mikey garcia's resume, are you impressed?

[danceswithfire]

i'm seriously more impressed with loma's esp he's a baby in the pro game, the guy went straight to walking

[Vegemil]

Well we can't exactly compare resumes since Loma came into the pros at such a late age. He already had the experience to do what he does. Mikey's resume is hella impressive any way you look at it. His wins against the similar competition were against younger, hungrier versions. Plus Mikey has never really had trouble in any of his fights.

[Redd Foxx]

Yes, I'm impressed. He hasn't taken a lot of damage and still looks sharp so he's got a lot ahead of him. And, if you're comparing him to Loma, they're both almost the same age (Loma just spent forever in the amateurs) so this "baby" idea is a misfire. I don't know why people try to use one boxer to make an attack against another. Both are looking great. No reason to like one and not the other just because they look like future opponents.

i beg to differ coz i thought salido was turning the tables before the stoppage , i think mikey's heart is suspect

baby in the pro game and i thought that was a given that did not need an explanation

Yeah I see where you're coming from seems like a lot of people noticed the decline in Mikey's performance during the Salido fight. We'll never know what would've really happened though so I'll take my chances and say Garcia would've adjusted and won easily.

That is somewhat meaningless though because it's not like he's going to get an extra 7 years added onto his pro-career just because he fought amateurs until he was 26 or whatever. Because a lot of what he does relies on athletic ability and movement, some speculate that he might not even have a particularly long pro career (I personally think he'll find ways to adjust but we'll see).

[ShoulderRoll]

He brutalized and dominated Salido, knocking him down four times. He also destroyed Rocky Martinez and murked Zlaticanin in such a way that he will be in the running for KO of the Year.

His resume is just as impressive as Lomachenko's. If not more so.

meaningless?. how many fighters had amateur experiences and fought 50% ex/current world champs in their first 9 bouts?. loma is a 1%'er
