Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: I'd Love To Fight Lomachenko in The Near Future

[Noelanthony]

A great larger fighter beats a great smaller fighter. Looks like a good size difference there. Loma is a lot faster but has T rex arms. T rex arms didnt bother him against Rigo who was shook and afraid. Garcia dont waste punches and takes his time, very surgical. I think he catches Loma with counters that he never gets caught with before.

I agree 100% with the first part of your post only Mikey is not great.What is great about Mikey? He does everything good And that’s it

I’m not an amateur boxer but I love sparring( fighters a lot smaller than me obviously) Trust me when you know the fundamentals fighting big punchers means absolutely nothing. A fighter with Incredible angles and a very high workrate and great defence beats a powerful puncher, good timing and suspect timing. The thing is most of the people that talk **** against Mikey might have an agenda . I just think he can not live with Loma and if I’m wrong I will come on here apologise for doubting you and then I become a believer of Mikey with you. That’s how it works with me. He has to beat someone I respect.

Loma beat Russell but I still wasn’t convinced, then Axe man and I still doubted the win but he beat Rigondeaux and it’s not that he beat him its what he said afterwards that Rigo is not his weight and It was unfair which earned my respect then we add linares to the resume and here I am talking to you😜 ( with confidence)

I think Loma will fight Pacquiao before he fights Mikey.

After Loma fights Pacman on PPV a PPV fight with Mikey will be much easier to make.

So my guess is Loma fights Beltran in August, then Pacman in December. Although I've been wrong a lot lately

I think you are right. I think Loma -Beltran, Loma -Pacquaio, then Loma-Garcia. I think Garcia fights Easter, then fights Linares who did enough to get another shot. Then they fight in Spring of 2019.

Agreed was meant to face Linares in a unification fight and most the likely the lineal title would have been up for grabs as well but decided against it to go for another belt in a different division... I'm not knocking him for that but I'd rather see title holder unify and become true champions.

He didn't "decide against it" he learned how not to get robbed any more from promoters & made a good choice. You should take notes.

Mikey isn't a great fighter? Outside of Loma, is there any fighter you'd pick over Mikey below 140?

If the only fighter you think could beat him is another great one, then it's safe to say that guy is pretty damn good.

Btw, you forgot to mention Salido. You know, the guy who beat Loma already. Mikey worked him.

Lastly, timing is the cure for all that movement. A guy with the boxing pedigree of Mikey will surely be right there with Loma.

Idk who would win, but don't say Garcia isn't a great fighter. He was P4P top 10 when Loma went pro.

P4P top 10? ..... that old chestnut.Your argument started off with so much promise

[JuniorTorres720]

Garcia vs Lomachenko in a unification fight at 135 would be insane! Mikey beats Easter and Loma beats Beltran. We have a super fight in our hands, guys.

[SAINTSTEVE]

I would like to see Lomachenko make a run for fighter of the decade and a bout vs Mikey definitely fits in with that trajectory.

[j.razor]

come back here when mikey has at least one name from p4p list on his resume. so far he's just cherrypicking easiest opponents available.

dunno who's praising derevyanchenko. he's not very well known even in ukraine

Read it again buddy cuz I didn't say anything about P4P, cherry picking or derevyanchenko,

Don't blame Mickey cuz he been wanted this fight & even went to lomo when lomo was doing a interview. bob has already put a block on this fight saying it would be like making Mayweather/pacquiao & we ALL know bob was one of the main reasons that fight didn't get made in 2009.

I know you're a Joshua guy so I'm not sure how closely you've been following the sport lol but Mikey was top 10 p4p on all publications before he was forced to sit out two years.

The guy is elite. That's not debatable.

I don’t know why everyone keeps talking Loma vs pac other than arum promoting the 2 of them. Pac still has to get by matthyse, but even if he does shame on arum for throwing the man who made him the most money to his new cash cow. Loma vs tank, Garcia are far more intriguing fights.

I don't know why you keep talking about Arum while Pac himself wants this fight the most.
