Is Lomachenko afraid of Mikey Garcia?

[Derranged]

Simple question. Vote and discuss if you feel like it.

LOL No. Lomachenko will fight him in 2018. He will also beat Mikey

[The Big Dunn]

No, I don't think he is. However, I think TR and ESPN are not going to risk Loma losing during the duration of the TR deal with ESPN. Maybe the last fight of the deal will be Mikey/Loma.

I think ESPN will pressure TR to make Loma/Manny, which should do very well financially (and saves Manny from the beating Crawford would administer) and will increase Loma's profile significantly should he win, which I expect him to.

Loma Manny is crappy fight and I hope it doesn't happen.

What weight do you think it would be? 140?

[Randall Cunning]

Nah, itll happen the end of next year. ESPN doing 2 PPVs next year, suspect thisll be one of them. Garcia will go Lipinets and Linares, Lomachenko 130 unification and Beltran. End of year for FOTY, P4P n1, lineal 135, every goddamn thing.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Lomas a champion and not afraid of anyone.

It will attract the public and make a good ESPN PPV, which is something they want to do.

Frankly, no other opponent would make for a good PPV unless its Mikey. We know Bob isn't going to do a joint PPV when he can get all the loot for himself.

What weight do you think it would be? 140?

Yes, 140. Manny's camp has said he can make the weight (although that was a while ago) and its between 147 and 135. Maybe they make it 144 or 142.

Loma fears no man. Here's why:

[Fists_of_Fury]

Bob wants that fight to "marinate" lol. It will be the same **** Bob did to Floyd with Manny and others. Bob will duck the fight and blame it on Mikey. Maybe Bob will finally build that stadium lol. Bob works on risk vs reward for his fighter along with what lines his ****** pockets over everything. Bob has been saying Haymon fighters make too much so his go to will be Mikey priced himself out.
