Mikey Garcia insisted that he had no intention of losing his featherweight title in his very first defense.

That dream died on the scales Friday afternoon, when the unbeaten rising star missed weight by two pounds for Saturday’s HBO-televised showdown with former champ Juan Manuel Lopez.

Excited for this fight tonight yet at the same time never liked the matchup as far as JuanMa's concerned. He should still be in rebuilding mode when you consider the quality of his last couple performances. I guess his handlers need to collect more than they need to prolong his career.
