you basing everything off what posters on this site say? well i wasn't here in 2013 so can't say. and my point is there's nothing wrong with "brothas" siding with Rigo because tribalism runs boxing.Comment

I would have gave Khan a better chance of beating Canelo than Garcia beating Spence. Only because of Khan's foot speed but the world knew once Canelo tap, not hit, tap his chin, he was going down.
Far as Garcia, I don't know where he can hide once he's in the ring with Spence.Comment

Absolutely. Garcia is a real fighter. He will be fine, and he won't be punished for not beating Spence. I just feel that it is too far uphill to push that wagon. In my unimportant opinion, the man just deserves better.Loma won't bring more money than Spence Jr. @ AT&T Stadium! Not to mention Mikey having to deal with Arum and ESPN!
September 19, 2018:
“The only conversation I had was with Robert,” Arum said. “I said, ‘Tell your brother to shut the ***** up. Lomachenko is fighting Pedraza in December. And if he wins, I promise you I’ll sit down with Mikey right after that fight and try to make a fight with Loma.’ That’s the best I can do. I’m not gonna sit [down with him] now and make the fight, when [Lomachenko] has a fight coming up...
Arum considers Lomachenko-Garcia a pay-per-view fight.
“Not the greatest, not the biggest pay-per-view fight,” Arum said, “but it would certainly do enough business. … So that’s a good fight to look forward to next year. We really wanna do that fight, [all] bull***** aside...”
“He’s saying that he wants the fight,” Arum said. “Now, when we sit down with him, as long as he’s willing to take a guarantee, with a percentage, OK. But if he starts asking crazy numbers, then who could afford to do it?”
LAS VEGAS – Bob Arum had another conversation recently with Robert Garcia regarding his younger brother boxing Vasiliy Lomachenko. The Hall-of-Fame promoter expressed to Mikey Garcia’s older brother/trainer that he wants to begin negotiations for that fascinating fight right after Lomachenko defeats Jose Pedraza in their lightweight title unification fight. Ukraine’s Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs), the WBA 135-pound champion, and Puerto Rico’s Pedraza (25-1, 12 KOs), the WBO champion, are scheduled to square off December 8 in The Theater at Madison Square Garden (ESPN).
The handwriting was on the wall! Arum was going to make these negotiations very hard! Now Mikey comes to the table with PPV numbers! We'll see if Arum changes his tune! If not, Mikey still has Pacquiao, DSG, Prograis, or Baranchyk, all good fights! His future is bright regardless of what happens in Texas!Comment

How is that racist you dumb F∞çk? I mentioned What Spence, Tank Davis, Broner, and the Charlos said before the fight between Mikey and Easter, and I quote "Mickey is a good boxer but I got to go with my brother Easter"
And than you have most of the Britons here defending Billy Juice Saunders even though he gave up the belt without a fight? is that racist too? you dumb FÜçk!Comment

Garcia a dead man walking....He don't seem like the type to fight to survive so ai don't see how he will keep Spence off in those late rounds!Comment

Mikey is getting what he asked for, and what he's been longing for! Mikey was supposed to be on track for Pacquiao a long time ago, but we know how that train got derailed! I don't think he'll last 9, but I'm very proud of Mikey for challenging himself! I think Mikey either fights Pacquiao next, or goes back to 140! There's a lot of talent out there (especially in the WBSS Tournament) besides Loma, and a lot of money to be made too!Comment
