Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia to Face Sergey Lipinets February 10 in San Antonio

Yup we can both THINK the same but the fighter NEEDS to prove it.I really gonna love to see how his fanboys try and spin this.Linares =duck Loma=duck and even Easter would have been tougher style then another slow footed square figher.And what bums me out the worst like we said he prob beats them all but Loma and even that would have been tough fight.And I'm not even giving him s hit for avoiding Crawford because he is bigger.But not all that much bigger then Mikey would have been with Loma(who makes 130 easy).

I agree. I do think he's sort of strategically picked his way to 140 (Crawford moving out) and he does need to fight someone of different style to warrant such predictions of him beating the best fighters in the world. I've maintained for a while his style is wrong for Loma but his size would likely win him 2-3 rounds. A feel out round, a round where Loma takes off and a round where Mikey presses urgently. 117-111 Loma. I've felt Crawford beats him 119-109 or 118-110. Again, a feel out round and maybe a round Bud takes off.

I think he beats everybody else but perhaps has more problems early with Linares and Campbell due to skill and size. Easter could cause some problems but can't beat him. Postol if he brought his old form back would be a very difficult match for him.

I think he could just get more money against Lipinets. Went Cotto-Easter Jr-Flanagan-Linares-Figueroa-Lipinets. Lipinets the one that would take the least money

Crawford leaves & all of sudden Mikey wants to move up to 140 when he's been sticking to 135 as a safe haven! I think Mikey is a good fighter but he's nothing like he talks! He make BS comments so his few followers will think he's serious about fighting the best!

he could've fought bud, but fought broner instead lol

I'm gonna be there ringside all the haters are gonna kill themselves after mikey gets a new title in his fourth weight class

[Teetotaler]

Both are much better than lipinets and would be a unification. Those are the fights people wanted.

Mickey straight up ducking our black hope Easter huh? Smh

TRBR has mikey as the #1 Jww and Lipinets at #2. How can anyone possibly have a problem with this fight?

agreed. would have thought lipinets was outside the top 50 judging by this thread.

A great fight for the excellent Mikey. I expect him to be a 140 pound champion when the fight is over. Haters will be forced to stop saying Loma is afraid to face Mikey at 135 because Mikey won't be at 135 if he beats Lipinets.

Maybe cause Lipnets has 13 pro fights and hasn't fought anybody ranked in the top 50?

Well we will never know FOR SURE.Like I said I would have picked him to win both but we can think all we like until its PROVEN its all just BS.And if you cant see that Mikey is avoiding any style except the one he likes best then your blinded by love or don't know boxing.Hell even Broner has no real footwork just stands there and does his poor mans (very poor)version of the Philly shell.

hes not avoiding anyone. linares just went life and death with luke campbell lol, and whos easter beat exactly? Theres nothing to fear from either of them. lipinets is a solid enough fighter and maybe mikey is trying to work his way up to welterweight.

We knew this about him when he avoided the Gamboa fight years back. Crawford dared to be great unlike Garcia and look how their respective careers have played out at the same age.
