Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia to Keep WBC Lightweight Title Despite Lipinets Fight

[1hourRun]

??? If Sadam Ali beat Cotto you REALLY think Mikey wouldn't of beat him?? Come-on man you know better then this.

My comment was not about who would win between Cotto and Mickey but that Garcia has proven difficult to negotiate with in order to make a potential match-up with Lomachenko who is a Toprank fighter -- we know the history between Garcia and Arum.

I don't give Mikey credit for Sadam Alis victory, he should of been a man and steppped up, thats like Floyd taking credit from Marquez before Mayweather decided to get in with Manny.

Let's be real, Mikey declined to fight Linares because of the money. GB was smart to ask for 50/50 after not asking for options on Mikey. It makes them look like the good guys while Mikey is seen as he ducked Linares. But come on, Linares has to go overseas to fight for other promoters because GB doesn't want to invest a lot of money in him knowing he wont bring in any. His last fight had less than 2k people in attendance at the Forum. But yet GB is asking for a 50/50 split knowing Mikey would be bringing in all the fans in SoCal. As for Loma, he was never going to fight Mikey in his next fight. He himself has said he would move and acclimate to the division and then fight Mikey. Loma will end up fighting another 130 fighter and then Arum will move him up to fight Beltran or Moses for the WBO title. Loma should have moved up after the Sosa fight to show he was serious he wanted to fight Mikey. Loma/Mikey won't happen till late 2018 or early 2019 if it happens at all.

Keeping his options open but also creating them at the same time if he holds Belts in Different weight Classes. But 2 Fights at 140 back to back, I don't now if he can make 135 again after this

so you're telling me Mikey fights 2 straight fight out of the division and does not defend the title but he gets to keep his status as champ, BUT Rigondaux fights just ONE fight out of his weight class, and is stripped? How Sway *Kanye West voice* ...I mean, After the embarrassment performance Rigo had, I'll strip him too lol, but they were going to strip him if he lost, regardless of his performance.

That was the WBA in Rigondeaux's case; this is what the WBC is doing for Mikey. It depends on the sanctioning body and the fighter.

well yeah, I understand that. What I was trying to say was that you would think their rules are some-what the similar to each-other, but it's the total opposite. Goes to show the Power Haymon has with the WBC. This and the fact that Adonis hasn't made a mandatory defense in years its something unseen with the other sanctioning bodies

Garcia has been proven difficult to deal with but can you really blame him??? He was on the shelf for two years because of Top Skank. And you know DAMN well they would only let him fight if he signed extension after extension. If not I'll show you MULTIPLE links where he does this. Bob Arum is like the NFL but wants to keep you on your rookie contract for EVER no mater how big you get. ODH and Floyd figured this out.

And what they might have agreed to with the sanctioning body.

[ceylon mooney]

Mikey Garcia/Linares/Lomachenko...they all need to fight each other.

man u got
that right. those
are MUCH bigger challenges than broner and limpinets limpinets is taylor made for garcia, and broner chokes or unerperforms any coompetitive matchup.

linares has a grrat work rate, and hi tech is hi tech. worthy challenges for each other.

[ceylon mooney]

Its still a mismatch.I´m afraid that Loma will be involved only in mismatches next year if he can't get Mikey Garcia.

very likely. very likely only
mismatches will be available and willing. i domt think arum has to be so damn picky with lomas opponents the way hes been woth pacquiaos the past few years
