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

[SkillspayBills]

I'm all for unification bouts so either Flanagan or Mikey next please and thank you.

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.

He could've got the Mikey fight before the second Crolla fight and before the Campbell fight and right now. Instead he's calling out another light punching unproven Euro. He doesn't want to see Mikey. There is more money in a Mikey fight than there is fighting Campbell or Flanagan. I just posted the ratings for that fight and it didn't do better than Garcia/Broner despite being the lead in for GGG/Canelo

You are completely uninformed to the circumstance around these events : Crolla had a rematch clause and exercised it, Campbell was the mandatory and now its up to the WBC or Mikey to step up and fight his mandatory.

About these recent quotes its common that two champions call each other out, Flanagan has been talking about Linares for a long time since his career has been stagnant and needs a credible opponent. Now if Linares goes on to face Flanagan having the opportunity to face Mikey instead than I would protest to that ( to be fair ) but I find it funny that you don't mind Mikey talking about multiple potential opponents for Garcia in recent weeks but use these quotes against Linares? why the double standards

: when is Mikey going to at least defend his title against you know HIS MANDO Jorge Linares? he said he was struggling with the weight at jr. Lightweight then moves up to 135 wins a belt off a 'Euro-bum' ( funny that you dont call him out on that ) and now without even defending his title against Linares hes ready to jump up in weight AGAIN --- OH wait he did already.

The one that has the responsibility the pressure is the guy that hasn't honored the terms set by the WBC, requesting extensions and talking leaving the division is Mikey ; the guy that hasnt even made a defense, Meanwhile Linares has been fighting the best he could before Garcia came to Lightweight. Give Linares some respect he went overseas and fought the best available opponents.

People criticizing Linares for wanting to unify ? Pathetic

[ShoulderRoll]

Enough with beating up on Brits. Linares should fight Mikey Garcia next.

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

LOL indeed that's why I said in a perfect world
