This fight is for the vacant WBO lightweight title - Flanagan (27-0/10 ko's) ranked 1, Zepeda (23-0/20 ko's) 2.
Just taking a look at Zepeda (naturally looking for a bet). Get this, according to boxrec Zepeda has never weighed below 140. How about that for a mad one? Have 20 odd fights at 140 but get ranked at 135.
Now... will he have a big size advantage on the night or be dead at the weight? He can obviously bang a bit.
Flan - 8/11
Zep - 5/4
Anyway.....
I saw on Boxrec Zepeda's ranked at Welterweight. On paper this looks a tough assignment for him but I've been fairly impressed with Flanagan thus far. Zepeda might be dangerous early but the longer it goes it'll be Terry's fight. Good fight and a decentish card. Chisora vs. Ustinov might be interesting too.
Just seen that Chisora doesn't seem to be fighting but Ustinov is? Any word on why this was cancelled?
The big lummox has signed with Warren
Im guessing Chisora is being lined up for Joshua for the British title. A loss to Ustinov would ruin that fights potential.Quote:

These BoxNation cards really go under the radar.
Flanagan could become "world" champ tonight yet would be less known than a Matchroom novice.
An interesting fight. Will making Lightweight hurt Zepeda? How good is either guy? Leaning towards Zepeda.
It doesnt help that his cards are so pathetic. Apart from the main event the most compettitve fight is a 1/6 shot/ His card in dublin last week was worse.Quote:

His last fight was against Ormond in Wolves on a shit card infront of fuck all people. It made no sense at all. Would have sold very well in dublin and probably well in Manchester. Warren has just lost it I think. He'll likely go the way of Kellie Maloney soon enough.
True... although you set the odds. (:D)Quote:

You see that then. Rawling said there is a internet rumour going around that Ustinov is going to fight Chisora. It was more than a rumour, there was a press conference and a contract signed to say they'd fight on this card. This just BoxNation trying to protect Chisora?
Ustinov's Promoter Says Chisora Already Going Bonkers - Boxing News
Also notice how they keep bigging up the Butler-Conlan clash and ignoring the fact that Hearn won a purse bid for Yafai vs. Butler? Absolutely no chance Warren allows Butler to fight Yafai on a Hearn card.
They lost the purse bids then had Butler pretending he never knew anything about the fight and saying he's not fighting for peanuts. Embarrassing.
