Mikey Garcia is NOT the next Rigo

[Bigg Rigg]

If u blaming the opponents for Mikey do so for Rigo aswell. And he's not boring but he's not that exciting either.

[Tay Roc]

I am very concerned about Mikey's chin. Was dropped in his previous fight to Burgos and was rocked bad by Burgos.

Mikey has a high KO%, but that alone doesn't make an exciting fighter nor does it mean he'll always be in exciting fights. But that's besides the point. He doesn't NEED to be exciting, all he has to do is keep stepping up his level of competition and keep winning.

True. Mikey didn't excite but the opponent had a lot to do with that. why a poster would act like this is how its going to be from now on is ******.

And the Agebko fight was Rigo's fault right? At least Burgos opened up and threw more than Garcia. Agbeko managed to have a great accomplishment, he threw less than Rigo!

You're right but Bob and ppl who don't like Chacal are saying Rigo has to be exciting aswell as win. If not it's **** him! That's the problem.

No he's not the next rigo, he's the next canelo, another Mexican hype job

Mikey gettin undue hate, kid looks poised, is strong and has good fundamentals.

His heart and chin may be questioned to a certain extent but he is still starting out at the top level, TBH has faced better opponents than most titlists of his age.

I think he is there for the taking against more dynamic opponents in Uchiyama and even Gamboa because Mikey is too robotic but there's no shame in losing to guys with that level of talent.

This nonsense has to stop. Not every fight has to be a bar fight bloodbath. I appreciate fighters that take risks in the ring and go for knockouts, and Mikey is just that.

How easily people forget this guy had KOed his last 10+ opponents (and floored Salido twice in their TD). He's in one "boring" fight--a fight that he tried to make in every round, and people are dumping on him.

Are boxing fans so mentally bankrupt?

I don't think hbo gives him the Rigo treatment ,which is the point ts is trying to make but for some reason all you dudes got offended or didn't even read the question correctly.

Mikey will fight bigger names at higher weights who will make for more entertaining fights.

[Grimgash]

They both show an unwillingness to open up against out matched and class opponents. I gave Rigo a pass on Donaire but that's it. Mikey could have opened up but didn't in his last fight. That's what they share that people don't like. Also Rigo's had harder competition to be fair, Mikey's chin is extremely questionable tho...so he's just trying to hold out as long as he can imo.

[Redd Foxx]

I'd be hugely disappointed if Mikey turned into Rigo.
