    I wasn't bored with him nor with Rigo's last two fights. I love knockdowns and KOs as much as the next guy but if they don't happen then seeing a skilled fighter at work keeps me interested.

      Was boring at times, but nowhere near the boring ass ***** Rigo pulls off. You must be kidding

      Only time Rigo takes risk is against journeyman. Garcia actually put himself out there against a good fighter to try and get the KO.

      It did have it's good share of Rigo moments at times.

        He's not exciting, but what can you say...unlike rigo he has support behind him, but if he continues it'll get bad. His biggest flaw is Rigos....he fights down to opponents and when he can take calculated risks he doesn't. He wants to win, but it's hurting his image. He's not a big enough star to be able to take a night off....also yes his chin seems shaky against far less opponents which could be a problem for him....especially if he's talking about moving up and quickly....he's going to be in a world of trouble imo.

          Seeing a skilled fighter at work in a risky fight is impressive. Rigo and Garcias last fights weren't really that....most of Garcias haven't been that. I understand it against Donaire for Rigo but come on now...

            Mikey is Mikey. Intelligent cautious, power in both hands, technical and methodical. Depending on who he is fighting it will be an exciting bout or a dud to some people. Personally I love it.

              You sure? Did you watch Rigo-Donaire? Pretty sure Rigo took risks and let Donaire know who was the man in that ring.

                I was watching this fight and changed it to something else around the 8th rd. I knew Burgos didn't want to engage and Garcia was happy winning by dec.

                  Rigo got style, technique, poise, its a master. Garcia is boring, mechanical, and has not really fought anyone other than people he could outweight.

                    2 counter punchers rarely if ever make for an exciting fight, so the crowd is gonna boo.

                      Mikey is too robotic, too textbook, too fundamental, too serious, too careful. He's like a machine, like a robot in a factory where they build something like cars, chairs and microwaves. He's more built for the discovery channel in some nerdy show like "how it's made" or smth like that. He's got no charisma to me anyway. He's like a no-name brand product, lacks the frills, the bell, the whistles. He's like a bus. Signals, goes up to a certain speed, stops at the bus stops. He's good, strong, efficient, effective, fast but he's just bland. He talks bland and he looks bland, he walks bland. He is bland even in koing people.

                      Rigo has more of an attitude, can rap, has more charisma, can talk trash. Moves like water, doesn't have to do everything like a factory worker. He gets creative with his fundamentals. He's got more ****e and he's fought better fighters. Blocking punches can be boring to the masses, Rigo slips and weaves and it looks more aesthetically pleasing. His offense also seems to be snappier.
