Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia: Mikey's Too Big to Fight Lomachenko Right Now

[Robbie Barrett]

what is you getting on?..Mikey isnt exactly freed up..loma's free but mikey took another fight..

So Loma should be looking at a fight at 135 to prepare for Garcia.

[thack]

Garcia is spot on here

Why don't he move up and fight Garcia instead?

Makes too much sense. Why bring guys up 1-2 weight classes for fights??? If you cant get good ones at your current class move up. Dont fight guys smaller.

Did you read the article? He said it's not the case of if Mikey is ready, but when Loma is ready.

They're waiting for Loma.

Didn't you see another Mickey article yesterday saying Linares is his last fight at 135?
It's not even about willingness to, but follow orders from WXYX.
Has nothing to do with Loma's readyness.
Mickey wants to stay at 140 and want no part of 135, end of story.
Strange part is he himself is the one calling out these fights and only to say no later.
This Mickey is a very confused individual.
He needs another 2 years break to sort things out.

Or watch him stay at 135 and beat Loma like Salido did.

loma is ranked #1 after only 11 pro fights, mikey was not even top 100 after 11 fights.

Thats the ???? How do you prepare to fight guys at upper levels by fighting Marriaga coming of a 12 round beating??? I didnt even have him win 1 round his previous fight and guess who brings him up his very next fight...

There's nothing available @ 135 now. Everyone has fights. I think Loma needs Ogawa, Machado, or Cuellar @ 130, then move up for Beltran if he wins the WBO Lightweight title! That sets Loma up for a unification @ 135 vs. the winner of Garcia vs. Linares! Garcia vs. Linares is going to happen this summer!

[Andrij]

watch mikey move up to 147 then

HAHAHAHA. Yes thats realistic when Loma comes to 140.

[Shadoww702]

loma is ranked #1 after only 11 pro fights, mikey was not even top 100 after 11 fights.

Mikey also wasnt 27 years old. And he still doesnt have a loss like Loma does.

Linares is a 135 fighter. If Loma fights at 135 then make the fight in the summer. This is basically Robert saying they want Loma fight at the weight before. So they don't have excuses.
