I'm still on the fence over Mikey. Early on I wasn't impressed because I felt he was a weight-bully and was draining/killing himself to get down to 126 & 130 so he could blow up on day of fight. This has always been Robert Garcia's M.O. when he trains his fighters. He looked for an out vs. Salido crying about a broken nose, even though he was dominating him. He should have seen that fight to the end.
When he took on Broner I felt that was a step in the right direction. But, now he's shopping around at different weight classes looking for the easiest path to a title and blatantly avoiding Loma and Crawford. At 38-0 Broner is his biggest win, not a good look for someone who claims he wants to fight the best between 135-147.
