He never said he wont fight him, before this fight he knows Loma isn't fighting him when he returns from injury he said himself he fights Spence now and Loma around May next year.
All this talk about Lomachenko, but that isn't even possible for a while. Lomachenko is out until end of the year and he isn't taking on Garcia after his operation. He is set to face the winner of Beltran/Pedraza later in the year, so the Garcia fight isn't happening at the earliest until April of 19. So technically he can still fight Spence and Lomachenko. But you don't really want to go up and down weight classes like that.
I don't understand this career move at all unless he is Promised CRAZY Life Changing Money for this fight.
Mikey is more Technical than Spence Jr no doubt but Spence Jr is a MASSIVE and is nasty to the body. Suicide Mission for Mikey but I do think he is skilled enough to make it to the Cards
Mikey need to use his a side card and put in the contract that the weight-in is the sameday of the fight
This way Spence can't come in heavy
Spence is the IBF champ so he has to weigh in within 10 pounds of 147 every single fight (until unifications). So what the hell is Mikey going to put in the contract, Spence can't be over 150 pounds? LOL, there is nothing he can do there. And why is Mikey the A-side? These guys are pretty much even in name value. Look at the ratings of Garcia vs Lipinets and compare them to Spence's last two fights. This fight isn't going to do crazy numbers either, probably peaks around 700k.
No way Mikey beats Spence. This match up is all wrong. This would be those type of fights that ends careers. And Mikey career may be ruined against Spence.
Ya well Robert himself said he doesn't want Mikey to go up to fight Spence but Mikey is a grown man so if he thinks he has a chance who's gonna stop him from making that choice?
