Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Aims To Make a Statement With Dejan Zlaticanin

[Jsmooth9876]

Is this kid any good? Will it be a competitive fight or what?

This is actually a really great fight...

[wrecksracer]

he never willingly left dumb.ass lol

Sure he did. He chose to sue Arum to get out of his contract. That was a choice.

I like Mikey but how can he make a statement vs someone that nobody has ever heard of?

Just call it what it is... a tuneup bout

This kid is actually pretty good. Its a fairly risky bout for Mikey to take given the lack of credit he might get. He's had one tune up and if you consider this a second tune up then it is a very dangerous one. Who would you like to see Mikey in with at 135 assuming he gets beyond this guy?

This fight is a chance to see if Garcia still has it and if Dejan is the real deal as he's beaten no one other than a shot Ricky Burns.

This is very far from a tuneup. Jorge Linares and Zlaticanin are the two best 135 pounders in the world.

If Mikey can beat him it will make a statement.

Zlaticanin isn't one of the two best fighters in the division. We don't know how good he is for him to get that credit.

If he beats Mikey, then you can talk.

Mikey Garcia is going 2 Counterpunch the **** out of ZLATICANIN!! ZLATICANIN is strong but Mikey has way 2 much skill for this guy!!😎👊👊

Mikey is definitely the better skilled out of the two, but he's the one who carries the brittle chin out of them as well.

Dejan might only need one shot to put Mikey to sleep.

If you like Garcia then you'd probably be aware of what division he is fighting in and who are the belt holders and contenders in that division. Just because his name is almost impossible to pronounce doesn't mean he is a nobody - Flanagan is actually avoiding him.

Now you're gonna ask me who is Flanagan?

Flanagan isn't avoiding him. They tried to get a fight with him but he went in the direction of Garcia instead.

Zlaticanin is good. Kind of a slugger. Good counter puncher.

Mikey should outbox him easy though.
