Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Before I Leave 135, I'll Fight Linares in The Summer

[chimichanga2]

This summer is going to be cracking if Canelo-GGG happens too. I gave Mikey a lot of **** and he deserved it but all will be forgiven if you honor your word.

Mikey- Linares should be a good fight. Would love to see Canelo-GGG also. Hope it happens this summer.

Lets be serious he wants no part of Lomachenko. Notice how hes saying he wants to fight Linares before he moves up which to me sounds like that will be his last fight at 135. I think Easter would be a tougher fight for him at 135 and they are both with haymon so it would be easy to make but Mikey doesnt like real challenges

I also have doubts about Mikey's matchmaking but IF he fights Linares that's no duck.Tougher style then Easter.I might pick Easter over Linares but JL still has better resume then Easter and his quick feet will be something Mikey has stayed away from.As far as Loma I really would rather see him stay at where he is best(not that he could not beat best at 35)and I think 30 is where he is best.He is not that big for 30 he puts on 8-10 pounds top that's about right.He does not have the body to move up a lot of div but makes him no less great.

Good fight but I think Easter would be better.

And you can't duck someone that fights 1-2 weight classes lower. Who know he can Rig. went up 2 weight classes so can Loma then

Linares also has some UGLY Knock-out loses.

I'm up for both throw Wilder and Joshua in to.Spence and Thruman too and would be best year in a loooooooooooong time.

Loma isn't desperate like Rigo was for the fight. Loma said he would be fine if Rigo didn't fight him. He exposed Rigo skill wise. Loma will probably move up to 135 soon but by then, Mikey would have settled at 140. Mikey can't be great at 135 (because of Loma) and he won't do well at 147 (because of Crawford/Spence/Thurman). 147 is a stacked division. I think he does really well at 140.

Ducked Easter. Could've unified multiple belts this year alone. Pathetic. And I really defended this guy.

Dude, if Joshua-Wilder and Spence-Thurman happens I think it will be better than 2017 for boxing. Both great fights.

Yup really one believe other two were in part at least to facial damage.But that's been a little bit and still much more mobile target then Easter and has better resume.Like I posted before I might pick Easter to beat Linares but Linares deserves to be rated higher and also believe he would be tougher fight for Mikey.

Agree 100% settle for Wilder v Joshua because the more I think about it Thruman has pretty much already said he wont fight Spence this year.But we can dream lol.
