Comments Thread For: Garcia Regrets June Mishap, Appreciates Title Shot

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mikey Garcia had no problems at Friday's weigh-in in Corpus Christi, Texas - but the former featherweight champion had some struggles back on June 14 in Dallas.

Garcia realized in advance of stepping on the scale prior to his last fight that he’d have to surrender his WBO featherweight title before his 12-rounder against Juan Manuel Lopez even began. The 25-year-old Garcia (32-0, 27 KOs) couldn’t get any lower than 128 pounds that day, two pounds more than the featherweight limit.

If Mikey wins as expected, I hope he gives Burgos a shot. Dude was robbed hard, and he should be the one wearing the belt, getting paid to fight Garcia

I wonder if TR can muster enough money to bring over one of the Japanese champs.... but really hoping Uchiyama/Miura unify before hand and Mikey tries to unify the IBF.
Would be awesome to see the winners face off for undisputed status

Burgos will be the mandatory.

Absolutely. He definitely deserves that shot.
