Liam Smith v John Thompson. Vacant WBO Light Middleweight title. Oct 10

Soro would be a tough fight, and Flanagan is in deep in his first defence

 

Yeah, but he's not facing Soro and Flanagan didn't deserve the shot in the first place, so any fight is going to be tough for him to some degree when you aren't a truly world class fighter in the first place.

 

Will you ever give up!

Flanagan won a final eliminator. He would have boxed Ray Beltran if Beltran had made weight against Ao.


Terry deserved his chance. Now he must prove how good he is.

 

Answer: not very.

 

:good

 

Thompson looked excellent beating the **** out of Brandon Adams, who is miles ahead of anybody Smith has been in the ring with

 

Magdaleno is average

 

So if he's average why can't 50% of people in his weight class beat him :think

 

And he's chinny

 

Why you ducking the question asked?

 

Because BlackBerny is average and chinny.

 

Is he the even the best fighter in his weight class domestically? Almost certainly not. So the fact he's a 'world' champion is a joke.

 

So you think it's OK the likes of Darleys Perez and recently Mikey Bey have been champions at the same weight?

 

Because it's being pedantic, relatively speaking Magdaleno is average, 50 percent of the top 50 of a very weak division could probably beat him, probably a few unbeaten prospects out there who could beat him

Diego isn't even the best active fighter in his family

No way could you say fighting Diego Magdaleno is "in deep" even for Flanagan, someone like Shafikov would be "in deep"

 

Both of those beat Flanagan, so yes.
