Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Lightweight Division Probably Where I Should Fight

[Dr Rumack]

How tall is Mikey? Boxrec says 5'6" but he looks taller than that.

OK Mikey, love you man but you have to stop doing this. Focus bro. You/ve got a nice menu to choose from up to 135-40

A friend of mine, James Dominguez and Robert Garcia are tight. He's watched Mikey train in Oxnard up close and personal. He and Kelly Pavlik hung with Spence after they did their show PUNCHLINE which is available on youtube live and Sirius Satellite Radio. He said that boy is big. He said Spence is one bad dude. A nice guy but a big strong killer. I think Mikey is making the right choice. LIGHTWEIGHT Bro.

Get that 4th weighclass belt and then move back down. Neyter fights at 135 anyways. 140 is garbage.

Up and down doesn't work that well. Just ask RJJ.

[Mister Wolf]

This guy will cherry pick 135-140.

Lipnets is a champ, but whose not a champ these days?
If he were to beat Garcia it wouldn't be the biggest upset of all time but it would probably make the top 5.

Mikey is such a flake. Calls out everyone, then waits for the news to make its rounds. Then after some time, reels it all back in.

Yeah that's what I thought as soon as a I saw the headline. Make people believe he really wants Spence, Thurman etc; whilst cherry picking a title only to not defend it as usual.

Last week he was firm that he was certainly coming to 147 this year or next year at the latest now he's moving down?

[Satir]

Lipinets will make him forget about 140, Garcia stays at lightweights, quite limited division unless Loma moves up, all talents and little beasts are at super lighteweight

[Mike_R]

I'd prefer Mikey to campaign at 135- there are definitely fights to be made down there. Maybe end up at 140 again later down the line. No more 147 talk, it's just not a realistic or good idea. I can't take it seriously and my first thought was that it was just a way to move on from a potential Loma fight.

Garcia vs. Lomachenko is a must-see fight to me. It would be amazing.

[HandsofIron]

Yes, stay at 135, dominate and cap it off with a super fight with Loma.

[Tha Kid]

Please stay at 140 cherry picker so Regis Prograis can beat the **** out of you. That is if you even take the fight.
