A lot of people owe Mikey an apology...

i really don't understans why hes taking this fight? money? is the money going to be that good?

Lol, I knew this thread was coming. For a moment there it really did look like he was mentioning Errol's name for fun, but good on him for following through.

apology for what? that´s a clear duck to avoid lomachenko because he doesnt want to get embarassed by a smaller guy! khan did the same thing to avoid brook with fighting canelo because they know nobody gives them a chance anyway so they take getting KTFO rather than fighting the guy they fear. **** both of em, khan and garcia! hope spence gives it "brook-style" to him!

I never thought it looked like BS and I'll call those people idiots and clowns for the way they always wait with baited breath to mock certain fighters. I was right and that's one of the spoils of making the right prediction. :D Agreed though, the fight is bad for boxing. I've never been specifically against PBC but if they're moving away from free boxing AND making bad matches, then that's a definite strike against them. Well for how long it took for the fight to be announced from when Garcia first started talking about it, I thought there was a chance it wasn't happening. It seemed to have died down for a while too. As soon as it came back to the forefront, I figured it was gonna happen tho.

I admit I 100% thought he was talking out of his @ss. If he makes it to the first bell he won't make it to the last one. Props to him for this, it's a ballsy fight.

Maybe he thinks he can win. This... I honestly don’t understand some boxing fans nowadays, they complain about fighters not stepping up and not taking risks. Then we have an elite fighter taking a huge risk by jumping up 2 divisions to face a fellow elite fighter and instead of giving the guy credit for taking such a risk, they’re criticising him because it’s a fight he’ll likely lose. Mikey literally can’t win with some of you... -He doesn’t take the fight “he’s crying wolf” -He takes the fight “he’s cashing out”. Why is it so difficult for people to give a guy some props nowadays- no other fighter is taking such a dynamic risk.

i will be the first to apologize as soon as the bell rings for round 1!

props to mikey. i shiieted on him but he kinda deserve it at that time. but props to him for taking on spence. now the floyd fans will see how limted spence is. just watch!

Rare move in this era of Floyd influenced O protecting *****e$. Agreed bro....

He deserves credit if he is successful otherwise it's very stupid decision when a Loma fight can be made Spence can ruin the guy career Agreed. He’s going to end up ****ing his career up like brook did.

Stop with the fan girl talk f.aggotry you’re not impressing anyone I agree size matters , that’s why most think Garcia is getting body bagged But to say Spence is a bum if he loses is retarded . If Mikey wins he deserves props for being that guy, I won’t sh.it on Spence for losing it happens , Almost all my favourite fighters have multiple Ls Was Hagler a bum for losing to SRL , Was Oscar a bum for losing to Shane ? If spence loses to Mikey it 100% damages his credibility. I dont get your, it can only be one way or the other kind of thinking, and that's why I called you a fangirl. If mikey wins, he gets credit for accepting the challenge winning over a good WW. We agree! It doesnt mean Spence is trash, but it really hurts his credibility. If people think hes the best WW no way in hell he loses to a LW. Do you not agree? You said size matters. Spence will be proven he isnt as good as people thinks if he loses. How can you argue that? And most of your favorite fighters dont have Ls to a fighter 2 weight classes lower who moved up eh?

Yeah but at same time look how quick people forgot about Khan and Brook jumping up to fight Canelo and GGG. But Im rooting for Mikey but Spence is huge and gets stronger. I don't see how Mikey will survive those late rounds unless he gets on his bike

I never doubt him wanting to fight Spence, I actually got tired of the fight been talked about but no annoucement. You cannot hate on someone chasing greatness.

He deserves credit if he is successful otherwise it's very stupid decision when a Loma fight can be made Spence can ruin the guy career no one has proof that a loma fight can be easily made right now aside from the usual arum lies/spin...arum knew garcia/spence was about to be officially announced so he blew his horn about mikey/crawford and mikey/spence when he knew what was about to happen

Who wanted this fight? No-one

Oh ****. Do I spot a fan girl?? Yeah I do. I think Mikey and spence are both good boxers, but be realistic dude. Size matters in boxing, that's why there are weight classes. I'm gonna root for Mikey but I'm realistic with my outcome. Spence will be too big even though Mikey will be the better boxer. There is NOTHING wrong with that accessment. Could I be wrong? Sure. Its boxing and anything can happen. Imagine this. A welterweight losing to a lightweight. That's what this fight is. EVERYONE would say that the welterweight is trash for losing to a guy 2 sizes smaller including yourself. Use the names spence and Garcia and your opinion changes? How so?

The only notable name for Mikey 140 and below is Loma and Arum isn’t in a rush to make that fight Mikey got trashed for moving up and beating a 140 Champ There’s no names at 140 and there won’t be until there is a winner of the WHSS even then they won’t have much notoriety outside of hardcores I see Mikey as a natural lightweight, not a WW or even a JrWW. He has a small frame, carries some fat at 135, and looks small even against Broner who easily makes 140. Lomachenko is obviously the best fight for Mikey's legacy and vice versa. He also has a few other big fights at 135 including possibly Berchelt which would be great since Berchelt is a big SFW. Even Crawford can come down for a big fight. At 147 he looks puny. Who knows he may pull it off, but its truly an unnecessary risk.

Tbh, it could have gone either way...they only look like idiots cuz the fight is actually getting signed. There was a stage there where it was looking like bs. Either way, I don't like the fight at all. It has the potential to diminish one or both of the loma vs mikey or spence vs bud fights. I never thought it looked like BS and I'll call those people idiots and clowns for the way they always wait with baited breath to mock certain fighters.

So instead of giving Mikey his props if he wins its Spence is a bum Such lame logic Arum ain’t making a Loma fight anytime soon Yeah 2 prime unbeaten P4P fighters fighting is a trash fight Seems logical Oh ****.

The people who said he was doing it for attention are idiots and yes, they should fess up. But, Mikey shouldn't be praised for this. He's cashing himself out and I think it's a cheap move. Shame on Spence too. PBC as well. I don't like any of this taking a mismatch and turning it into a PPV.
