i thought garcia would win 4 rounds vs loma, now i'm sure he won't hear the final bell if they ever fight.

Mikey is all talk... He knows he gets schooled by Loma at 135... Mexican hypejob.

He said the same thing about Salido

Scared loudmouth, talking about fighting Cotto, Linares and Lomachenko and ends up fighting Zlaticanin and Lipinets. LOL!!!

People shouldn't fall for the bait with PBC. Easter most likely likes to eat too... Easter is huge for 135... don't be surprised if he moves to 140. People shouldn't be naive. He did 136.5 in 2014, and couple more times above 135...

Haymon knows how to manage the championship pool. PBC fighters troll the fans. They're all in Haymon's plans...surely they get stipends of some sort to hype the complete roster...Haymon is just a nice and smart guy when they meet him, they trust him, and knows how to show them the money.

In the end Mikey is going to beat Linaers by TKO.

I would agree IF he even signs.

I would agree IF he even signs.

Thats a big IF with all fighters now days.

He’s so eager to fight Linares(easy k.o. win and shines), with the excuse of looking for a belt....

How is Garcia “ ducking “ When Loma hasnt even fought above 130? They are in different divisions and you cant duck somebody who isnt in your weight division.

How are you guys so sure that Loma will be just as effective at the higher weights?

Linares is better than Lomachenko and actually proved himself at LW .

Honestly it is absurd what many people on here who seem to be at a loss about boxing are saying: that Mikey is "scared" of Lomachenko... really???

Mikey just fought Broner less than six months ago. A Broner that was heavier, stronger than Mikey and very fast. Mikey made it look easy to put a beat up on such a dangerous guy, a four-belt in different divisions holder.

I have never ever seen anyone, specially SMALLER than Broner, put such a beat up on him from beginning to end. Yes, a BIGGER THAN BRONER Maidana dropped him twice, but by the end Broner was starting to beat him up.

And of course, yes, Porter did put a beating on Broner most of their fight, but Porter was a natural welterweight, while Broner has never been that, he has always been more comfortable at junior welter. Oh and I almost forgot, Broner dropped Shawn once, in the 12th round. Similar to the Maidana fight, when just by a miracle he wasn't KD by Broner. Contrary to Garcia though, who put an even worse beating on Broner in the last rounds, most specially the 12th.

Bottom line the only guy ever who has put a beating on Broner while being smaller than him, is Mikey. Garcia landed 244 of 783 punches. I mean he threw close to 800 punches to Broner, a much bigger and dangerous guy than Lomachenko will ever be. WHY IN HECK WOULD GARCIA BE SCARED OF LOMA IF BRONER didn't scare him at all? That's just nonsense.
