Comments Thread For: Arum: Garcia Should Forget 126, Go After Martinez

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum has advised former champion Mikey Garcia (31-0, 27 KOs) to forget about the featherweight division and look full steam ahead at gaining a title at 130-pounds. Arum would like to see Garcia face WBO super featherweight champion Roman "Rocky" Martinez (27-1-2, 16KOs).

BoxingScene.com reported on Sunday that Garcia vs. Martinez is being discussed for a September date. Last Friday Garcia lost his WBO title at 126 after failing to make weight. He was two pounds over, but easily knocked out Juan Manuel Lopez in four rounds the following night in Dallas, Texas.

I like Rocky a lot, but lets call a spade a spade Garcia wins this fairly easy and quite possibly using the same game plan he did for Juanma.....

i agree the bigger fights for garcia are at 130...mares is with gbp so no mares fight..and at 130 garcia has uchiyama, martinez, and gamboa...
