Comments Thread For: Warren: Forget Flanagan-Crolla, Let's Make Flanagan-Linares

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Now that Jorge Linares has beaten Anthony Crolla so easily in their rematch, promoter Frank Warren isn't all that interested in making a Crolla-Terry Flanagan fight. It makes much more sense to Warren, Flanagan's promoter, to try to lure Linares to return to the United Kingdom for a lightweight title unification fight against Flanagan. That would require Flanagan, the WBO world lightweight champion, to beat Russia's Petr Petrov in their April 8 bout at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

MIEKY GARCIA IS THE MANDATORY FOR THE WBC BELT..... LINARES HAS TO FIGHT MIKEY OR DROP THE BELT LIKE HIS FELLOW GOLDEN BOY FIGHTER CANELO.....

Linares must be rubbing his hands. He's really benefiting from the British boxing scene's popularity. That said Flanagan isn't all that popular. But he could take his belt and then take out Campbell in Hull then he's wasted all our lightweights. He could even knock over Scotty Cardle for a laugh.

Cheeky f.ucker.

Warren talking a good game here but once Linares signs to fight Garcia he will find that Crolla will be the biggest fight money wise for Flanagan.

Funny that before he was saying they can still make the fight, now he does not, now imagine if he had won, warren would say he is asking to much money what a tosser

Line them up. Linares may become undisputed @ 135 ; if Linares gets passed Garcia it might be too tempting to pass on 'Easy-Money' Flanagan.

linares is not the champion, garcia is......

you maybe confused! Linares is the wbc super champion... Mikey is the regular champion

Linares is the WBC 'champion in recess' (aka Diamond Belt). He got stripped for not being able to fight Zlaticanin (broken hand), but retained the right to immediately fight for the belt once we was ready to do so. Then Garcia went on to take the belt off Zlaticanin.

So Linares is actually Garcia's mandatory if Linares wants to exercise his right to fight for the belt.

edit. But from what I understand Crolla could have won the 'Diamond Belt' by beating Linares, so I presume the Diamond Belt carries a right to fight for the regular belt and can be passed on by beating the previous Diamond Belt holder. But who knows with all these ABC belts.......
