Mikey spends his life mentioning fighters names with no real intention of fighting them or knowing it isn't going to happen.
Garcia is nothing special. Can't wait to see Easter eat dat boi!
I can't watch it right now. What did he say?
Rahim brought up their last interview together, in which Mikey said Lomachenko wasn't ready yet and needs more fights to get ready for Mikey. Rahim asks him if he thinks Loma is ready now.
Mikey nods and responds 'the fight that did it is the Linares fight, I can't credit him too much for Rigo who's a 122lber, I can't credit him for beating guys like Sosa and Marriaga, I see the talent in his boxing, but I can't give him credit beating those type of guys. But beating Linares at lightweight, and making the adjustments during the fight, because it was a good fight early on, Linares was doing well. He comes up from being knocked down and stops Linares, that does it, you gotta give the man credit. At this point the lomachenko is the only other fight that excites me.'
Mikey did pick Rigo though and said he couldn't pick a winner vs. Linares.
This is what Mikey said in a FightHype video before the fight.
'I wouldn't be surprised if Rigondeaux actually pulled it off, they both have great skills, with the size advantage, more than likely Lomachenko should win. Skills, and size advantage should be enough to allow him to win.'
Is there a video or interview in which he says he favors Rigo over Loma?
hhhmm mikey only rates the linares win as good for lomachenko, typical sour grapes im not sure where this attitude comes from, maybe him and spence should have a few beers together, why didnt mikey fight linares? bad business decision he says, what does that even mean?? maybe these fighters shouldnt even mention each other, just making themselves look bad
technically that's not what he said, misleading title. loma himself said he doenst rate his rigo win high.

Mikey picked Rigo to beat him and said he couldn't really pick a winner between Loma and Linares, who he ducked twice. Now he's fighting Easter who's gotten 2 or 3 gifts in his last few fights against extremely limited opposition.
Mikey is a good fighter but he's a bitter SOB.
I give 'Mickey-Mouse' full credit for robbing Salidoe in the eighth on TD by doctors for his first world title at featherweight!
I give 'Mickey-Mouse' full credit for missing weight and knocking out Juanma after that! I give full credit to 'Mickey' for fighting Rigo like he said he would at 126 too! I give 'Mickey' full credit for stepping up to Linares! H*mochenko hasn't fought anyone!
Miley ain’t jealous of anyone and I could understand his statement
Not sure if he would beat Loma but even losing would be a great scrap
Loma is like a fughin machine, but every machine breaks down
Mikey might just be the breaker
He won’t let go and might just have the wits to outsmart Loma and his quadrilateral movement
I think Robert Garcia will be the X factor
