Attributes werent dismissed. And you took it as an insinuation that he sucks. Your detailed response is more of what Im looking for, not some garbage ass troll responses.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)
None of what you said is false and is an accurate assesment. However, all of Mikeys work is mostly against guys who are coming straight forward and of lesser quality. I think when presented with an equal talent like Loma, Mikey will suffer some and questions will be raised. Can he fight at a high pace if need be? How does he adjust when its not his pace? Does he have the stamina to fight at a high pace for 12?
Either way, its a great matchup that is even better than Spence Crawford.Comment

Loma is playing with dynamite in this fight, and if you think Loma will be doing all the same things and as free with his hands like he has with all the other fighters he has fought, you are sorely mistaken.
That along with Mikey's jab, distance control, and timing and you have a more than normal hesitant Loma. What does this equal to? A pace which Mikey likes to fight at.
Measuring up attributes to judge this fight is a silly way to look at it. We saw a combination of size and ability in Linares cause Loma a lot of problems, Mikey is a level up from that, and at 135 and below he is a true knockout artist, with extremely good mechanics and fundamentals.
Loma is a great defensive fighter in the pocket, but he stays in the pocket and that means he gets hit, and we saw yesterday he can be hurt too, and just to emphasis, he is significantly the smaller man.
I won't make my final prediction just yet, but this fight is Loma's Everest. I do see him as competitive but also see him falling short with shots and struggling to make an impression. But I'll tell you what; it will be a lot of fun watching him attempt it. Not that I'm holding my breath, I don't see Arum letting it happen.Comment
