Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Embraces Vasyl Lomachenko Showdown

[PunchyPotorff]

Mikey is bigger than Loma, maybe just as skilled in the fundamentals but probably hits harder too. Yeah he has had a bit of a lay off but Loma has done nothing in his career to suggest he could beat a fighter like Mikey.

Hopefully we'll see sooner than later. My pick is Loma. Garcia hasn't shown that level of talent IMO.

Talent doesn't win you fights, otherwise Jones would have never lost.

But I do hope we get this fight...problem is, by modern standards, it will probably take 2 years of "marinating".

Lameochicken won't even give Russel a rematch, no way gets in the ring with Garcia. Dude aint ****...

[mathed]

Mikey might want to think twice about that. Loma picks him apart.

[RomanReigns]

When was the last time he fought in a boxing ring? He needs some tuneup fights before he fight Lomachenko.

Talent is what wins fights except for the odd fight where the talented fighter gets caught with a bomb. But yes, we need this fight to happen, like I said, sooner than later.

Skill is more important than talent.

Talent provides speed, reflexes and power (natural gifts given to some sportsmen) but it doesn't provide brains, preparation, a plan, boxing IQ, sound fundamentals etc etc. That comes from hard work and putting in the miles. Plus, it doesn't always account for size either.

Garcia is an overrated fraud who drains himself to the max to fight little guys. This is like a Canelo but much, much worse.

No respect for this POS cheater. Stay out of Boxing!

You'll never absorb skill as well if you don't have natural talent. They go hand in hand.

Of course, I'm not saying natural talent is irrelevant. I'm saying a fighter or any sportsman being more naturally talent don't mean **** if they don't work hard enough or don't have skill.

Both Mikey and Loma are naturally talented so the winner will be down to whoever is more skilled and better prepared.
