What exactly does Lomachenko need to do to prove his haters wrong?

[Robbie Barrett]

Garcia was at 140 when that fight was made. He is yet to fight back at 135. At the time the fight was being made, Linares was the number one guy at 135.

Garcia has had a 135 title the entire time. Stop talking bollocks.

Yeah? So why didn't Mikey fight Linares for a unification? You want to say dumb ****, I can as well. Garcia ducked Linares.

If Loma beat Mikey, just wait for the "Mikey was shot and already dropped by Martinez, so his weak chin was already exposed" comments spreading...

Exactly thats what I'm saying. Haters gonna hate.

Loma could KO Joshua in 3 & he's gonna get hate. Haters are irrational & are barely boxing fans as I see it.

Linares told everyone in an interview that aired just before the fight that Garcia was an harder fight which is why he chose Lomachenko.

WBC orders Linares-Garcia

The WBC has officially ordered its lightweight ‘diamond’ champion Jorge Linares (43-3, 27 KOs) to take on its world titleholder Mikey Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs), in a bout that would have both titles on the line, as reported by Sky Sports.

Both camps are reportedly already in contact with one another but it remains to be seen if Garcia, after moving up to junior welterweight to face Adrien Broner in July, intends to move back down to compete at lightweight going forward. He did, after all, just recently call out Miguel Cotto for a fight at 154lbs.

Mikey Garcia turns down unification bout with Jorge Linares

WBC Lightweight Champion Mikey Garcia has once again declined to fight WBA champ Jorge Linares, stating that he received a better offer elsewhere. Golden Boy claims that they offered Garcia a 50-50 split without the long-term contract that sank negotiations the first time around, but it still wasn’t enough to sway him.

Garcia did not say who he’s fighting instead, but it’s likely to be Robert Easter Jr. Golden Boy president Eric Gomez says that Eddie Hearn has made a “huge offer” to pit Linares against Luke Campbell in an excellent rematch and that Linares intends to fight in January on HBO.

It’s a shame to see two phenomenally talented fighters in their primes not fight one another, but at least the alternatives are pretty darn good matchups. So it goes in this ridiculous sport we love.

All Lomachenko needs to do is keep fighting these dangerous fights! He’s already way ahead of Golovkin who has never taken a risk!!!

[Sugar Adam Ali]

If he beats Mikey, they would say fight Crawford, if he beat Crawford, oh he ducks punchers, fights a puncher, the guy was a face first bum, etc, etc...

It’s like every #1 fighter has to go thru this - Floyd, manny, Roy, oscar, etc
