Does Garcia/Broner mean no Garcia/Lomachenko?

Linares is with GBP. Easter is fellow PBC fighter. Somehow nobody even attempted to make Easter vs Garcia. Wonder who is being protected.

Because Easter is fighting his mandatory and Garcia was trying to get the Linares fight. That was gonna set up the Easter-Garcia fight later this year if both won. I specifically remember that being the plan.

He said himself that he's moving back to 135 after this fight. I wanted to see him fight Linares then Easter Jr. Linares didn't want that work obviously

He said that after this fight if he wins it could open the door for #48....

Garcia says he's gonna move back down to 135 (I'm sure only for the right fights).


I don't think Garcia wants to campaign at 140 as long as Crawford is there. I've seen several interviews where Robert Garcia said they are going to avoid that fight for as long as they can.

Actually, he said he would be open to Bud & #48.

Stop it..Lomachenco is not fighting Berchelt,Rigo,or Garcia anytime soon..Arum is scared...

They call it investment protection...lol

They are fighting at the end of the month, fight was agreed to in April so explain to me regardless if it would be a unification bout how Mikey could fight someone already schedule to fight. You sound like some of the casuals who kept saying Mikey should fight Manny next when Manny is fighting in July as well.

Easter and Garcia's last fights were completed only one week apart. Meaning, this April date excuse of yours didn't even exist and Garcia was very much available for Easter. You sound like you're Easter's boyfriend.

Actually, he said he would be open to Bud & #48.

He did. But they said they want to do it way down the road. Top 3 were, PAC, Loma and Broner. Then maybe Crawford. But they've openly admitted to wanting to swerve him for as long as possible

Fair enough. Tbh, glad that Garcia vs Broner was made.

Lmao exactly..

Bump... the longer Garcia fights at Junior welterweight, the harder it will be for him to make lightweight. I'm concerned that he might be drained for a Loma fight.

Also, Loma won't get any credit IF he wins because everyone will just say he took advantage of a situation, even though Garcia was the one who decided to move up in weight, and that everyone was calling for this fight regardless.

Garcia vs Loma is more likely to happen than Swift vs Broner.
