Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: I Can Stop Lomachenko, He's Not Invincible

[BillyBoxing]

I can almost picture a Tszyu - Judah scenario.

Loma buzzing around, landing lots of hits - then the more technical boxer times a hit just perfectly on him...

It's possible, but I'm backing my boy Loma for the win! War Loma!

Indeed, except that Loma and people will expect it.

Judah underestimated Tszyu.

I mean, Loma ain't Dejan Zlacatin.

I think speed kills.

Linares could turn Loma himself cuz he has quick legs and could match his speed.

Mickey only win by stoppage IMO, Im' sure Loma outpoints him. Mickey is just too slow and flat footed, agreed, Mikey's boxing is perfect.

Mikey would have to stop him because his workrate is just too low to win a point scoring dance. Maybe Loma would force him to throw his hands some more but that's just not Mikey's game.
Still feel Linares could have imposed himself more when you could clearly see the success he was having when he took it to Loma. Maybe he didn't believe enough, I don't know.

Conditioning, Loma's big on it.

Mikey could win on points, but he would need at least two knock downs to do it. KO is a more likely way for him to win for sure.

Dang.. if loma takes this fight.. he definitely earns my respect win lose or draw.. Mikey is dangerous.. an he has superb timing.. which is what kills speed.

Not always, speed kills when there is too much of a gap.

Hopkins was a master at timing but that's Roy, Calzaghe and taylor's speed who beat him.

I can’t argue with the logic but what I will say it is harder to time someone that is constantly moving and throwing punches from unusual angles you speak of timing, sergey Lipinets imed his right hand perfectly on Mikey’s chops. A fighters timing s not as sharp as he tires and one thing you can always guarantee in Mikey is that he gases in fights were the pace is never frantic.

If there is a knockout in the fight yes I agree it will most likely be Mikey but if Loma is standing at the end of the 12th round high he will he wins 8-4 9-3

No doubt Loma will land, the question is can he take the counters when they come. I'm thinking a Pacquiao vs Marquez type match up. As far as pace, I don't think Loma fights at a frenetic pace. I do however feel that he forces fighters to expend a lot of energy to defend. I see the treat of being countered with a power shot slowing Loma down mentally, and thus slowing the pace we've seen him fight against previous, smaller opponents.

Agreed
What people fail to understand is Linares is faster and longer than Mickey, and those 2 points clearly were what worried Loma last week end.
Linares can do a lot of stuff Mikey can't, especially with his legs.

Mickey will worry Loma with his strength, punches selection, patience and boxing IQ.

Mickey isn't athletic like Loma or Linares.

So you will see a different fight.

Loma for the first time as a pro had his speed matched and it was a problem.

I see Mickey vs Loma as B HOP vs Calslappy.

What are you? An internet pimp? You have a casino, but have time to be on here selling pu$$y?

Sorry my casino ,meaning I am a member of the casino. I would had said his casino but I’ve lost enough money in there to call it my casino. I should have been more specific ✌🏿

What do Lipinets have anything to do with this? He was a bigger man with more power than Loma and who was awkward but still got dropped, rocked and schooled by the smaller guy!

Mikey's stamina can't be questioned, he threw over 700 punches against Broner and about nearly 600 against Lipinets!

He won't be tired it will be Loma cuz he must expend so much energy and stamina to move around so much, shifting and throwing all those punches!

When Mikey works that body, Lomachenko will realize late in the fight that all of that movement an throwing combos will comeback to bite him!

Make the fight!

If an untalented bum like Linares could knock him down you'll murder him, bumachenko is over rated and his resume is filled with quitters.

Untalented bum? Linares is one hell of a fighter, most elite fighters wouldn't take that fight. In fact Mikey didn't
