Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Plan: Flanagan Next; Build Toward Mikey Garcia

[Tatabanya]

Loma will destroy Flanagan, he won't win a round even if the fight is in the UK

Spot on. Flanagan is living off his 2nd-round destruction of a second rate contender (Diego Magdaleno). Other than that, his fights have been a constant bore against nobodies.

Garcia would knock him out inside three rounds à la Zlaticanin; Lomachenko would do even more damage - prolonged damage.

so probably 2-3 fights away from Garcia....it's smart of him to go after the easier fighter for the title,,then unify,hopefully mikey stays at 135,i think lomachenko is probably wishing mikey will be gone by then

I'd love to see Lom live. The last time I wanted to really see a fighter live was Mayweather vs Carlos Gerena in Vegas to see all of Mayweathers skills on display and I got to see that. The other fighter was Roy Jones.

Mikey Garcia and Lomachenco both want Flanagan. Idk how this is going to workout lol. If Garcia gets the fight then Army has no choice but to make the Garcia fight

As a current WBO champion and Top Rank fighter, Lomachenko will get first dibs on Flanagan. Warren probably also prefers him since he's smaller and doesn't hit overly hard

Mikey vs Linares, #1 vs #2, is the fight to make at lightweight, everything else should be secondary to that

I don't see this fight happening. Too big of a risk for Flanagan and there is no reward in it for him. If anything, he will take the fight with Linares. It is the best option for both and it will happen in the UK.

Somebody buttered Diego's shoes. He couldn't stand without slipping.

That Flanagan fight is complete crap.
There are still good fights to be made at 130.

[DadeCounty305]

How much longer can Mikey even make 135?

As long as Bud making 140. Mikey doesn't want that pressure!

UK money. Pounds or Euros are waiting. Loma vs (fill in) will stuff any arena in England. I don't want to see Crolla after his losses (I'm still a fan), so Flanagan it is.

But isn't that the most logical outcome? I think we have a better chance of getting Spence v. Crawford over any of these other fights. But Garcia v. Crawford will happen sooner than Loma v. Garcia imo.

I'm.just saying I hope we get 2 of the 3 in at least one fight before they all make that move. I dont care which 2,but I lean towards Loma-Garcia.
