Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: When I Beat Spence - People Will Say I'm 'No Joke!'

[4truth]

If Mikey did beat Spence people would be saying a lot more than that

[Dr.Cool]

So now all of the talk has gone from him facing Loma to him facing Spence? I guess losing to Spence will be seen as gutsy and losing to Loma will be seen as embarrassing.

Loma already said he won't fight Mikey this year.

“After a period of not fighting, it would be ****** of me to step right in there against Mikey. Of course, I’d like to fight someone like Beltran,” Lomachenko said. “Beltran would be easier than Mikey.

On top of that Arum has said

If [Garcia] wants to fight, let him call me and I'll give him a number. If he doesn't like the number - f*** it - I ain't negotiating!

Yea, I get it though. Saying Mikey doesn't want to fight Loma, instead of the truth, fits your agenda. Loma has already said he won't fight Mikey this year, Arum is on record saying he won't even negotiate with Mikey, when you leave all that out and act like Mikey doesn't want the fight, it makes it sound like Loma wants the fight, but Mikey doesn't.

Loma is saying he wants Beltran next. Mikey is saying he wants Spence next. Mikey already won a title at 140, making him a 4 division champ. Loma has already said he will never fight above 135.

While Loma wants someone easy like Beltran, Mikey wants the best in Spence.

But go on, and make up excuses for Loma if it makes you feel better.

At least Mikey has the testicle fortitude to call out Spence and wanting that fight. I don't see the rest of the fighters at welterweight mentioning Spences name. Only Mikey amd you haters shyt on him for thay. GTFOH and give credit where credit is due after the fight gets made.

[BLACK KNOT]

I don't doubt that Mikey wants to fight Spence and will fight Spence. But unless Spence slips and tears his acl or something like that, I can't see Mikey beating Spence. It will be a good fight to watch. Both Spence and Mikey stay in the pocket and exchange. Mikey might even be better at it. However, Spence is a freaking killer. Lipinets landed a fair amount of clean shots on Mikey; if Spence can land clean shots like that, game's over.

Still, I love that he wants to fight the best!!! All fans should appreciate that. However, once Spence beats him, the haters will be out in full force calling Mikey an over-rated bum. I'd give Mikey a fair chance against Thurman, DSG, and Porter, but he is too little to take power shots from Spence. Every shot Spence throws hurts.

last I checked spence is human he can be beat and will be beaten. who knows maybe mikey will ask for stricter drug testing and spence won't be that same killer come fight night.

There is nothing courageous about being a big mouthed liar.

It would be a super achievement to beat Spence but I wish he save that talk until after Saturday night.

Real talk he's kind of putting a horse in front of the carriage a little bit, but Mikey's my boy Im a fan & I'll be there Saturday night yelling for him to whip Easter Jr ass.
I believe Mikey will Win by knockout or by decisive decision but all that talk about Spence should come while he's being interviewed after the W

I'll be honest with you bro, I don't have any agenda nor does anything a pro fighter does make me feel better or worse. You obviously had more info than me so I will defer to you in this matter. That said, who would you prefer to see Garcia fight, Spence or Loma (assuming Loma is healthy and ready to go)?

Loma camp is avoiding Mikey.
Mikey has overly expressed interest in fighting Loma, but his cries have fell on deaf ears

Garcia coming across very contradictory with his recent comments

How so?? After Loma beat Linares:

Garcia hopes to fight Lomachenko sooner than later.
“Lomachenko did good, beat a solid world champion at 135. I would love a fight with him. Hope we can make it happen in the near future,” Garcia stated to the Los Angeles Times.

Then Loma said wants someone easy after his injury.

“After a period of not fighting, it would be ****** of me to step right in there against Mikey. Of course, I’d like to fight someone like Beltran,” Lomachenko said. “Beltran would be easier than Mikey.

Ever since Loma has said he won't fight Mikey this year, Mikey has instead been saying he wants to fight Spence later this year. Because Loma already said no. Mikey has never said he doesn't want to fight Loma, in fact he has said he wants to numerous times. What is he supposed to do until Loma is ready??? Mikey can fight anyone else at 135 and haters say he is fighting bums. Same at 140, except for Prograis, but Prograis is in the WBSS. So Mikey is wanting the best of the best.

Yea, Mikey will lose to Spence, but he has been consistent that he wants the best.

Mikey is talking about another fight way too much for my liking though I do still favor him against Easter it WILL NOT be an easy fight.
If Mikey were to beat Spence at 147 it would be like Duran moving up to beat Leonard, he'd be the best fighter on the face of the earth.
