Garcia Lomachenko

[soul_survivor]

Mikey is too strong and can punch. Loma has a chance to land quick combos but he cant do that for long. Mikey would stop him late.

It's an interesting match-up but I think their both better off campaigning in their own weight class since both 130 and 35 are heating up in competition.

Actually, they are the same height and both are coming up from lower weight divisions. Loma's frame can easily handle 135. There is no huge size difference between them.

Didn't Loma just come up to 130 2 fights ago and mikey was already talking about 140 Saturday in the post fight? Correct me if I'm wrong. He Bigger

id have to see them face to face before i made a prediction. If mikey garcia is considerably bigger than i'd pick him, as good as loma is i cant see a smaller man beating a world class fighter like garcia. That would be a tremendous match up though, massive fan of both guys.

They are both 5' 7" and Garcia has a 3" reach advantage, 68" to 65". That's fingertip to fingertip, with arms outstretched, and reflects the fact that Mikey is broader across the shoulders than Loma. He's naturally a little bigger, but not enough for the good big 'un always beats a good little 'un rule to come into play, imo.

Both are excellent boxers, with Loma having an advantage in speed and Garcia in power. Garcia is easier to read, so Loma would probably rack up a points lead, but if he made a mistake and jumped into one of Mikey's shots, it would be lights out!

Lomo beats him. Lots of people will be losing money when the fight happens.

Loma fought at light weight in the amateurs. Fact is, that his body structure dictates that he can fight at 135 with relative ease and he won't be on the short end of the stick when it comes to size against Mikey. Plus Loma has mentioned going to 135 himself and he has enough power to knock Mickey out. It's not like he would be going in there at a distinct disadvantage.

[Derranged]

Tough fight for Loma, moving up to fight him next might be biting more than he can chew.

And at people saying "Salido" problems. Salido cheated his ass off and barely sc****d by. Now he's ducking a rematch but of course the Loma detractors and Salido sack lickers will give 'em a pass.

Yeah he can fight there, sure. His best weight profesionaly i bet is still 130, maximizing his advantages, and not allowing the potentially nuetralizing factor of a fighting a naturally bigger guy at his preferred and natural weight..Fighting amateur is obviously different, power and kos are largely removed from impacting the outcome of a fight. The 5 pounds would make a difference even if they are the same weight on the night of the fight

We heard it already with Walters - bigger, stronger, if he lands Loma is finished. And we all know how it ended up. Hype train is real with MG after las fight but I think it might be even easier than Walters fight.

Why do you say that?
