Is the fight really that much of a mismatch?
I get it, I guess...Burgos was heavily favored in his ESPN fight against Amidu but only managed a draw.
Sounds like we might be in for another HBO main event snoozefest.
I seriously doubt he could beat those two.
He has the skills. Abril is very skilled, but so is Mikey. And we haven't really seen Crawford fight anyone like Salido, Martinez, or Burgos. Crawford looks damn good but the best fighter he's faced is probably an irrelevant Prescott.
He should be a solid favorite, but that seems high. Burgos is a good solid fighter, who should have gotten the W over Martinez.
Mikey seems to be pacing himself good between divisions, hopefully a fight or two at 135, then 140 and not a direct jump to 147. Salido and Lopez at 126, now Burgos and Martinez at 130. Hopefully Gamboa and Abril/Crawford at 135.
Mikey got dropped by Martinez, sure. But he came back and dominated most of the action and stopped a tough fighter in Martinez. Mikey has all the tools to be a division climber and do some special stuff.

Those are long odds, but garcia is just that good,, Burgos is a solid fighter, and would be a tough out for anyone not p4p caliber,,
This is a case of garcia being so good, as opposed to the opponent being that bad
burgos will win unless top rank shenanigans come into play. i bet my new house(lost old one betting on hatton) that burgos wins. when i win i will have 12 houses! go me!
I bet my life savings on Burgos. The whole 26$
Hopefully he wins. I think he should
I was at the Burgos-Martinez fight (Garcia was the main event) and actually thought Martinez won by a point or two. Burgos didn't impress me and was a very slow starter. Mikey should pick him apart.
Are you stupid? Burgos won that fight easy. Dude punished his body like no other. He should of won by a wide decision something like 9-3. One of the worst robberies there is no case at all for martinez

burgos easily won the first couple rounds so i don't know how that constitutes a slow start. were you sitting behind a really tall person like valuev?
Wow 20-1 is huge. Yes it was a draw but Burgos should've gotten the decision.

He's a 1-20 favorite now. And should be. Didn't Burgos draw with rocky Martinez??
