Just seen Terry Flanagan has vacated his WBO Lightweight world title to fight for the Light-Welterweight version vacated by Terence Crawford.
Slightly surprised by that...hadn’t heard rumours that he was struggling to make weight, whereas there was lots of talk of a big unification fight with Linares at Lightweight, as well as the obvious potential match-ups with Campbell and Corolla (politics permitting).

yeah, pretty shocked at that tbh.....i thought he was bang up for linares?
What was that you were saying again about cutting back on the old sparring mate...?!

and it seems that hearn has pulled off a world title fight for scott quigg against oscar valdez!!! 
Great fight if it comes off - Valdez unbeaten and with a great KO ratio but not been in with a fighter of Quigg’s calibre. Good chance to see how much Quigg has developed working with Freddie Roach too...Yiliterate said:

Sounds good to me. 
Not sure how many people here have seen this channel already, but Boxing Legends on YouTube is well worth a watch if you find time to browse it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuHeVY3bLH1OdhhQ_...

So....amir khan and his major announcement tomorrow.....the rumour mill says it will be him signing with eddie hearn and first fight under matchroom will be adrien broner!!!...
Like it!!!
And brings khan/brook closer if true
So is Al-Haymon dropped? About time...Like it!!!
And brings khan/brook closer if true
3 fight deal rumours say, so Broner would be a recognisable but beatable name to start with, then some non-fight, and finish with Brook or Horn?
Broner vs Khan, that's gonna cause some haters some headaches...
Is it at welter? Broner's not a Welter weight Imo, he's just not living the life and can't make the weight he should be (probably light weight) i really dont rate him and thats not just because he's lacking class personality wise.
Khan was up at 155 to fight Canelo wasn't he and looked good at it... Seems like khan should mash him up pretty good to me, its a no win for khan, for me, unless he absolutely does a number on Broner.
