Is it crazy to think Loma beats Mikey easier than Linaries?

[Dean_Razorback]

garcia will try to box with loma and get badly schooled and posibly stop, he isn't a pressure fighter like salido who is constantly over you nor have the hand speed linares have, he only has a puncher's chance

[Derranged]

I seriously doubt it.

I think Mikey can catch Loma. I can see Loma lighting up Mikey most the fight but Mikey has timing and power at 135.

It's not crazy at all. I think Garcia's style will be easier for Lomachenko than Linares. Mikey is a textbook straight up 1-2 kind of fighter. I like Lomachenko by decision. Mikey is a very technically sound fighter and he has a decent punch, but I think his style is all wrong for Lomachenko. He just doesn't have the speed and finesse.

This. Loma will be cautious early throwing his "pitty pats".
He will use his tremendous footwork and movement to dart in and out of the danger zone.

He learned from that KD and he wont be reckless.

Stamina will be critical.

he wasn't being overly reckless when he got dropped...he was a bit out of position and tried to reach across with his left to block the shot and came up short. he spends a bit to much time near the end of his opponents punches which could be dangerous vs garcia. i think mikey is a bit slower than linares, but his positioning is on point. he knows how to find the range with his right hand as good as anyone in the sport.

I said something similar in another thread and someone else had a nice response.





I still feel Loma would though, but still a nice response

I respect that response..........but..........
The things that poster is forgetting is that loma will be consious of mikey power and unless he is seriously stunned and prolly more than once...loma is gonna operate as normal......walters was a big puncher @130 did loma creep a round him? was he scared to throw shots etc??? Again Mikey will have to earn his respect.....and mikey will have a hard time landing against loma....as he is slower than linares......again mikey has a chance but loma ain't gonna just sit back and run(and be extra consious) because of mikey having power......

Foolish talk... Mikey is the way tougher fight.

One thing Mikey has that people aren't talking about is great timing. He knows when and what to throw. His size will also play a factor since he seems bigger than Linares imo.
