Mikey Garcia vs. Jorge Linares.

[Alpha]

Yea I'm not sure Flanagan would be willing to travel and Linares has built a nice following in the UK.

[Kirkland Laing]

The Flanagan Linares fight isn't happening. Flanagan is moving up to 140 and will undoubtedly fight some WBO top ten bod for Crawford's vacant title in a Copperbox Arena spectacular.

[Alpha]

Yea heard this from the WBO. Did Flanagan drop his nuts and run towards an easy vacant title? He said the Linares fight was all but done.

[Ron Swanson]

So Flanagan told Garcia no because he was going to fight Linares, but told Linares no too?

[Alpha]

Apparently so. He now #1 at 140 to Crawford's soon to be vacated title. The rest of the WBO's top 5 should include Hooker, Orozco, Catterall and Zepeda.

Hopefully Zepeda can get a rematch with Flanagan sometime now at 140.

[Alpha]

Oh yea and funnily enough he waited until Crawford was moving up.

[powerpuncher]

I can’t stand these fighters who just duck every good fighter around them. I mean seriously, going after the vacant title at 140? Ridiculous.

Not that it will happen since Garcia already turned down the offer to sign the 4 fight deal with GBP, but this would be a great time for Garcia to jump in and fight Linares.
