    is Terry's "leg injury" genuine or is this a blatant duck?
    It does look a bit suspect.....

    terry ducks anyone who has a pulse, that's why he sell's no tickets because he doesn't fight anyone, his fraud promoter is also to blame.

    It's on the scene, the WBO are now asking for evidence of the injury.

    Pretty convenient if you ask me, also rules him out of a Linares fight too.

    Urgh, lame. If it is staged then I don't see the point. It's not like he's a big seller so they don't exactly need to protect him

    They did re-score it to be fair with another 5 judges, which came out with the same result. I scored it for Horn myself but to my detriment didn't receive any payment from the WBO (an invoice will be sent to them)

    I find it difficult to believe Flanagan would dodge him with such a specious injury, why not just move up a weight as he is certainly finding it hard work. Think he would have a great chance v Linares, but suspect Garcia would beat him. Other than that, the difficulty is finding good enough opponents for him. If I sound bias, its because I have met him and watched all his fights in last 3 years!

    It remains to be seen but at least with the WBO requesting evidence we will find out.

    The last line here genuinely made me laugh. I would have to be paid to watch shot Pac fight an Aussie schoolteacher which is why I still haven't and am unlikely to ever watch that fight.

    Linares tools him. I still can't believe people gave Crolla a chance of beating him twice - especially the first time around when Ant was actually the favourite.

    Jorge is one of the top operators in the sport.

    Flanagan has had 35 odd fights and hasn't got 1 genuine win over a world level fighter, quite embarrassing if you ask me. Went 12 with a very old and second or third last fight with derry Matthews. Warren even bigger joke, opponets like the 43 year Mzonke fana and Orlando cruz being marketed as the 'first gay boxer' as a pull sums it up

    Didn't see ur request for a link sorry.

    But come on, those judges were NEVER going to give an answer the WBO didn't want to hear...and cut themselves off from future WBO gigs??? Surely not...
