Mikey Stops Lomachenko inside of 10 rounds.

Against second rate competiton though. Which is cool, but what top tier boxer has he done this to?

Mikey doesn't look like much from the outside looking in. He does everything so fundamentally sound, that his style looks basic and boring. It's his opponent that has to worry about Mikey, not fans. When they're in there with him, it's a lot harder to let power punches go against him, than it seems.

Mikey is powerful, makes few mistakes, throws straight hard punches (never goes wild), keeps his chin tucked, never tries to show off.

If this fight happens, only then you can see how Mikey can beat Lomachenko.

With that said idc who wins, I would praise either guy who wins, I like them both.

Great description of Garcia. The guy is kinda vanilla, not particularly violent or flashy, not "Mexican enough" to get that crowd excited, not dramatic enough to have people following his twitter. But, the guy is soooo fundamentally sound. He dictates the fight, he measures everything, when he gets wild, it's a calculated risk based on openings he's already explored. People seem to think he's a bland variation on a Mexican style fighter. What he is, is representative of a new era of fighters (Loma included) who integrate the best aspects of many styles.

By taking a step back and countering. And/Or stepping back and being first. Sorta like Marquez did to Pac. Not saying its easy bcuz it definitely wont be but that's the recipe.

I can dig that. It will be interesting to see how Mikey does with the shifting and angles though. Feints will be key.

Lol shot down. You brought nothing to the table but showed exactly what got beat tonight. Try again.

I know, I wreck a lot of threads and they never handle it well so I don't expect you to do anything other than pretended you're laughing.

You're basing your argument on, "See, size and speed don't work!"

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

4 times world champion in 4 different weight classes beat 3 times if my math is right, RIGHT? HEHEHEHEHEHE

Just tell Loma to sign on that dotted line, and we can actually see the fight.

it not hate. i like garcia. garcia vs loma seems like an easy loma win for me. garcia hasn't fought anyone like linares, anyone like rigo, anyone like walters, anyone like russell. maybe its a coincidence but hte slickest guy he fought was adrien broner who just stands there with his gloves up.

I like both guys too. I just think head to head, based on quality of opposition and attributes for each fighter, I lean towards a Loma win.

Dudes act like you have to hate a guy because you dont pick him to win.

So you have nothing to add like everyone else. Thanks.

yes mikey is technically sound but i think thats to his disadvantage against loma. mikey doenst have the best reflexes and once loma works out the distance and where the punches are coming from i think he would be able to sit there in front of him and light mikey up. linares was throwing a lot of out there punches which didnt hit the target but what htey did is they caught lomas attention and made him think. i dont think garcia does that kind of stuff and would be made to paid against the more athletic fighter

Who here said Mikey sucks? Nobody. People are talking about what can potentially happen based on their skill and prior experience. Both guys are highly skilled. One has faced better competition. Not sure why you are trying to make it something else.
