There is nothing special about Mikey Garcia. Loma's gonna school him.

^^^^^ Exactly. easy work for Loma.

Good amateur nothing special as a pro, so far he's been fighting quitters and salido beat him of course. Couldn't believe how bad Linares is as a fighter, needs an hour to set up a punch and he obviously wasn't told that defense was ok in boxing, and at the end he could of continued but he decided not to. I got nothing against loma but in boxing everyone half decent is made into a super star and fan boys start jumping the bandwagon like girls who're in love with their favorite pop star. Btw the division he's fighting in is not worth talking about, these skinny dudes should gain some weight and fight in higher weight classes like real men, nothing manly about a 50kg skinny legged dude.

You don´t like boxing..? I suggest you go back to your own thing (probably "wrestling").

Good amateur nothing special as a pro,

He has arguably the best amateur record of all time and as a pro he has broken a world record for being a 3 time, 3 weight world champion by only his 12th professional fight!! And in those 12 fights he has fought 6 current/former world champions, and yet you say "nothing special as a pro"??!!

so far he's been fighting quitters.

Tell me how the likes of Rigondeaux and Walters are "quitters" when they had never lost before, never mind quit in a previous fight. They both quit through frustration because they had never in their life come up against a fighter who they couldnt hit and who could hit them at will

and salido beat him of course.

You mean Salido who missed weight and came in heavy, and then repeatedly hit low and general just tried to rough house instead of actually box and still in my opinion and many others didn't even win the fight. Even so, it was Lomachenko's second ever professional fight and he fought a multiple time world champion. There is no way you can watch that fight and say Lomechenko was clearly beaten that night

Couldn't believe how bad Linares is as a fighter, needs an hour to set up a punch and he obviously wasn't told that defense was ok in boxing,

Not sure what fight you were watching to say Linares looked bad. He looked great and has done now for many years. Unbeaten for over 6 years before Saturday and is a 4 time, 3 weight world champion. He gave Lomachenko the best fight of his pro career, is the naturally bigger man and weighed 16lbs more than Lomachenko on the night but it still wasnt enough because he came up against something special.

Linares performance on Saturday would have been enough to beat most fighters around the 135lb division. It is very easy to discredit his effort just because he didnt win, as you have proven as that is exactly what you did.

That my friend is why your post was pathetic.

Have a good day.

Until Loma beats Mikey Garcia, anything Loma does is normal to me.

Defeating Mikey will prove to every one that Loma is the real deal.

Because Mikey beat who exactly?

Saying that we've never seen anything like a guy that has barely had a pro career is quite an overreach IMO, but I'm a fan of Lomachenko and have no problem acknowledging that the man is a very special fighter. As a fan I can appreciate his late start to the sport, because he's come in obviously knowing that time is working against him, and seeing him trying to take as many guys out as fast as possible is a hell of a refreshing thing to see in this sport.

Nobody has ever been a 3 weight world champion after only 12 fights. So it is therefore a fact and not opinion that we have never seen anything like Lomachenko before.

It could all come crashing down in flames, but up to now at this point in his career he is unmatched for accomplishments after so little fights

Title is reaching. And exactly why its hard to compare fighters at face value. Everyone has a different career path from the start to the end. Bernard and Marquez lost early and didnt really achieve greatness til their later years. Some started off hot and flamed out just as quickly, (e.g. Fernando Vargas). Some had a path set up for success like Oscar. Manny was unknown and came out of nowhere. Floyd had the tools and wins but was marketed wrong. Loma is very good right now, best fighter today. But lets not act like he is 20 years old and doing this at a young age. Any fighter who stays amateur as long as he did I would expect to be pretty seasoned in his first pro fight. So yea, he has three titles at 3 classes in 12 fights. But hes not green. So its time to stop acting like he is Ryan Garcia new and doing overly amazing things.

Great amateur career but as a pro he's a very good show opener. That version of Loma gets knocked out by Tank Davis and Mikey Garcia.
