Mikey Garcia is NOT the next Rigo

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

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.

How is he knocking people out w/o opening up? You make no sense.

You are doing exactly what I am talking about: Using one performance and generalizing.

Both in my top ten, and I enjoy both. Put either one in with someone who isn't scared *****less and you got a entertaining fight/ko. Some of you guys need to quit hating or at least put the blame on the opponent, who doesn't want to push the action.

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?

Yeap agreed he is never going to be on that level.

If Garcia thinks he's getting past 140 without getting crushed by Garcia or Matthysse he's crazy... Then again they are at GBP, how convenient.

Rigondeaux> Mikey Garcia

I wouldn't get too worked up dude, I've been hearing the same nonsense over and over for the past 4 years and he's still doing his job.

Don't let it get to you, this is same website that say every time Gamboa and Rigo hit the canvas, they were "off balance", yet they get up with spaghetti legs and hold until they recover.

Be cool dude.

i agree with the TS>

I don't think either are boring. The boxing skill on display when they fight, books can be written on it.

[SlySlickSmooth]

I like Mikey, but he got KD by Rocky and almost got one against him against Burgos. The snooze fest was partially due to Burgos being content on boxing and surviving. He wasn't trying to win the fight, Mikey was cutting him off and picking his shots.

I understand what you are saying. One dull fight does not make Garcia a dull fighter. The other guy was a good pro and was not trying to win. He was just trying to finish on his feet. Garcia usually gets the KO so he is not a dull, boring fighter. I am a Rigo fan and I think Rigo is a much better fighter than Garcia.
