Garcia ducks Linares

[Bardock]

Mikey Garcia ducking Linares ...




Yeah sure.

Linares has lost do any decent Mexican hes fought. Mikey would literally put him on a stretcher lol

[T-1000]

First he ran his mouth on Cotto and now he turns down Linares. He's all hot air. Pathetic duck.

[Elroy The Great]

it was a business decision. linares will get it next.

[Randall Cunning]

Twitter saying Garcia/Easter Jr is signed, happening 27th Jan

[mathed]

Garcia knew Linares was too much for him, it is what it is.

Mikey said he took a more lucrative offer. Clearly the offer is more lucrative because the GB offer was contingent on an unfair split of the money.




Where did his brother say the Linares fight would put more money in Mikey's pocket?




Like I told you last night, Mikey's team runs their mouth more than they should, which is how we know what we know, and is also the reason Mikey doesn't tell them certain things before the ink is dry.




We must object to Ring being included in the "real" ratings.

Ring is owned by Linares' promoter. Several members of the Ring ratings advisory committee went public and outed Golden Boy for breaking their promise to not interfere with the ratings and several prominent journalists quit the Ring ratings in disgust after the ratings became corrupted (which is why TBRB exists now).

The Ring ratings are absolutely meaningless at this point. They are owned by Golden Boy. They change the rules and make up the rules as they go along now whenever it benefits HBO and harms SHO. Ring is a complete scam now. Worthless.

Hve seen no bias in rankings show some???

HOW RING MAGAZINE HAS CHANGED RULES TO BENEFIT HBO FIGHTERS AND HARM SHOWTIME FIGHTERS


1. HBO desperately wanted the lengthy build towards Ward vs Kovalev to culminate in establishing a new lineal champion after being embarrassed when Adonis Stevenson left for Showtime. So they leaned on their trusty lead promoter Oscar De La Hoya to figure out how to crown Andre Ward or Sergey Kovalev as lineal champion when Adonis Stevenson was already the lineal champion.

So Ring magazine created a new rule that violated the very nature of the lineal championship. Ring magazine instituted mandatory defenses. If you don't fight a top 5 contender from their rankings, they can strip you (if it benefits HBO). Keep in mind all of the rules, new and old, are selectively enforced to benefit HBO and harm Showtime.

But wait, this new rule would result in Canelo being stripped as well, so they made the rule even more ridiculous, you had to defend against a top 5 contender FROM ANY WEIGHT CLASS. Why? So that Amir Khan would qualify as Canelo's "mandatory" and allow Canelo to keep the title, while ridiculously stripping Adonis Stevenson of the lineal title. That's right. Canelo is middleweight champion despite never ever winning a fight with a 160 pound limit, but Adonis was stripped without losing, while remaining active, and sure enough, HBO got their wish and Andre Ward was crowned Ring magazine champion.


2. HBO is scared to death of Showtime being able to crown a lineal world heavyweight champion, so to make sure that Joshua vs Wilder can't be for the Ring title, Tyson Fury continues to be recognized as Ring champion.

Doing so has required Ring to break several rules in an effort to benefit HBO and harm Showtime.

#1 - TYSON FURY PUBLICLY RETIRED!!! That's right. The very thing that has always caused a lineal title to become vacant, retirement, was blatantly ignored by Ring magazine to ensure that Showtime couldn't have the heavyweight champion.

But since Andre Ward is now a free agent and not obligated to HBO, he was stripped upon retirement so that HBO can try to crown a new "lineal" champion if/when Kovalev fights Barrera next year. That's right, never forget that Ring can have #2 fight #5 for the vacant "lineal" title if HBO wants them to. There is no journalistic integrity anymore, which is why every respected journalist quit the Ring ratings panel and started TBRB instead.

#2 - Not only did Tyson Fury retire, he hasn't fulfilled Ring's mandatory rule about top 5 contenders. Has he been stripped like Adonis Stevenson? Nope.

#3 - Tyson Fury hasn't fought in TWO YEARS. Ring rules say you are stripped after 18 months if you don't fight. Why is Fury still the champion?!

#4 - Tyson Fury failed a drug test, which under Ring rules should result in you being stripped.

Tyson Fury, based on FOUR DIFFERENT violations of Ring policy, was supposed to be stripped, but they haven't done it because HBO doesn't want them to. This is what happens when you allow "independent" rankings to be PURCHASED BY HBO'S LEAD PROMOTER!!!

So Ring magazine says Tyson Fury is heavyweight champion, despite Tysons' public retirement, drug test failure, failure to fight a top contender in two years and failure to fight anyone at all in 18 months.

Ring magazine says Canelo is middleweight champion despite Canelo publicly declaring he wasn't middleweight champion anymore and never actually winning a fight contracted at the middleweight limit.

Meanwhile, Adonis Stevenson, who is the clear lineal champion, and knocked out Tony Bellew in a mandatory defense who went on to win the CRUISERWEIGHT championship and become a big name at HEAVYWEIGHT, was stripped of his Ring title for not fighting their mandatory, making them just as corrupt as any sanctioning body.

I don't have time now to get into this but Tyson fury HAS nothing to do with GB.But I'm not crazy about the 1 or 5 deal but show me one champ on their that don't belong(outside fury who again has nothing to do with GB)and I believe fury will stripped very soon.And as far as Canelo those changes were made way before your example.And just look at their ratings and show me ONE obv example of somone who should not be there? But again I wont be on here prob rest of night maybe not till Monday.have a good fight filled weekend
