Garcia-Linares

[Robbie Barrett]

How would this fight have gone if Linares had chosen the more dangerous (Linares's words) Garcia instead of Lomachenko?

I doubt Linares would have caused Garcia much problems. Garcia likely stops him within 6.

I don’t know, let’s have Mikey come to 135, fight Linares, and the winner fights Loma...

Why not skip straight to Garcia-Loma? Linares said himself Garcia was the best at 135.

Linares wants a Loma rematch, he could fight Garcia for it...

And wasn’t Linares-Garcia your original topic?

I wouldn’t mind seeing Loma-Garcia right away at all.

Garcia would flatten Linares within 3. Linares knew he had a decent shot to beat Loma and he was right.

we will never know and thats the whole strategy isnt it? just tell me the good technical boxers with blazing hand speed mikey has fought and we can make an accurate prediction oh wait none? well then no idea. i dont really understand fanboys. they love certain fighters with certain styles but if these same fighters never fight any of the styles they like they are amazing how? theyconstantly bash slow come forward fighters yet garcias resume is full of them and he's amazing. thats a contradiction.

They played an interview of Linares on ESPN before the fight where Linares basically says he chose Lomachenko because it was an easier fight.

It would be very similar to this fight, very competitive but linares would come up short in the end.

Linares is world class and not an easy fight for anyone. Mikey starts timing him in the later rounds and stops him

I just think Linares knew he could give a good showing against Loma and bounce back if he lost. He knew there wasn't no bouncing back after he got stretched by Garcia.

FFS. Loma scores a great KO win and here comes the Ukrainian hater to **** on that win. Loma KOed Linares not Mikey. All this would have should have stuff about how much easier Mickey would have beaten Linares than Loma did is just your wishful thinking and not fact. Mickey is very good but Loma is rated above Mickey on almost all PFP best lists.
