Terry Flanagan v Jose Zepeda. Vacant WBO Lightweight title. July 11th

Zepeda is young, strong and hitsh ard but is pretty crude and not very effective at cutting the ring off from what ive seen

 

Its because he had a high ranking with the WBO at 140, WBO probably kept his ranking when he dropped down, he has weighed as low as 137 before but you are right the weight could be an issue for him, we shall see.

 

It is very weird indeed, hope he isn't weight drained as it spoils the fight.

 

Do you actually find Flanagan entertaining?, for me he is dull, feather fisted so i really hope the more entertaining fighter in Zepeda wins.

 

Nevermind

 

I was thinking that looking at the prices. Surprised that Flanagan is favourite. Think I'll have a few quid on zepeda

 

Put not all your but all your money you can afford to lose on Zepeda! Neither of them has fought better than their own domesitc-level competition but it's not too hard to guage ability despite that. Flanagan is a feather-duster who couldn't keep his last opponent Ormond off him. He's a one-dimensional out-boxer who can't defend himself on the inside. Not only does Zepeda have the much more telling power, he can jab and box with Flanagan too. It won't take long for Zepeda to find his timing and easily step inside Flanagan's range. Then with his power and size advantage he'll beat him up if not knock him out. I'm betting 20 units, half of my bankroll, then enjoying a nice withdrawal.

 

I wouldn't bet on Zepeda. Checked him on youtube and saw journeymen landing on him at will. His power has been enough for tomato cans, but Flanagan is at least european level fighter who has decent defence. Zepeda's chin and stamina will be tested. I expect an ugly fight with a lot of clincing, with Flanagan winning by late KO or UD.

 

Flanagan's constant clinching is pathetic, for that alone i hope he gets brutally KTFO, WAR ZEPEDA!!!!!.

 

are you ok mate?

 

Hopefully it was the usual hot air people spout on these boards and he hasn't bankrupted himself being a clown.

Expect Mitchell to get another shot now. This'd be one he'd actually win pretty easily.
