Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: If Lomachenko Comes To 135 - We Have To Fight

[Metho_4u]

A lot is going to do with how Garcia looks in his next fight. Some fighters don't come back as strong as before they were away from the sport. Garcia is facing a busy, determined, unbeaten fighter next. A lot will be gauged on that.

I would love to see the fight, idk how long Garcia could stay at 135, and I think Crawford would beat him at 140. Garcia is certainly highly talented and it would be another year of the top guys facing each other more often, which is also good.

I hope this year turns out to be great because there are serious great matchups that could be made.

Indeed there are, though I'd like to see Garcia vs lomachenko and then win or lose, fight Crawford, Tim Bradley, etc etc....lot of good possible match ups there.

Riight. He'll fight Loma if the price is right. What's so special about that?

[My Low Place]

Dude, he got a fair offer, it was HIS HIGHEST PAYDAY, plus another 300k from lomachenko....Walters waited and iirc he only got 300k instead. Do you honestly think at ANY time he would've beaten lomachenko? Lmao, I really hope you do so I can lol again.

it doesnt matter wat i honestly think..bob arum and loma played politics..like i said before loma's numbers does not say he is a fuggin A side..im not interest in changing rules to make him or anyone else great..ONLY FAIR FIGHTS WILL TELL WHO THE GREATS ARE..if u are fine with bs politics in the sport then u are wat is wrong with boxing..

According to trainers, world class boxers and other students of boxing, Lomacheco is a special talent. He doesn't duck anyone. This is the guy who insisted on fighting for a world championship in his first pro fight. That didn't happen, but he did win a championship in his second pro fight. He is regarded as the best amateur fighter ever. That covers a lot of ground, including Sugar Ray Robinson, Laslo Papp, Teofilio Stevenson, Cassius Clay and the rest. The scary thing is that he is getting better, improving with every pro fight.

well according to the fact walters was out of the ring 2 years..according to me if salido can beat you the best of walters will be a problem for you as well..

the tape of loma watlers shows me that if walters had better stamina and prep time he would have pulled off a much better fight.

ffs, stop feeding this boring troll

[Gillie]

i picked walters bc i'm tired of loma's "if you beat me" and "even tho you beat me" bull****...
salido beat him and they still wouldnt pay salido
he told walters "no fight bc u have no title" remember??
did walters have a title last month?? nope
but he had a year layoff...
i guess year layoff sounds like UNDISPUTED FUGGIN CHAMPION

fighters being liars and political strongholds instead of being fighters...an u're mad at ppl picking against him?

No. I am not mad at people picking against him. I just find it annoying when people pick a guy to win, that same guy loses and suddenly he wasn't any good to begin with. A year layoff is long but did you hear Max Kellerman and Roy Jones after round one? They both observed that Walters didn't look rusty at all. When Lomachenko kicked it into overdrive is when Walters started looking bad.

Garcia vs Pacman @140

Loma didn't win a title until his third pro fight. He lost to Salido in his second pro fight. Just saying..the rest is pretty spot on!

Thanks for setting it straight. I appreciate it. I think the acrimony and rants people post about foreign fighters sometimes obscures the fact that professional boxing is now truly global and getting better.
