Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia vs. Jorge Linares Ordered By The WBC

[filup79]

Mikey is signed to Haymon who is golden boys enemy so I doubt this gets made but a decent test for mikey if he does. Not a lot of options at 140 so hopefully he takes this fight and grows a pair of balls and really tests himself against someone like lomachenko afterwards. Mikey passes the eye test but he hasnt beaten anyone to deserve his p4p ranking. He sat on the shelf for almost 3 years rather than face Gamboa

Mikey isn't signed to Haymon, he works with him on a fight by fight basis. Mikey is ready to fight in December just like he was ready to fight Linares in July. Linares wasn't ready and Mikey moved on to someone else. Loma is all talk, he could have moved up to 135 in his last fight to acclimate to the weight and fought Mikey in December, Loma instead ends up fighting 2 smaller guys from a lower weight.

Mikey does not have a lot power here, Linares is his mando if he refuses GoldenBoy will request a purse bid, from there its up to Mikey to accept or vacate his 135 WBC lightweight title.

Mikey has all the power, Showtime is going to back Mikey . Mikey is ready to fight in December, is Linares? Oscar and Linares could accept the offer or they could go to purse bid where I'm sure Haymon and Showtime will win.

If a guy holds every belt who decides on mandatory contender?

The first belt that he won, its for dates.

Doubt it happens. Mikey was ready to fight Cotto at 154 not too long ago and he just fought at 140. No way he drops back down to 135. The Lightweight division is in his rearview mirror.

I hope it happens!

Linares one of the most committed, leaves everything in the ring....great fight!!!!!

First of all I dont know the deadline as to when this fight is expected to occur so I guess Mikey can fight who he wants on December however he still has to fight Linares regardless or vacate.

I didn't know Al Haymon or Showtime were promoters but yeah they can hire Dibella or Mayweather promotions I guess, either way who wins the purse bid and who gets perks I really don't care I want to see the fight.

After watching Garcia's incredible timing against a must faster Broner I see Garcia winning. Great fight, I'll be watching. I don't know why anyone wants to watch Broner though. He looked terrible against Garcia and Just hasn't looked special since he moved up weight, plus he's a total jerk

broner didnt throw any punches...he was super fast holding his gloves up the entire fight.

Mikey is better, but Linares is good enough to have a chance.

Excellent fighters. I expect Mikey to win, but expect a nice competitive fight.

I am still unsure of Mikeys chin
