No doubt this is a great fight to be made but I think Mikey is just too strong at 135 and has boxing IQ to match Lomanchenko. Loma is a beast in his own right but Mikey takes this one, possibly even by KO.
he said himself that he will go to 135 once he's cleaned up 130
Yeah I know, we shall see how he does, I do think he can out-box most of them honestly he is that good despite his lack of size so I can see him moving up and going after someone like Terry Flanagan right away who I think he would DESTROY.
Mikey seems to be moving up for Broner at 140 so that kinda changes things at 135
I think Mikey is too big for him! 135 is stretching it for Loma who is 5'6 with only a 65 inch Reach
Yeah I'm sure people are thinking Pacquiao but Pacquiao had way more Power! I do think Loma could possibly out-box some bigger guys but seeing how he did have issues with Salido Size I don't know if he should move up that far because again he is not a big guy nor does he have the great Power that Pacquiao has

ye but look at Rigondeux vs Donaire, it was the bigger, more powerful guy vs the smaller more agile one.
Rigondeux made Donaire hit thin air, that could maybe happen in Mikey v Loma too, no?
Absolutely. It's a lot closer to 50/50 than most people think. Mikey has the clear edge in power but Loma has the movement.Yeah, that is what it comes down to. Lom's movement and angles have the ability to frustrate any fighter and Garcia is bigger and has more power.

Let's just hope it happens.
all you ahve to do to beat lomachenko is let your hands go.
pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff no
I think to beat Loma you have to be dedicated to the body. 1 mistake I have seen his opponents do is head hunt and that plays into Lomas game. The only fighter that went to the body (and lower) was Salido.
Of course he could, Garcia is a highly skilled and talented fighter in his own right. I don't think Lomachenko has some immense skill advantage in that fight, and he definitely has a size disadvantage.
Of course he could. Mikey is technically sound, has a high boxing IQ, a fantastic jab and one punch knockout power in each hand. It would be a great matchup, though I favor the skills of Loma over anyone but Crawford
