Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia: If I Had a Choice - Mikey Faces Lomachenko Next!

There both 5'6. Loma kills him

height wise yes, but body mass, mikey is thicker.

Tell Haymon to make the call... I'm riding with Loma... Loma is Pacquiao + Whitaker and Garcia is just another come forward Mexican...

The one guy that beat Loma was a......? Right, a come forward Mexican. And Garcia beat Salido. I'm not sure who wins. I'd probably lean toward Loma. I just don't see Arum making the fight, though.

Why fight a small guy instead of waiting on Crawford

Because Crawford is one of the biggest 140 lber that I've ever seen. He's also moving to 147 after hos next fight.

Man Crawford walks around at least over 150lbs.

Loma is simply too small Mikey kills this dude.

I don't know about that bro. Garcia will have a big size advantage but Loma is crafty and has excellent foot work which would help him avoid at least some of Garcia's power. It would be interesting to see if Loma could control that aspect for the entire fight. If not, and Garcia relies less on finesse and more on sheer strength and power, then I think Garcia could catch him and end it. Still a hell of a good fight though for as long as it lasts. Peace.

a good big guy will always beat a good small guy.

CRAWFORD is champ at 140. Mikey should fight him!

Have Crawford come to 135 then... I could use a good laugh seeing him look like am aids patient. He's HUGE even at 140. Sht he would he even big at 147.

Good point. Can you remember the last time that the opposite occurred? Where the good small guy wins?

He comes to the ring weighing 160.

He had more body mass because he just fought at 140. He's not much bigger than Lomachenko in body mass. It wasn't a problem for Mikey to go up, it shouldn't be a problem for them to meet at 135.

I favor Lomachenko because he would have the advantage except for punching power.

why does garcia continue to call out smaller fighters let the fool man up and fight an undefeated champion from his own division like crawford
