Comments Thread For: Arum: Lomachenko Wants Mikey Garcia Fight Right After Pedraza

[Butch.McRae]

fair enough , i hope i am wrong actually becuase i hope both reach their full potential means alot of great fights at 154 and 160 soon.

I agree. I just think people forget how long those guys have been around lol

Nobody cared until they changed their hair and started ranting lol

It's like some Bain *****, "Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask."

The point is, beating one guy, doesnt make you an experienced fighter at the highest level. As it is, Tank doesnt even have five best wins. He has Jose Freaking Pedraza.

Rigo is an elite level fighter! He moved up 2 weight classes at 37! Not a good look! Don't be disrespectful!

"He has to be willing to take a guarantee and a percentage." Lmao

Arum already trying to block the fight from getting made.
The fight isn't going to get made unless it's split 50-50.

I have been telling you mother****ers this for a few months now

Butch Could you imagine the rivalries with Canelo in Texas if he beat Jermall, He could then fight Jermell, Spence, Hurd and Munguia. Wow you talk about big fights. Ofcourse they wouldnt bring him the money GGG does, but man he would get some real cred from me.

Idk, they have AT&T Stadium and I'm pretty sure Canelo would clear 1M ppv buys against all of those guys.

I actually think if he became a "Texas" fighter he'd make much more money.

I could see each one of those fights clearing in 60k attendance. He did 50k there with Liam Smith lol

I'm not so sure! I love Mikey but I haven't seen him in the ring with some with the speed and power of Tank in a while! Broner wouldn't let his hands go, but Tank will! Tank is also southpaw! I would like Mikey vs. Tank much more than Mikey vs. Commey!

Definitely ✌🏿

[ceylon mooney]

If Tank can stay focused, we have a hell of a lightweight division with many great match ups at the top. And we can see how Commey, Teofimo Lopez, Jose Zepeda, Easter, Mendy, Campbell, even Linares still, and others shake out in the division as well. Tank vs Teofimo would be a war.

true that. im high on lopez.

He means it will be 50-50, just no guaranteed giant sum. It would be PPV

"Loma had it with Salido which is a horrible blemish to be fair but his second pro fight and the way he fought back was admirable. Spence with Kell Brook. I don’t care what anyone says the early rounds Brook was handling Spence."

1) Loma was 26 years old when he fought Salido. His 2nd pro fight is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned! It's not like he started boxing at 18/19 like Deontay Wilder! Tank is 23! Maybe it's time for his "Salido" moment! Maybe Mikey makes him wake up and take the game more seriously?

2) No doubt Brook was doing very well, but that body work by Spence broke him! I'm tired of people talking about his "other" eye socket! Brook knew what Spence was going to do, and he had been avoiding Spence (like everyone else) for at least a year!

Amateur and pro is totally different without stating the obvious. If you have a fighter that has been boxing even as an amateur for 20 years and stick him in a pro fight he is a novice, regardless. Experience beats age if we are talking in terms of your second pro fight. If you are good you are good, the age factor means nothing just ask iron Mike.

I’m still not overly sold on Mikey but he has good fundamentals and that pulls him through Against Tank.

I agree with your assessment on Brook. I had big money on Spence that night and my face was like Jaz the rapper every time I saw Spence get clobbered with a chocolate brownie
