Little Mikey isn't so little. There's a reason he's being pushed up to JWW quickly. He's been struggling with weight for a while. Judging from all access, I'd say they're about the same height.

Mikey isn't as big as you guys make him out to be.

Not at all. But he is fast, that's what they were working on for Maidana. How to deal with speed

Well Garcia is a skilled fighter. Having said that, I expect Mayweather to thoroughly outbox him.

No Surprise really but that is a good Sparring Partner to TRY and prepare for Mayweather

You can't take anything from the Broner fight and jump in with Mayweather and think the same strategy will work. Mayweather reflexes, vision and In Ring IQ is 1000x better than Broner.

Maidana will need more than just "POWER" to defeat Mayweather!

Barely. He just has good accuracy and timing. Not very fast.

Pretty sure it had much more to do with the fact that he was likely exhausted by that point (he sparred other people prior to Mikey, check that f*g Elie's videos) than the fact that he couldn't handle Garcia.

Please, take logic and fact elsewhere. Don't you know you're at NSB?

Hell you mean, "she"? When Mikey fought Juanma, he paid a penalty for not making the 126lb FW limit. He's now fighting @ the 130lb SFW limit, and probably walking around near 140lb or more between fights. I remember seeing him throw up on HBO's 2 Days: Mikey Garcia, killing himself trying to make 126lb last year. Maidana's fighting @ the 147lb WW limit, so they are probably not very different in weight right now. Let's not forget, Mikey Garcia is an undefeated champion with 28 KOs in 34 fights. http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?cat...uman_id=364679

exactly. this is a guy in the middle of training for a mayweather fight, and making weight. who knows what kind of work mikey is putting in right now. we know it's not as much as chino. garcia doesn't even have a fight scheduled.

i don't put much stock into this. chino's style is only really effective when you're actually trying to beat somebody up. garcia's style is obviously going to favor the large gloves and headgear, nevermind the fact that they're practicing.


additionally, garcia is not small. he probably walks around over the welterweight limit. he was a f#cking zombie making 126. it's well documented. peep the hbo special. he could hardly flipping move. when he's not training he's probably not all that much lighter than chino is during camp.




when chino loses to mayweather, it won't be because he was getting the business from mikey garcia in a couple of rounds of sparring.
