never seen such a fghter in high regard have such awful defense
its like he doesnt even move his head or roll with the punches
he has decent pop and hand speed other then that he's so ordinary.
well how much was he being payed against remillard? if i was making millions to fight lipinets i would be high as fu-ck in there fighting carefree. million dollars for this omgggg i won the lottery. a sense of euphoria would wash over me and i would welcome death
proving once again that you're not worth the time it takes to hit reply and type a couple hundred words.
garcia actually wanted to quit against matt remillard because his stomach hurt. look around for the interview with his brother where he talks about it.
you think 2018 garcia considers quitting aginst matt freaking remillard? the guy that took big shots on saturday and snarled?

Have you heard of Vasyl Lomachenko? His fans think he's the greatest thing since slice bread lol.
Biggest hype job hands down
We have some serious issue with intelligence on this forum.
Are you serious? PDL was a blown up featherweight and fought nothing like Castillo. Broner had a good size advantage against PDL, whereas Mayweather was fighting a bigger man for his first fight at 135.
Mayweather would've walked PDL down easily (IMO).
I'm saying Floyd had his PDL moment with Castillo. I mean Castillo was a solid fighter but he was not HOF material. Ponce De Leon was a solid fighter but not HOF material either.
hmmm yeah thats why he chose to fight unknown lipinets instead of linares. oh wait the money...hmm yeah if you believe that crap. haymon gives him money outside of the official purse anyway and yet he chose to fight lipinets. hes another joke boxer who has been enabled. lipinets isnt even as good as jason sosa. oh wait he had a belt amazing!!!

I have to agree with this, Broner was literally anointed the next Mayweather. That gift he got against PDL should've set off bells and whistles. Seriously, can you imagine 23 year old Floyd looking that bad against PDL?
Yeah I can imagine, in fact look at the first Castillo fight.
linares also lost to antonio freaking demarco, and a nobody named sergio thompson, who has never won a fight outside of mexico.
not to mention the huge flaws he's got when you watch him fight. spotty chin, bad instincts. yeah, he's super athletic, but there's so much more to being a fighter than that. this ain't dancing :lol1:
mikey bites down now when he gets hit. i used to worry about how he'd react, but i think the layoff made him care more about the sport. i think linares is tough, but he does not have great instincts.
i remember watchinmg him roll punches the wrong way against demarco while the HBO broadcasting team was comparing him to ray robinson :lol1:. by the end of the fight he was covered in blood and getting his ass kicked by antonio demarco :lol1:

He looked the same size as Lipinets or even bigger to me.
Funny is that Mikey said he would rather fight Spence in 147 than Loma in 135.
Mikey seemed a bit bigger than Lippents. But I did noticed that he didn't have a good body structure (no six packs). I think Mikey is better off at 135 bs & then move up to 140 lbs. He sure has the goods. But he shouldn't move to welter, his body isn't there yet. He needs to grow into the weight first, otherwise he will be too small at the moment.
He's underrated. It's morons like you who nitpick and can't appreciate a thoroughly entertaining fighter who wants to go out there and bang. He could have easily stayed elusive and won on points, but he's not a b1tch. Spiteful thread. What a sh1tty place this site has become. Every time we get an entertaining fight and an impressive performance, the next day a thread is created sh1tting on them.
This is so true, but hey they even schit on legends & hall of famers. Me, I think Loma & Mikey are good fighters that have the potential to be great. I hope they meet.

No. He has perhaps the best amateur record ever, started fighting names as soon as turning pro & his style is unlike anything we've seen before. If he were US/UK/MX-based he would be a massive star. Most people still don't know who he is unless they're boxing nerds.
To be fair Mikey isn't as overhyped as he could be. But he has a very standard meat & potatoes style. He isn't the type of fighter who jumps out at casual fans, but if he can reign anywhere he will have a large de facto fanbase behind him.
Linares career is a smokescreen. Picking up vacant titles & getting going when the going gets tough. Crolla being #2 means nothing. But you see what I'm talking about. Mikey beat two champs in two different divisions and Broner. But you're more impressed with a win over Crolla

Naw, I think Crawford or Anthony Joshua hold that honor currently.
Mikey is only overrated if you're saying he's a top 5 P4Per which many aren't.
terrence crawford is the real deal, you're just wrong if you don't think he's one of the best fighters on the planet. name five better fighters! name three!
it's between he and lomachenko, and no others. the guy can box, punch, fight left or right handed, has a good chin, and we know he is tough.
he does everything good but nothing great, what do modern day boxing fans actually like, everyone who wins n gets a little buzz is hated on. how exactly do us boxing fans support the sport?
Mikey Garcia has been at the right place and the right time to get his hands at the WBC 135 and IBF 140 titles : Due to favorable circumstance ( Linares unifying with Crolla, injury etc) and politics, the WBC enabled Mikey to fight for its title at 135 when in reality Linares was the true champion beating the #2. in the division.
Then Mikey strikes again like a opportune vulture at 140 when Crawford vacates the IBF letting a euro-bum Sergay Lipinets become a 'world-champion' who was latter cherry-picked by Garcia to become a 'Four-weight champion' in just a little over a year.
Dejan Zlaticanin and Sergey Lipinets, never beat anyone great or even made a single title defense, these guys where like a Charles Martin was to a Anthony Joshua.
This ^^^^^
I don't see who anyone can say he is overrated. He's a good, entertaining fighter. His PR team has to talk him up to get the big fights, but I'm not seeing a Mikey Garcia Hype-Train across all of boxing. Unlike some of the Wilder/AJ hardcore fans. He does need to fight Loma at 135/140 by 2020 the latest, if not, then it will be difficult to take him seriously as a guy who wants the best at those weight divisions.
