Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares, Terry Flanagan Trade Words - Call For Unification

[FinitoxDinamita]

Linares' bum tour should come to an end now. Im tired of seeing him against these British cans. Its time for a real fight.

Flanagan should be the last victim before heading into a mega bout for all the marbles.

Terry is a big lightweight with good reach and technique. Too bad he has a fear of travel, he's more turtle than turbo. Las Vegas is a huge income stream, lose that small pond stigma.

Linares Vs Flanagan,, Garcia Vs Easter winner face eachother to Unify....in a perfect world

Easter won't fight Garcia because Garcia beat Easter jr mentor, Broner.

He's going to run thru every light hitting european he can. He says he wants to fight Mikey but he calls out those light hitting europeans. The Mikey fight will make big money and sell better than a fight with Flanagan.

I been keeping up with this whole situation since Mikey won the WBC title. Linares has been calling out Mikey and the WBC obliged Mikey on facing Broner when team Garcia requested an extension instead of just right out vacating because that would look like a duck ; its garcia that hasn't made ONE defense at 135 against his mando ( Jorge Linares) not the other way around -- He moves up to lightweight and immediately jumped to 140 so the facts are against you haters.

He has not been calling out Mikey. The reason Mikey fought Broner was because Linares didn't want the fight after Crolla II which Showtime broadcast & had Mikey in the studio. You think Showtime bought that fight because Linares is a ratings monster? No, it was to set up Linares vs Garcia. When the Campbell fight was signed Linares then said he'd fight Mikey. He said after the Crolla fight He went on vacation and wasn't thinking about boxing that's why he'd been so quiet. Just like after this fight He said he'd fight Mikey but he's perusing Flanagan.

I think you forget Campbell was the mandatory, and why wouldn't Showtime want to showcase the lightweight unified champion of the world? Linares was just on HBO vs. Cambpell! you act like hes a bum and act like hes not mandatory to Garcia, neglecting the fact that its been Mikey the one that cant decide what he wants to do with his career! talking about fighting Cotto?! Crawford, Thurman FOH!

HBO didn't even show the first Crolla fight. Why do you think Showtime picked up an afternoon fight between two relatively unknown fighters in the states & brought Mikey into the studio to comment on said fighters in his weight class? Linares even admitted he went ghost after the Crolla fight. He resurfaced after Broner vs Garcia was signed talking about he'd fight Mikey.

Last thing I'm going to say about this is that : Linares even said hes willing to chase Garcia to 140. I dont think Mikey has been serious about this fight to be honest, especially with all that crazy talk about jumping up two divisions or three who knows. I'm just going to sit back and wait on what the WBC rules, its longer overdue.

I don't care what he says, I'm talking about what he does.

Then you should be satisfied that he put himself in mandatory position and is not the one talking about moving up in weight when he knows the WBC is forced to push the fight, hes not talking about vacating or ducking a mandatory ; he did all that.
