What are Mikey Garcias advantages against Loma?

[Boxfan83]

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

Honestly the left to the body will be key on the shift. If you notice, Loma (like any south paw favors moving to the right) so a half step back and a quick 3-4 to the body in the 1st 4rds will be key. Mikey will lose the opening rds though and have to show he can take Lomas deceiving punches. After that the 3 low and the 2 high will be significant.

50/50 Fight! I think Mikey Size and Power is his advantage and while Loma yes is Slick and a excellent boxer he is still human he can be hit and hurt

Mikey is very discipline with excellent timing so yes I think Mikey can catch up just like Linares caught him. Both Excellent fighters instead of playing this internet guessing game I would rather see the fight get made and lets find out. I personally think 135 is pushing his limit in fact it might be past his Limit and you kinda seen at bit vs Linares

I agree. I think he will take those punches well because I dont see Loma as all that powerful. Hes an accumulation guy. But Garcia will lose those early points. His left hook will be vital in the long run.

are you serious? you got worms in your brain or something

linares landed 39% of his power punches on lomachenko (that everything but a jab). So yeah lomachenko isnt that hard to hit.

Mickey's jab and able to keep distance and counter punch will be key. Loma will land a flurry and Mickey will catch him with a 1 2 as Loma walks into it won't see it coming. Too big too strong for Loma plus experience and fundamentals. Will also play into this fight for Garcia

[Just looking]

It's more a question of experience. Lomachenko got too passive after the knockdown and took him 2-3 rounds to get back to his normal self. Even so, he wasn't as dominant as before. If he gets hit by Garcia, who have more power than Linares, there's a chance he gets too respectful of his power and it wouldn't look good for him.
And there's somewhat of a flaw in his game right now, as he is too willing to get closer than needed to throw his combos. It was a problem for him in this fight and will just get worse against bigger guys

Timimg. Timing always defelects speed.

Also superior punching power, defensive skills that will offset loma's gameplan, counter punching. Again timing.

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.

well when you dismiss all the fighter attributes by going down a rabbit hole you are basically insinuate that he sucks. "well what was this elite fighter he did it too" psssh I dont play that game cause theirs no end in sight. Both are great fighters I just think Mikey Garcia wins cause the reason I stated, Ill break it down more thoroughly for you though (feel free to counter this with Lomachenko traits and how it nullifies mikey)

Mikey is a master at distance and keeping range (which nullify
angles, one of lomachenko greatest weapons.)

Mikey is a master at timing (which nullifies speed, one of lomachenko core weapons).

Mikey is a master counterpuncher (which nullifies A fighter tenacity, one of lomachenko trademark trait in the ring)

Mikey is the bigger puncher (which nullifies Volume, one of lomachenko weapons in the ring)

Mikey is a master at controlling pace (which nullifies volum and intensity, one of lomachenkos trait inside that ring)

Mikey is the proven fighter with bigger punchers (which nullifies lomachenko likihood to hurt Mikey)

Mikey is more experience as a pro (Which gives mikey the advantages of knowing what he can and cant do and when and where he can do it, when to turn up in a round and when not to etc etc)
