Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Lomachenko vs. Mikey Garcia is 50-50 Super Fight!

[MrShakeAndBake]

Mikey wins and it won't be close. Just too big and has shown his pop is devastating at 135 hell he was able to rock Broner at times at 140. Mikey is big will eventually fight at 147. Loma might win a few rounds early but I've seen Loma get hit by mediocre 130lb fighters if he takes the same shots from Mikey it's lights out.

Rigo could not land anything on Loma, how is much much slower fighter like Mikey supposed to land a shot ?!

List them if you can b/c I've only seen one person own it. It was obivious Rigo had no chance for a few reasons. One guy tried to argue with me about who had the better hand speed lol I was thinking, "Do you watch boxing?"

The names would be clutch

Here are phrazes of 2 most high volumo noisers.

That was Lom's 2nd fight and he learned and adjusted and uses much more movement. Lom will use angles and footwork as he has done since he learned from the Salido fight, reminiscent of Aaron Pryor who made straight forward fighters unable to cope with that style.

It's possible, but I need to see it to believe it. Even though I am a Rigo fan, I predicted him losing this fight, but never saw him quitting.

Because Mikey will be the big bully when they fight, just like Salido was. U gotta bully Loma if your gonna beat him, cause u won't out slick him or out quick him.

Fighters r quitting not because they can't find him, rather because they're scared of his countering power, so they became too scared to throw punches, but Mikey won't be .

Loma IS P4P #1.

I can see it, but he's missing a in his prime, elites level guy who's his size which Mikey would fit the bill or a Crawford but that ship has sailed!

A Mikey win does it for me but that's your opinion, I feep Crawford being undisputed and being the first 140 CHAMPION is history book level stuff! He beat guys his size or taller and longer and who were active champs while completely dominating them!

Now, what Loma did to Rigo is unprecedented, never thought I would see El Chacal quit!

Loma is gonna have an even harder time gettint top opponents!

Mikey is bigger, but if he can't keep up with Lomachenko's speed, he will have a tough time. I give Loma a 60-40 edge.

Lets not forget a detail that could be significant! A lot of people question Garcia quitting against Salido. Many fighters have fought through a broken nose and Garcia did not. That could be an ominous sign as well as the fact that Salido was coming on strong made Garcia think twice about continuing and chose not to. And to top that off, Salido had a broken orbital bone in that fight and did not quit. And Mayweather faced a lot of bullies, a couple bigger than him and he pulled it out each time. Movement and defense is the key in fights like these. Garcia wont be able to hit the backside of a barn with a bag of rice in this fight.

Boxing can be such a crazy sport, guy beats his supposed boogeyman and before the news is fully digested mofo's are onto the next one. It'll be a great fight but we just saw how predictions can go when you are going against someone with so much talent. Like it or not Loma right now is arguably the most talented fighter in the sport, if the kid had pop he'd be one scary mofo. I fk's with Mikey and am aware of his skills so it'll make for an interesting battle.

Mikey should win. But holy **** if he doesn't what a statement by Loma.

[Scipio2009]

Garcia would be a great fight for Loma at lightweight. Out of anybody in the divisions close to Loma, Garcia is the only one who stands a chance at actually beating him.

Robert Easter Jr is right there, is a massive dude for 135lbs, and all of that bait movement isn't going to get Lomachenko to win 7 of 12 rounds (and he sure as hell isn't knocking anyone out at 135lbs).

What are we talking about here?

Lomachenko is 29 years old, and just fought at a morning-of weight of 139lbs. for all of the marvel, his connect percentage for the fight was in the teens.
