto rico, im excited for this matchup, but flannagan aint gonna have any problem with him. i totally dig cruzs ambition and hes got some great boxing skills, and id LUV an upset, but its a real long shot.

You mean Emile Griffith.

But yes, he wouldn't be the first openly gay champion.

That seems to be the selling point they're pushing, and it's not true.
