Wouldn't be mad if this is both guys next fight. I'm more into this fight than Mikey vs Linares. Mikey flipping around all over the place & talking about doing everything & goes to fight a novice champ vs all the better stuff out there so whatever with him in the 1st half of 2018. Like Mikey, but he deserves to get left out here if he does happen to get left out.

What is all this better stuff? I don't keep up with these weights too much, but from my understanding, Linares is the best option for Mikey. But negotiations broke down for whatever reason and so Mikey is fighting the only person who has a title at 140, besides Crawford, who oddly enough still has one. Sure, its an easy title, but outside of Linares what better option does he have? Is there a better fight at 140? Easter? Saw Easter on Spence undercard and I was not impressed at all. I had Fortuna winning, actually. And I was rooting for Easter.

And don't say Loma. Neither you or me is ****** enough to believe there is any chance of Arum allowing that.

Honestly, who? I don't know. Had never saw Mikey before AB, but that fight made me a fan.

It says a lot that Lomaputa and Linares are in a hurry to negotiate when it comes to each other but when it comes to Mikey Garcia you hear crickets from them. They know if they lose to each other it'll be from a 12 round slapfest whereas against Garcia they risk getting knocked the f**k out.

Just hurry up and get this slapfest done with so Garcia can beat the s**t out of the winner.

Did you do know that Linares offered Mikey a fight and Mikey refused? It's common knowledge, easy to verify. No offence, Just sayin, because it seems like you totally missed that fact or just didn't know.

But that's cool, now you know.

Seems to me that Golden Boy is holding a grudge cuz Mikey didn�t sign with them. Just let me uncle bob is. So they�re trying to take fight away from him.

Linares offered Mikey a fight but Mickey refused, simple as that.

Now that Mikey refused to fight Linares Lomachenko will likely take the fight instead. If Lomachenko wins he'll try to fight Mikey at 135 because he thinks Mikey is slow and very beatable. Frankly, Lomachenko told Mikey to his face, it's on film, very easy to verify.

Lomachenko will take the same exact offer that was made to Mikey. Why? Because in the end, it was a good offer and Lomachenko really wants the fight and Mikey didn't, simple as that. All the other stuff is sadly just BS.
