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

[Fangedgrowl]

Lopez would work Tank . Tank no mentally tough enough.

I would actually like to see Garcia Linares honestly. Garcia still wins but would be fun to watch.

Who has Tank beaten to make you think he has the experience to outlast Garcia? He has fought nobody worth mentioning.

Tank lacks experience, but he has skills, and I think Mikey is a better opponent for him than Loma! Just like you feel Tank doesn't have the experience for Mikey, I think Loma is going to destroy Pedraza! Tank already did that!

This among the more controversial articles I have seen on this site.

Wow.

Sounds like Robert Garcia is speaking against the family, a cardinal sin in my book.

Second, Arum is really going gangsta with some of these quotes, I would like to hear him say this **** to Mikey's face.

He told Robert Garcia to tell his brother to shut the **** up and nothing happened? Robert didn't flip????? WTF is up with that??? That's crazy, he is soft as sh/t. Arum is saying there is nothing getting in the way of a deal, while allowing a scathing article like this to be published, my gut is Arum doesn't want the fight.

I dont think matters at the end of the day, I think that train has left the station, much more glamor and money at 147 for Mikey.

Robert also said recently he doesn’t want to see Loma-Mikey until about 4-5 years. You never seem to make those points. Robert also confirmed he spoke to Arum so there’s probably some truth in their meeting.

What I will say is that if Mikey hasn’t fought either Spence or Loma within the next two fights it’s a bad look the way he went on about wanting Spence.

Do you have a link to Robert saying he doesn't want Loma until about 4-5 years? I never saw that, which is why I didn't comment on it! I agree with you on one thing, if Mikey doesn't fight Spence Jr. in the 1st quarter of 2019, I will lose respect for him, even if he does fight Loma! If he wants Loma, go get him, but don't use Errol's name as a PR stunt!

Lots of guys have skills against low tier comp though. When they get pressed is when they show if they have more than that.

Probably True Robi . I am still waiting on that debate with Razor.

Lmao Idk man... I don't think I can go toe to toe with razor.. He rated p4p

[Bronx2245]

Tank doesn’t want that smoke. The sad thing is is that I rate Tank but I don’t think he is dedicated to the game. On talent alone he will beat up on all the fighters he has been adroitly matched with. However the Lomachenkos and the Garcia’s of this world will eat him alive. I always really know a fighters true ability when I see them in a dog fight or face adversity and see how they respond in that squared circle. 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. Crawford he has crazy ability in abundance but he is yet to be truly tested( don’t say Gamboa ,he is a midget) which is why I would give the nod to beat him in an all out Dog fight.

As for Tank who should really be a 135 with the size of his face would lose to Mikey as he is seasoned and disciplined.

"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!

[Butch.McRae]

Hey Butch and I agree on something WOW!

I'm reasonable. I don't get attached to these guys lol

We just disagree on that "tough guy" remark lol

You see two tough guys and I see two hungry guys who've been looked over for years and decided to change their look and persona to raise their profile (it worked by the way lol). I respect that awareness.

He said 3-4 years. Here's the video. It's from six months ago.

There's also videos of Robert saying Lomachenko is his favorite fighter and his choice as pound for pound best. He's fairly honest. A lot more honest than even Mikey fanboys are. Mikey fanboys buy into every "call out" and never hold him responsible.

The Spence stuff was a joke from the get.

Are you calling Jose Pedraza lower-tier comp? He did beat Farmer by KO, beat Edner Cherry, beat Ray Beltran, and now facing Lomachenko. Tank took him out 7!
