Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia on Spence: I Am a Man of Challenges, I Want This

[JakeTheBoxer]

Mikey is doing the same mistake Brook did, when he fought GGG. Hopeless fight for glory and money. When Errol finishes him ( very likely), he will be damaged good. Lomachenko will have easy work with him than.

I like Mikey and I will buy his PPV if he ever has one. But I hear a lot of talk and no contract. Is this a real call out with a contract or is this just bluff??

I think before the Wilder/Fury fight was announced the fight with M. Garcia Vs. Spence was 100% gonna go thru with the date the HW's now took over.
( + I'm sure Showtime is interested in the numbers it will do, before they invest in another Event)

Beginning of 2019 or at the actual Wilder/Fury fight this will be announced.

People that bash Mikey from fighting Spence are the same people that give flack to fighters for not challenging themselves

Loma is a huge challenge, and a great fight to make. And same weight

Mad props for Garcia, hopefully he comes out of it with no serious injuries. He’s a great fighter, it would be a shame for his career trajectory to be cut short just because he dared to be great. Spence bulldozes through his opponents who are there to be found, hope Mikey has something up his sleeve to make this competitive.

Fight Loma or go away. Not very many ppl interested in spence gight although media ppl trying to act like we are. Any boxing fan i talked to in real life laughs at this fight.

Lomachenko said he wanted an easier fight than Mikey, due to coming off surgery.

Mikey can't wait on him.

Promoters know that the die-hards will watch the fight regardless, even if it could end up being a mismatch. What they're banking on is the mainstream public buying into the strive for greatness moment which could help with PPV buys.

then why don't you challenge yourself against loma after he fights pedraza and become one of the few fighters to become undisputed?

So he should sit out and wait for Loma to fight him next year after Pedraza. Arum already had Loma's next opponent since Beltran won the WBO title. Loma wan't going to fight anyone else but the WBO title holder between Beltran and Pedraza.

Mikey knows Loma can beat him, and if he got beat by Loma it would be very bad because Loma is smaller, but Mikey knows if he gets beat by Spence it means absolutely nothing.

Would be good when Loma is ready to step up to Mikey. Loma only talks about fighting Mikey but does nothing about it. Mikey rolled up on him at the ESPN studios and told him to move up and acclimate to the weight, Loma ends up fighting two smaller guys that he brought up in weight instead. After the Linares fight, talks about Mikey, but Arum already had his next opponent lined up since Beltran won the WBO title. Arum should scratch the Pedraza fight and let Loma go after Mikey in December.
