Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Granted Promotional Release From Top Rank

[about.thousands]

Mikey is one of the most skilled Americans in the game today. Hopefully he has stayed in the gym during this 2+ year layoff. I'd love to see him knock Broner out.

He's always at the gym on those ESN videos at Garcia's gym. He sparred Maidana & Rios to get them ready for their fights. He doesn't look out of shape

Can't wait to see him back in the ring!

How did he waste his career? Y'all act like fighters are supposed to accept anything. Mikey knew he was right and he stood by his principles and in the end he was proven right.

Of course it's wasting a career. All Mikey had to do was to finish a contract he signed (yes, I expect any person to honour contracts they sign) and could have gone to Haymon or Oscar or whoever at the end of 2014. Instead, he chose to wait 2 years (losing out on a few purses) to get in the same position he could have easily been in 1.5 years ago.

Excellent news.

Let's hope this long layoff hasn't hurt him. Dude was on a roll before this happened. Bob thinks he's slick by shelving prime years from fighters like he just did Garcia. We shall see. Always enjoyed Mikey.

That's good to hear but I don't think he should skip the lightweight division. It might be a bad move cuz his last fight was at super featherweight.

Sweet, Mimey has P4p talent

Can't wait to see him fight again hopefully in the summer

[ShoulderRoll]

Free at last.

Welcome back, Mikey. We look forward to seeing you fight again.

At least he'll fight again. But he wasted his career for no reason.

???? He's only 28? He wasted a couple of years but not a career. The way Bob Arum does business it was probably well worth it! Bob would just of tried making him sign an extension his last fight of their contract and if he didn't. But him back in the closet then.
