Fingers crossed it comes off. Garcia looked a little rusty last time out but that's to be expected after such a lay off. Plus he was in with a plucky little fecker. I'd still fancy him to pip Zlaticanan though.

We dont yet know if he can operate like he used to do but if he can hell beat zlat and clean up lw

I think Zlaticanin beats Garcia if this is next for either man. Especially if it's sometime soon.

Was really hoping it would be Flanagan v zlaticanin.

However I do like this fight a lot though.

Flanagan isn't on the level of the other Lightweights. I'd be surprised if he could beat any of the other titleholders.

I strongly disagree and think Flanagan would beat Crolla comforatbly. I'm a fan of both and have said this for years. The fact Joe Gallagher comes up with every excuse not to fight Flanagan says a lot as well.

What I will say he needs a good fight next. The division is booming right now with Crolla v Linares, Commey v Easter and potentially Garcia v Zlaticanin happening soon Flanagan could be left out.

Now don't get me wrong. Even though I personally think Flanagan isn't on that level since he is a titleholder I'd still like to see him in those fights because I may well be wrong about how good he is or isn't.

Flanagan vs the winner of any of those bouts would be big. A fight between him and Crolla would be big even if Linares beats Crolla.

Flanagan fight bums and we cant know that how he good is if he step up in opposition we'll see how he good is

He won his title on a fluke too. Dislocated shoulder of his opponent who a lot of people were picking to beat him.
