        They're probably not too far apart in walk around weight so I could easily see this fight being made at 135 unless Crawford moves up soon. Great fight.

          let me get this straight. crawford is bigger, has better boxing ability. has the better chin (has beaten the crap out of gamboa. who he wanted no parts of) has even beaten up mickey himself in the amatuers. is way more mentally dedicated & strong (as proven by garcias refusal to make weight in a couple of bouts and quitting in another bout) I'll tell you how this fight would go. Crawford starts off out boxing mickey on the outside, eventually hurting him and never allowing mickey back into the fight & that would be that..........

            It's cute how all of the scorned Cubanas voted for Crawford.

            I'm with them though, I got Crawford by the slimmest of margins at this point.

            Crawford's last 5 fights (Gamboa, Burns, Klimov, Sanabria, and Prescott) and Garcia's last 5 fights (Burgos, Martinez, Lopez, Salido, and Barros) in comparison are pretty much dead even.

            I'm going with Crawford because Garcia pretty much views boxing as a job, it's not his passion, which he has stated before, and I think that mentality in a tough fight against another highly skilled boxer like Crawford would be his downfall. I could be wrong though.

            Crawford seems to be moving up to 140 though. They should feed Antonio DeMarco to him. Crawford should beat him, but if DeMarco can take Crawford's punches pretty well then I think DeMarco would go out guns blazing like he did against Linares, which should make for a pretty fun fight.

            I think DeMarco headlined a show in Nebraska once too.

              Scorned Cubans? Crawford at least showed he had huevos to face Yuri and won in impressive fashion.
              It's not a matter of being bitter that Crawford stopped Gamboa but more so realizing now that Crawford has a much better shot at beating Garcia.

                    You hate Mexicans for some reason.

                    And I don't hate Cubans. I don't care for Yuriorkis Gamboa, Erislandy Lara, or the 5 or so Cuban fans on here.

                      When was it ever implied that I 'hate Mexicans'
