shoulda waited on lomachenko..he would have the size advantage and should..a big SHOULD..he beat loma without fouls like you know who..he'd be a boxing star..well I guess it's gone down the drain with this move now..goodluck flanagan!

It's a shame none of the successful hackers in recent years have been boxing fans. Somewhere there's a WBO-Arum-Warren chain of emails going back 20 odd years planning out so many of these movements, and probably originally set up using unimaginative fake names like Evan Fields.

Was wondering about that, WBO made some announcements, but not for the 135. Holding off for Lomachenko maybe

I read an article where Bob said he wants Beltran to win the title first and then make a defense vs. Lomachenko.

Ah cool, checked the WBO rankings, just a bunch of names Ive never heard before. Beltran deserves a nice start, think hes been mandatory to most belts for a long time

Terrible decision by Flanagan. He has no pop at 135 and had a couple of big fights available to him. Unless he gets an easy fight for the 140 title whereby he can then hold the belt hostage in the UK for a couple of years, this is a very bad move

After Garcia called him out on Twitter, Flanagan replied that the fight with Linares is "all but done", now he vacates? Hmmmmmm, smells like a duck to me. Simply protecting his trash undefeated record.

Why do fans always say this? As if boxing isn't means for this man to make a living.

As if he would turn down Garcia. It's prizefighting. He's not a popular champion even in Britain with its boxing renaissance.

As someone else eluded to. Unfortunately Flanagan also has the personality of a door knob. I am assuming this dude genuinely can't make the weight because I can't see where the money is for him.

I've never seen Hooker fight but I am assuming he could beat Flanagan if he is a good world-level fighter.

Let me guess, Beltran vs Verdejo for the lightweight title and Flanagan vs Catterall for the super lightweight title

I wouldn't mind Verdejo-Beltran.
It's time to see if Verdejo is for real or not.

The 140 pound division is wide open now that Crawford moved to 147! I'm interested to see who's gonna take it over. My guess is Mikey will unify that division next.

This bun would move up before getting knocked out by Mikey, Linares, or Easter.

He can make decent money as an undefeated fighter. If he would've fought Mikey, he'd show the world how average he is
