Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Bob Arum Won't Allow Lomachenko to Fight Me

It's pretty obvious what Mikey's saying is true


When was the last time a Top Rank A side was in a actual 50/50 or a fight they weren't favoured in

The last I can think of is May/PAC but Arum made sure he got every last $ out of PAC before it happens plus the fight was so big he really had no choice but to make it.

its obvious based on what? didnt loma just fight one of pbcs darlings a couple years ago in a 50/50 fight? we could very easily say well haymon doesnt want another of his fighters to lose and thats why he hasnt made an offer for a loma fight. garcia just had the chance to fight another promotions fighter and become champ at 135...oh he chose to fight random pbc fighter who sucks but lets ignore that even though thats precisely the thing you are complaining that top rank does.

loma was available and nope he chose to fight lipinets and run his mouth. thats his strategy it seems. talk a big game and fight no hopers. steadily move up the ladder based on hollow achievements like winning belts off of unknown bums like lipinets and wait as others lose. unfortunately this is a tried and true strategy that works on some fans.

Buahahaha...loma's fake resume?
Hahahahahah...
Cant stop laugh read this post

Then enlighten us as to why his resume is anything special. Enlighten me to how his resume isn't full of tiny no hopers & guys coming off hortible losses,yrs inactivity etc. He fought 4 a gift wbo title in his 1st fight ffs vs a fw bum. He lost it to salido then was allowed to refight for the same exact belt vs another inactive midget in russel. Lomas ENTIRE resume would be schooled by Broner ffs. Loma is the biggest hypejob since ggg bar none.

Bob gets criticized allot and rightfully so, but even though Lomachenko is a awesome talent, Bob Arum has carefully matched Lomachenko against the right fighters at the right time. Bob is catching these good fighters coming off layoffs who are top talent but have been in the garage rusting. Or catching them at a weight disadvantage or off a loss or coming off a grueling last fight. Lomachenko is awesome because he's answered the bell every time out and preformed well under the bright lights. But Bob Arum is building this guy up right, promoting him on Espn and making him a star. Hekk Bob is making a guy like Jeff Horn a rising star in boxing and that guy couldn't hold a candle to the other guys in the 147 pound division. Seriously Horn wouldn't beat Amir Khan, Brook, Peterson, Danny Garcia, Porter, Berto, Thurman, Spence, Vargas, Crawford and maybe even Mattysee beats him. Yet Bob Arum got Jeff Horn a belt at the expense of Manny Pacquiao. And who knows Bob might turn Crawford-Horn into a trilogy for money lol

Broner vs Lomachenko make it happen at 140 lol I can only imagine what the lead up to that fight will be.

I have zero doubt whatsoever that loma would get beat by Garcia,I mean look at their body of work loma despite fighting at 135 equivalent in olympics has fought nothing but tiny midgets coming off horrible L's & inactivity,& lost to the biggest guy he fought who mikey destroyed 1 yr BEFORE loma got beat by him after going to war despite mikey kding him 4x. Mikey has been fighting guys bigger than him or his own size for many yrs & hes the same exact size as loma,loma just boils himself down to fight guys hes made move up. It's not even an argument at this point that Garcia would beat Loma & Loma knows it.
