Comments Thread For: WBC Prez is Firm: Mikey Garcia Must Fight Jorge Linares Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

This past week it was reported that a deal was imminent for WBO super featherweight champ Vasyl Lomachenko and WBA lightweight champ Jorge Linares to square off. However, Linares also holds the position as WBC Diamond champion and had been ordered to face Mikey Garcia, who also holds a WBC title at that same weight, after both champions had a voluntary defense.

He had a spine when he stripped Canelo for refusing to fight GGG.

Diamond belt?wtf? This is whats wrong with boxing too many titles!!! Most of the reasons is because too many champions are sitting on titles!!! Holding the belts hostage fighting once or twice a year!!!😡

[aboutfkntime]

Loma/Berchelt and Linares/Garcia are the fights that should happen

[1hourRun]

It be funny is Mikey vacates and leaves Linares and Sualiman hanging, maybe Linares wont risk a high profile fight with Loma and drop the mandatory position/diamond belt -- after all he will still be WBA champ if he beats Vasyl.

If Garcia stays at 140 Linares gets left without a big fight, no Lomo no Garcia ; this already happened to Jorge with Terry Flanagan a few weeks ago when that chicken decided to pick on a American prospect ( Maurice Hooker) for the vacant jr. welterweight title.

So what do you do if you are Linares? trust Mikey or secure a fight with Lomochenko?

[Motorcity Cobra]

WBC should let Linares-Lomachenko fight and declare the winner must face Garcia. Why strip Linares for taking the Lomachenko fight when it could lead to a bigger fight with Garcia?
