Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia-Rocky Martinez In The Works for Sept. 21

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mikey Garcia lost his title on the scales this past weekend, but the relinquishing of the title apparently came with a safety net. The unbeaten featherweight – who came in heavy for his eventual 4th round knockout of Juan Manuel Lopez on Saturday in Dallas – is being steered towards a September 21st showdown with 130 lb. titlist Roman ‘Rocky’ Martinez.

The fight was discussed long before last weekend’s HBO-televised doubleheader and before it was discovered that Garcia was struggling at the scales. Even with the future somewhat mapped out, the newly crowned titlist did his best to meet the contracted terms for his first title defense. [Click Here To Read More]

It's set and done just confirm it rocky has the power and granite chin Garcia will be in a hell of a fight I think donaire v.s Lopez is still an exciting fight nobody wants to see rigo fight again he's boring

Mikey schools him and pr will have no champs it's funny thinking back cause we had like 5 at one point which was great for a tiny island.

C'mon man, Donaire can KO Juanma in the first round if he wants to, Juanma is done and should retire.

I think if Garcia and Rocky fight, Garcia will make sure it's a boring fight. He'll box all night and although Rocky will keep coming and trying to get him into a brawl Garcia is too technically skilled.

As much as I love watching a warrior like Rocky, Garcia is on that next level compared to Burgos, Beltran Jr and that other dude Rocky faced who was hard done by..

paying off the judges in martinze's last 3 fights pays off!
