Comments Thread For: Linares: I'd Love Lomachenko at 135, Then Mikey Garcia at 140

The only man with balls in three divisions 126 130 135.

Fighting Loma first was always more logical. Styles make fights. He might be foolish to fight Garcia at 140 though. At least demand a catch weight. Dude is 170 and you're going to just give him 5 extra pounds to make weight? Whoever is managing Linares needs to talk with him ASAP and tell him never to give away 140 in negotiations again. If Linares is also having trouble making 135, then keep that a secret and volunteer to go to 136 or 137 as a compromise in negotiations in exchange for higher $ or something. But going all the way to 140 so Mikey can weight bully you even worse is a terrible idea, and clearly Linares management is not on top of the ball on this one otherwise Linares would have never said that in any interview as if it's no big deal. With a weight bully like Mikey, every pound matters.
