    Mikey Garcia vs Sandor Martin, thoughts?

    According to a quite valid source, Mikey Garcia is fighting Sandor Martin next for a 'stay busy' fight.

    What do you think about that? Do you think Mikey can compete against the top welterweights in his career and actually get a championship belt?

    Sandor Martin is a fighter from Spain who apparently has never fought in American soil in his whole pro career and looks like is in the top 15 at 140.

    Whenever they have to dig up a European fighter with a glossy record it is simply to showcase the star fighter.

      Complete mismatch. No disrespect intended towards Martin who’s a solid European level fighter but he’s still nowhere near the level of Mikey. To put this in perspective, Martin was soundly outboxed by Yigit who just got stopped by Rolly Romero.

        Hopefully it's on an undercard and not the headline bout.

          Ok stay busy fight for Mikey.

          Mikey can`t beat top welterweights. His only reason to be there is for big paydays.

              Oh wow, that example definitely put it into perspective.
              I honestly might watch the fight just because I am a Boxing junkie but I am not excited about it at all. But I get it, Mikey has been out of the ring for way too long anyways.

                That is what you hope for, that the underdog rises to the occasion.

                  Likely not a good fight but as a fan of Mikey I definitely think he needs a tune up. Mikey isnt some athletic phenom and even when active starts slow so personally I think we get the best Mikey Garcia when hes active. Mikeys the kinda guy that if he fought 3-4xs a year hed be extremely dangerous.

                    Yeah true, but they have been lately that cannot be ignored.
                    I do hope this particularly for the Mikey fight but most likely this Sandor guy will fold.
                    I do hope afterwards, Mikey gets a great opponent.
