    Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Martinez Fight Close, I'd Fight Gamboa

    Mikey Garcia is coming off a very dominant victory over former champion Juan Manuel Lopez as he disposed of him in just 4 rounds. Garcia, who lost his title at the scales after failing to make the contracted weight,is already in the process of scheduling his next bout which would be for a world title in a new weight class against Rocky Martinez.
    “They are still in negotiations and finalizing a few details. It was talked about and they agreed so they just have to come up with the right date and like I said, finalize details and then sign the contract. They also mentioned a few other opponents but right now, it seems like Rocky is the number one guy that we are looking into” Garcia would tell BoxingScene.

    While the Martinez fight appears to be next for Garcia, there is one fighter who has been calling for a fight with Mikey and that is undefeated Cuban Yuriorkis Gamboa. Gamboa recently did an exclusive interview with BoxingScene Radio where he disclosed he’d be willing to come back down to 130 pounds to challenge Garcia.

    Garcia was asked what his thoughts were on Gamboa mentioning his name and at the possibility of fighting him.

              Mikey should fight Burgos when he beats Martinez. A lot of people felt burgos beat Martinez when they fought.

              I guess its still a marketable fight but Gamboa wasn't impressive his last fight. He may never be the Gamboa we saw pre-PED scandal.

                  I believe it was his trainer/brother Robert who said that. It's not a big deal. Gamboa was a terror back then, and Garcia was still coming up. Yuri hasn't looked impressive in his last two fights, and Mikey is looking like a beast. I think we'll be seeing the "Ciclon" of old if this fight happens. It's a terrific match-up. Bring it.

                    Gamboa is a different animal south of 135, though he didn't look that good against Farenas. I still like Garcia in this one, his patience will be key as Gamboa likes to get overanxious and start lunging in. I think Garcia is too methodical, better boxer and I'm more than certain he will score at least one or two knock downs to win a comfortable U.D.

                    The Martinez fight is garbage in my opinion, it's whatever though.
