Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Aims For Mikey Garcia - For All Titles - in 2019

[Larry the boss]

I would love to see that happen

[Banderivets]

I have to say though, I am slightly concerned about Loma.

He never seemed to have any motivational issues, but maybe the good life is just getting to him a little? Here is why...

Watched a Ukrainian interview with him recently and he basically said how it is difficult to get back into it after taking a long break like this. He has never been away from boxing for this long. He has been vacationing, hanging out with friends and family, driving his cars and etc...

Even his body language seemed a little off......and now he says "who knows what the future holds maybe I won't even box in the future."

This is all very new from him...

[Nay_Sayer]

lol Loma will continue ducking.....

^This

Lomafako and Top Stank don't want Mikey upsetting the gravy train. Maybe Lomafako will find another 22lb'er or 26lb'er to drag up and fight...

Apparently you didnt get the memo as to why he has been idle lately. He is coming back from an injury and surgery and the concerns with that. You could have spared yourself all the psycho analysis by knowing this.

Salido whooped him; Mikey destroys him. Good! Another KGB scumbag out of the boxing game.

Mikey would beat him up, rough him up, and stop him. The difference is size is one thing, but Mikey's boxing skill and ring intelligence make all that size even tougher to deal with.

The thing is, it's not just a ducking issue, it's a nationalist issue, and this is from someone who believes in borders and is against the unfettered illegal immigration happening. But I heard Larry Merchant say that the reason Mikey-Spence is happening, not Mikey-Loma, is that the boxing establishment likes the idea of two American stars in Mikey and Spence fighting each other and seeing what happens. Thus, they are throwing a lot more money at Mikey to fight Spence than they are to fight Loma, from the looks of it, even though Mikey-Loma is the bigger, better fight.

They want to create American stars. They want American exceptionalism. They dont want foreigners like GGG, Kovalev, or Loma being the face of boxing. Why do you think all three were robbed? They want Americans being the face of boxing, and then they want a Mexican as the second face because that makes the most money. But Americans have to be first for the sake of American exceptionalism, which they seem to value more than money otherwise Mikey-Loma would be the goal not Mikey-Spence. And incidentally, their apparent obsession with American exceptionalism is extremely confusing because the people who run every other aspect of the country seem to want to destroy America and **** on America. But when it comes to boxing, the pattern of their motivations is clear, and Larry Merchant even admitted it an interview.

The idiot who wrote this is def not an American, but somehow is providing insight into how the country works.

Borders? Immigration? and how much money and TV time has lomo enjoyed during immigration reform, just STFU you sound like a moron.

Both fights are big, and ESPN could certainly come through with a big offer, who knows what the future holds, but keep your political and social miscalculations to yourself.

lol Loma will continue ducking.....

Loma has fought PBC fighters the one ducking is Mickey. He has no excuse.

[EL_GRINGO]

Could be thats a "what if/maybe/who knows" but what we do know for sure is that lomachenko himself said he thinks Mikey garcia would beat him up same fashion that he (lomacheko) beat up rigo, so lomachenko is thinking he might take a one sided beat down... thats what we know.

Don't twist Loma's words, he said it would be a difficult fight because of the size difference, but he never said he thought he was going to lose,I don't want to start a debate on who's ducking you,
i will tell you this instead;
you being a fan of Mikey and myself being a fan of Loma,they owe it to us and all the other fans to make this happen now,
this is a fight to unify the belts,
Mikey can move up after the Loma fight,Spence ain't going nowhere

[EL_GRINGO]

Yeah I understand there’s politics in the way but Loma sounds like a guy who wants to make it happen whereas Mikey is very close minded and doesn’t even want to try and make it.

I’ll give him credit if he fights Spence but after all the talk if he takes any other fight next shame on him. He’d deserve to be boycotted because he will look like a fake.

I'm sorry, i don't care if he's going to fight Spence,
i am not gonna give the guy credit for knowingly getting beat up in there.
In fact i will be very disappointed,
that he would have chose that instead of trying the unify the division and have a legacy fight with Lomachenko.
It would be a major disservice to first and foremost his own fans, and general fans of the sport
