Comments Thread For: Bernstein: Mikey Garcia vs. Lomachenko Can Become Special Fight

[Robi13]

In my opinion, Mikey’s size and power along with his great fundamentals and timing behind his jab will be more than enough to outclass a game Loma. Mikey sets the pace in this one as Loma will hesitate due to the power in both Mikey’s hands. Mikey mid to late round stoppage

Pigs will fly b4 they let M GARCIA anywhere near LOMO. ARUM knows GARCIA will stop LOMO in lat e rds.

Apparently pigs fly because thats the same crap people said about the bogeyman Rigo that Arum would never let Lom near Rigo. Same sht, different toilet.

I don't particularly care for guys moving down either, especially after I watched Ward vs Dawson or De La Hoya vs Pacquiao. I would much prefer Garcia's next fight be at 135 lbs but, it is what it is. Peace.

Not the same thing...Dawson moved down after fighting at LHW for 6 years, oscar moved down after 10 years...Mikey moved up a fight ago, ffs, and was planning to come back down to 135 immediately after.

Funny that Mikey is back to dealing with Bobfather.
When he was expected to deal with Haymon more.
Considering there are still huge PBC names available for Mikey.
I guess Broner is the only one who stepped up.
Biggest jokes in boxing. PBC fighters.

Is Lipinets promoted by Bob Arum now?

I get your point but I stand by what I said previously. That if Loma wins convincingly, people will say it is because Garcia was struggling to make weight, especially now that he is fighting another fight at 140. I don't think Loma will get full credit.

Who in neptune is Lipinets compared to Lomachenko?
Or Crawford?
I'll side with you if he's fighting Danny Swift, Thurman, Porter, even Easter.

I disagree. Unless Mikey fights at the 140 for 2-3 years, or even tries to move up and take a fight at 147, then I don't see any excuses being made for either fighter, if the fight happens.

The point I'm making is he has yet to sign to fight a Top Rank fighter. If he does fight Crawford or Lomo, yes he'll have to do business with Arum.

Even still, Mikey hasn't said he refuses to deal with Arum, he just doesn't want to be contractually obligated to the guy.

Imo, he fights Easter before one of those guys anyway. I actually thought that was his next fight. This Lipinets **** threw me for a loop.

Mikey Garcia will outbox/school or knockout this hyped fighter. Bob Arum is a smart man and will keep his fake pound for pound fighter fighting featherweight and bantamweight fighters. Want no part of Mikey, he even mentioned it after fighting an old, featherweight Rigo

Trust me, I hope you are right.

He has won titles in 2 weight classes which means he had balls enough to move up and fight the champions. I guarantee you if he moves up and schools Garcia, people will say that Garcia is really a junior welterweight who struggled to make the 135 pound limit. Peace.

He won't fight Garcia. The Walters fight I gave him credit for taking and Rigo was a legit name but he had all the advantages there. Salido gave him a professional boxing lesson.
