What Do You Guys Think About Mikey Garcia After His Latest Bout?

Mikey is a very fundamentally sound fighter. Jab, right straight, left hook counter. He got away in that fight using just those punches. But he doesnt power at 140lbs. His KD of Lipinets is combination of perfect placing of the punch and poor position of lipinets. Lipinets wasn't stunned or hurt. He'll continue to win againts Lipinets-caliber fighters - same height, same length types of fighter. (FYI, I like Lipinets and I was hoping he would win).

Oh your either a troll or stupid if you think Indongo beats Mikey lol Ok, maybe predicting a win is going out on a limb but Mikey is not levels baove him. Indongos size, reach and combinations will wrong foot Mikey, whose feet are concrete and his punches are mechanical. I think a lot of the top 140 pounders from the previous gen all beat Mikey, probably doing it easy. He isn't as good as he is being made out to be. His chance of proving it is with dominant victories of LInares/Loma/TC. Lets see if any of these fights get made.

He looked good just as he did against Broner. He is 30 and in his late prime. His brother and trainer says 135 is his best weight so why not stay at 135? Why make things harder than they have to be by fighting above his best weight. Winning titles in different weight classes isn't as impressive as being the best at one weight. Broner is proof of that. With 4 different belts in each weight class you can win a title by beating a guy who isn't that good and that is what Mikey just did. Prograis would be a dangerous fight for Mikey and fighting Spence would be a KO loss for Mikey in my opinion. I think he should stay at 135 and fight all worthy challengers. That will be hard and challenging enough.

Good boxing brain and textbook fundamentals. But his power is not as devastating at 140 and likely will be even less so at 147. Also he is too patient at times, he gives up rounds because he is waiting for the right punches to throw.

He's brilliant and must be one of the most accurate punchers in the world. It was the accuracy of the shot that put lipinets down because his power is diluted at 140. His best weight is 135.

Mikey did good I dunno.what everybody's problem is

Mikey looked great in spurts. I think 135 should be his ceiling. Fight Lomachenko, Easter, probably Davis in the near future, etc. Only move to 140 for big money fights, if any. Stay the hell away from 147 for a long while!

Mikey looked good, very strong I think. As been mentioned he does look soft at 140lb so probably better off going back to 135lb. Tough task for Loma at 135lb, but if Loma can take Mikey at 135lb I think many questions will be answered. But back to Mikey....there is not much to dislike about the guy, he's a beast, perhaps I'd like to see him more mobile, but hey what he is doing works.

Spence & Crawford present problems with the southpaw stance and good power with high work rates. However I think he can beat Thurman! Thurman hasn't stopped anyone in five years and does a hell of a lot of running once the pressure is applied. Now he may speed away from Mickey using his movement but Mickey can be competitive. If he wants a belt at Welter, Thurman's belt is the more probable prize. Thurman 5' 7.5" 146 fights at about 156-57lbs /68 reach Garcia 5' 6.5" 140 fights at 147-150lbs /67 reach You saw Keith react to Danny and Mickey is better than Danny. This could be a good match up.

I didnt watch this fight and have no reason to. MIkey is a robotic fighter who relied on size and power. He certainly has a solid jab but is predictable. TC would beat the **** out of him. Heck, put a motivated Indongo in with him and he'd beat him too.

He cant punch at 140 and would have a lot of trouble beating a tough young fighter like Prograis.

Still a top ten P4P. One of the better counter punchers in the sport.

Lipinets is no bum ^This. Lipinets was very underrated. No one was paying attention to him, but it doesn't mean he was bad by any means. I've been following him for a while and think he's pretty decent. He was decent enough that Mikey respected him and didn't play around. As far as Mikey not looking as strong, look at how he fought this fight, and how his opponent responded. A brutal KO just wasn't going to happen. Lipinets was very weary of the right hand and wasn't just standing there, eating punches. Also, Mikey wasn't taking chances. That doesn't mean Mikey was any less powerful. At the end of the day, he still made the dude look like the toxic avenger. Regarding 135, Mikey's body looks soft at 140 and IMO, if you can make a lower weight, do it.

Looking slightly older. He used to be able to move all night. Could just be the weight though. I think its just the weight.I think 35 is where he should be if he wants to be great.Anything above that and he will HAVE TO continue his selective matchmaking.

I think his boxing skills are more pronounced, but his power looks noticeably worse than it did at 135. His hands were NyQuil under 140. Now, Lipinets is the 2nd jr ww in a row he couldn't finish. Having said that, he did show a really good jab, and solid fundamentals. Mikey should be able to outbox most guys at 140, as it's not a very strong division right now, but Prograis, Ramirez and Taylor could give him problems. I don't think Mikey should move up to 147. I agree Mikey at 35 is VERY HARD to beat but he losses something at 40 and I think the top guys at 47 beat him kinda easy(Spence,Crawford,Thruman)

should be at 135, but if he wants to stay at 140 clean house fine. now, if he wants to move to 147 to prove something and put himself into greatness i'd love to see that even though i don't like his chances against any of the title contenders at 147. :firedevil

Looking slightly older. He used to be able to move all night. Could just be the weight though.

Broner has a great chin and Lipinets possibly does as well, so I'm not saying that his power isn't unnoticeable at the weight. Great fundamentals. A little slow and inactive, but he has insane spurts of activity.
