Mikey Garcia vs. Jorge Linares.

[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.

[Alpha]

At least Beltran should get a shot at the vacant strap. Will the WBC still mandate the Garcia/ Linares fight? Hoping Easter steps up to the plate and unifies with Garcia. Mikey looking to return in January at this stage.

[Spicoli]

Trying to scramble into Crawfords now vacant apartment . Orozco gives every intention he also intends to move to 147 as he blew the weight and forced hbo to cancel it's co main. If Hooker gets shot I like Flanagan to beat the breaks off of him.

But again how absurd to be ranked #1 in a division never ventured. Why even have rankings at all.
