Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Arum is NOT Going To Allow Lomachenko Fight!

[j.razor]

Loma has a history of just getting fights signed and done whereas Mikey has a history of talking about them then walking from them. There's obviously a problem between TR and Mikey but the noise from Loma, Klimas and TR is that they want the fight and let's make it happen whereas Mikey it's "Oh they won't want it" and even Robert confirmed Arum called about making it and was quoted as saying the fight should be in about 4 years on PPV and no time soon.

Stop kidding yourself. If l0m0 wants it he is going to have to fire bob just like the other fighters that have & got paid more when they left bobby boy.

You know lomo doesn't have a great defense right? His defense is when he steps with his right foot (southpaw) then pivots around you. He can be caught coming in like linares did when he put him on his seat.

No his defence isn’t great but it’s damn good considering how offensive he is. Again Mikey beats Linares 9times out of 10 but he doesn’t have Linares hand speed or foot speed. Mikey can only beat Loma by stopping him. If Loma is still standing after the 12th you better believe he is winning a unanimous decision against Mikey

I think it will happen, It's just when. Loma will fight Beltran/Pedraza next, Garcia may fight Spence.

I imagine Arum would be happy not working with Garcia, they have their history. But I think Loma has a strong character knows his career ambitions. I think he could get Arum to play along, he's one of Top Ranks main men now.

bob arum stopped the fight in 2009, you lied about T.B.E.

In the first 47 seconds he even tells YOU.

I was referring to arum who waited that fight out, not Floyd. Arum wanted to make as much money off of pac as he could before putting him in with someone lime Floyd who could beat him.

But there are a lot of people who know better who hype fighters too far and will mislead the less informed. This Lomachenko hype is a prime example of that. He's an amazing fighter, but he's not Mayweather good (probably not even prime-Oscar good), but let some tell it, he's on his way to being a top 10 P4P fighter ever. It's crazy lol

It's like people who think Floyd jr. could've beat SRL or Hearns in their prime. Those sort of ideas are not based on an informed view of boxing. You gotta be humble enough to admit what you don't know.

You still don’t get it by the sounds of it. To think I was feeling the rounds of dedication you were putting in but then you go and say De la Hoya had more skill than Loma and undid all that great foundation you laid before mentioning cross dresser. Now I totally agree with you on Mayweather without question .However, I imagine there are many people on here that disagree and just see Mayweather at best, a defensive genius . I challenge any individual to go to their local Boxing club get in the ring with someone close to their level and just throw leather and see how hard it is. I’m a sucka for a body punch. I can get hit to the face for days but one body shot and I give you the constipated look.

Any De la Hoya has made my top 50 of greatest boxers that ever lived which is a testament to his hard work. I currently rank him at number 48, ... 2 behind butter bean who I ranked at 46

I've been in there & seen plenty....T.B.E. beats them.

Al Haymon is the king of in house fights. Mikey fought Lipinets and Easter (both PBC) while Lomachenko fought Rigondeaux (Roc Nation) and Linares (Golden Boy). Mikey would rather get his ass kicked by Spence then fight Loma because his fragile ego can't handle that he is the B side thus proving Arum right. If this fight doesn't happen it will be the fault of Garcia and his daddy Haymon.

Lomo vs Garcia is a great fight

Arum needs to step to one side

They don't call him T.B.E. for no reason. I have been in there & seen plenty. T.B.E. beats them.

Arum has Garcia cornered into fighting Spence lol. Garcia should have entered that 140 tournament, I guess his people did not look ahead of the Easter fight. Garcia is B side vs Spence and has no belt, zero negotiating leverage in a fight that is not a big fight anyway. Spence can demand anything because he is lined up to fight the winner of Porter/Garcia if talks break down.

You don't get paid by belts, you get paid by how many people you can get to watch you. Remember that!

I'm not saying Loma wouldn't or couldn't win, I'm just saying that the risk of him losing vs Mikey is too high for arum. Mikey has too much bad history with top rank for arum to potentially give Mikey the opportunity to get his best win which in turn would be a real setback for arguably arums most popular current fighter.

Very accurate post.
