Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Very Possible That Gamboa Could Be Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK — Mikey Garcia smiled wide when a reporter asked about Yuriorkis Gamboa’s social media assault on him.

“That’s all right,” Garcia said at a news conference to promote his fight Saturday night against Juan Carlos Burgos. “He’s looking for a fight. He’s looking for a fight with me, trying to promote a fight. That comes with boxing. Sometimes you get people with loud mouths and it works for them to get fights. So it might be working for him.”

Garcia acknowledged that he wants to battle the trash-talking Gamboa as much as the unbeaten Cuban craves a fight against him. The 26-year-old Garcia (33-0, 28 KOs) must first overcome Mexico’s Burgos (30-1-2, 20 KOs) in their 12-round fight for Garcia’s WBO super featherweight title in The Theater at Madison Square Garden (HBO; 9:45 p.m. ET).

Good training for a Pac fight. Someone speedy with a good punch rate.

Garcia was the first to mention Gamboa's name as a possible opponent, not the other way around. Yuriokis simply said yes he would be happy to fight him, that is the extent of his "trash talking" carnal. IMO Mickey was not calling him out seriously in the first instance, simply using Gamboa's name for press__It has backfired, but worry not uncle Arum will likely step in and say "no." Which leads me to the only trash talk that I have heard thus far, the one this article quotes Mickey and crew worried that Gamboa can cancel a contracted fight "again" as he did with Rios. Now that is real cheap trash talk.

Gamboa gonna take Mickey to school, brake your nose again papo.

Garcias response is very business like, I can appreciate it without the trash talk sinse Mickey has always be humble and confident.
The guy has all the choices in the world and feel confident enough to give a response and name opponents of choice which is better that pretending to leave it all up to the promotion co.
As for Gambia, the man is in limbo, don't think he will be able to resurface with his current promotion and that really is disappointing. The guy is having to make his own waves and here you have mikey talking like Gamboa needs someone to throw him a bone.

Gamboa needs a good trainer like roach to get him back in top form then I'll say he has a chance.

Roach is trash!!

Don't see any reason to bring up the Rios situation other than to use it as an excuse not to face Gamboa or he's talking a cheap shot that isn't relevant now. I mean Yuri had other fights since then and showed up right ?
