    Does this mean BT will have the TV rights? Would be great if ITV lose them.

    No but will have a big baring on how much each TV company are willing to bid. If they have 2 big fighters in the series obviously they will want to bid more

    Good move I think. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put Flanagan in with that Hooker tall, awkward, gangly, albatross reach on his first fight at light welter needs shooting!

    The WBSS will finally give Flanagan the exposure he deserves and give him some good fights. People say he’s boring but he is a very good boxer who deserves to be in some big fights and pay days.

    Like last year I not sure sky or BT will bother bidding due to having to buy the whole lot instead of individual Fighters.

    It's seems he borrowed Eubanks pen

    So is Burnett not in the other one?

    Is Josh Taylor stepping up in weight class for this then?

    Ye but that's what good boxers do. They best guys who have reach on them. Just cos hooker was tangy it doesn't make him unbeatable.
    Terry was bad on the night, he struggled to take hookers range away and his tactics weren't good enough.

    Agreed, but in this modern age of over protecting fighters there was certainly no need to be facing an opponent like that when you’re getting used to a new weight. I hate this sport sometimes for people avoiding people and taking easy routes but that is one instance I can forgive someone an easier opponent.
