Mikey Garcia is messing up boxing...

[g27region]

I would say that Spence should get a bigger credit for fighting Garcia than Loma for fighting Garcia after Spence

[JWHardin]

spence would have fought a bum anyway. it was either a blown up lightweight or another bum.

And why is that? He has been trying to get a fight with Thurman, Danny Garcia, and Porter, but all three have been ducking him. The Crawford fight will be there probably next year. Crawford and Arum are chirping about it now because they are out of quality opponents. Before they said it will happen eventually. Crawford was ****** to re-sign with Arum.

why hasnt he ever sent crawford an offer?

We all wanted to see Mikey-Loma. We wanted to see Loma challenged and Mikey further cement his legacy in the weight class.

We wanted to see Spence take on another PBC Welter in preparation for an impending Crawford fight.

But now both of these pictures are screwed up because Mikey ran from a guy he didn't believe he could beat, toward a guy that no one else believes he can beat.

Is there even as much money in a Spence-Garcia fight as there is in a Loma-Garcia fight????

Why!!!!!???

And what will be next for Mikey if he gets floored by a big body shot early? Does he stay at 147 or does he make his way back down to 40 or 35.
Does he fight Loma with a loss in his psyche?

Just Why?!!!!!

Am I alone in believing that this Spence-Garcia fight is a horrible fight for us fight fans?

No I agree with you completely here. If the fight has to happen at Mikey should fight a contender at 147 first. At least that way Spence would get credit when he wins

[Robbie Barrett]

It is almost the same difference. Duran was 5'7", and SRL 5'10". The picture is misleading.

Garcia is 5'6" and Spence is 5'9 1/2"

Spence is a big WW. Garcia looked small against Broner, Spence is going to dwarf him and look every bit two weight classes bigger. But that just makes it all the greater if Garcia pulls it off. This is a no win fight for Spence, he'll get 0 credit for a win.

This is exactly why I don’t want the fight to happen

You are just a hater. Mikey ran from Loma? Really?


“After a period of not fighting, it would be ****** of me to step right in there against Mikey. Of course, I’d like to fight someone like Beltran,” Lomachenko said. “Beltran would be easier than Mikey.

On top of that Arum has said

If [Garcia] wants to fight, let him call me and I'll give him a number. If he doesn't like the number - f*** it - I ain't negotiating!

Two out of his last three fights were against two of the top 140 lbers. and dominated in both those fights. He is a 4 division champ. And now the best at 140 is going all the way up 147. Wow, that is too big of a leap.

Mikey probably comes back to 135 after Spence, win or lose. And it was Loma who said he wouldn't fight Mikey next. So, instead of fighting some mandatory no one knows or just sitting around waiting for Loma, Mikey is daring to be great.

[Idunnoshet]

Stop trying to rewrite history. Loma wanted no part of Garcia so Garcia moved on a took a bigger challenge. Garcia should be credited for attempting to be great.

Agree 100% . Instead of giving Mikey props he's getting *****ted on for attempting to challenge himself?
Just wish More fighters had what Mikey is Made of .

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Loma never wanted any, never expressed he wanted any till Mikey was on the war path against Errol Spence then he acted like he wanted that smoke. Lets just be real, loma dont want none of Mikey. Arum will not do buisness with mikey, One interview they asked Arum will he make the fight he said yeah but ill pay mikey whatever I want he takes its or dont I DONT CARE, basically saying he gonna rip him off money wise which is a cop out to not even make the fight.

Height isn't the only factor, frame counts just as much. Mikey maxes out at 140 - and even there he looks a little soft. Spence is a big welter, wouldn't look out of place at 154
