well he had fights available to him but he thought he deserved more so they never happened. i'm sure you will defend him of course. just like you defend ward when he tried to fight bums for 2 millino a pop and hbo said no. im sure you will bring up ggg is fighting bums while ignoring that he tried to fight everyone first, ward did the opposite. bums first ignored everyone else.

Maidana is tough but everybody knows he can be hurt and dropped.
That aside, Mikey Garcia has a lot of talent but yeah, he's career is being wasted at the moment. For about 2 years they have been saying the issues are almost resolved and he'll be back soon, and it never happens.Comment

Is Elie Robert Garcia's slave or something?Comment

If you are 130lbs lean and in shape and another guy is 175lbs out of shape, I can see how the smaller guy can get the better of the bigger guy.Comment

Theres really no point to this. Maidana could be in the shape of his life and he would still get koed by Mikey regardless. Mikey has already hurt him multiple times while sparring for Maidana's fights despite the headgear and weight discrepancy.
Theres levels to this game.Comment

It no big deal that a fighter dropped another fighter in sparing.....but if it was ggg wgo dropped another fighter he would have been a KILLA!Comment

It's true there are levels, but that's sparring, how many good fighters take an "L" in sparring? We saw Mikey take knock downs in his last two fights before his hiatus, to Roman Martinez a pretty sloppy fighter in his own right, and Burgos. While Maidana's last two opponents, Mayweather and Broner, Maidana looked pretty good. You don't get better by sitting out. I think Maidana crushes Garcia in a real pro boxing match with their record on the line. Sparring is sparring, nothing is really on the line except for a sparring story in which you lost.Comment

Mikey Garcia literally got hit once in the Rocky fight. Burgos hurt him, didnt drop him. So two total shots in two separate fights. He has good defense. Hes chinny, but skill level wise, much higher than Maidana in pretty much every category other than power.
Maidana has always struggled against boxer types. It would be no different here.
Mikey is also a way better boxer than someone like Broner and much closer to Mayweather skill-wise than vice-versa, with just enough pop to have a good chance at stopping him. Maidana probably wouldn't go all gung-ho on Garcia due to this. And at a slower, more measured pace, is all the more advantage to Garcia.
Of course sparring is totally different, but both these guys have pro fights, and we know a lot about how they fight. Sparring results are created in a bubble of circumstances different from those of a regular fight and are generally meaningless, but there are some snippets and pieces of truth in it.
Maidana is too lacking in boxing skill and you can clearly tell that Mikey hurts him in sparring with single blows with headgear on. Maidana is mentally tough, but hes not the most durable fighter. Maidana has to catch him, and I wouldn't bet on the fighter who needs to get a bit lucky to land his shots consistantly. Im not saying Maidana cant win, this is just the way I would see the fight going.Comment
