Mikey Garcia is messing up boxing...

[Pigeons]

No one cares about this fight. It will do Gennady Golovkin/Andre Ward numbers, ~100K.

Loma had his chance to accept a fight with Mikey.

Props to Mikey, he is truly looking to challenge himself and fight the best opponents he can find.

Though, he may have bitten off more than he can chew vs Spence.

Mikey is fighting Spence because he is afraid to fight Loma?????? That's just ridiculous. Spence is far more dangerous than Loma and Mikey knows it. Mikey is a fearless fighter who never ran from any fight. There are other cherry picking champions and top contenders you could be insulting instead of Mikey who doesn't deserve it.

It is not about danger. It is about losing an 0. If I was Al Haymon, I would rather one of my guys lose to another one of my guys. If Mikey loses, well he lost to a giant, all is well. If he loses to Loma, it is a real loss and to a competing company. Remember Loma stole the shine from a hot PBC commodity before.

Yup lomachenko completely took all the hype away form gary russell when he schooled him. isn't mikey a free agent? I think he's on a fight by fight deal with pbc. I think gaymon would want for mikey to lose to a pbc fighter in spence than lose to a Top rank fighter in loma. pbc is going to sacrifice mikey to spence!

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.

There is a difference between daring to be great, and just being ******.

Mikey is just being ****** by taking this fight. I love him as a fighter, one of my favorites, but its just a dumb fight for him to take.

Name me one guy that jumping 2 weight classes has worked out well for in recent times, especially jumping up against a beast like Spence.

The short answer is nobody... in todays age of day before weighins, Mikey is going to walk into the ring with a huge weight disadvantage, huge size disadvantage, huge power disadvantage, huge reach disadvantage, and not that much of a skill advantage.

Also, win lose or draw, its bad for the sport. It prevents any meaningful showdowns at 147, if he pulls an upset, and then robs us of a Lomachenko fight.

If he wins, there is no way Arum puts Crawford in with him.

If he loses especially by KO, there is little to no chance we see him in with Lomachenko or Crawford anytime soon.

All the fights I want to see him in wont get made. I don't like that.

Mikey got this.

Mikey has said that there was not a solid chance of a Loma fight, at least for now since he is fighting a Tank Davis leftover. Loma wanted a fight like this after his surgery before a big fight with someone like Mikey.

MG moving up to fight Spence may be a much better fight than most think. Duran did the same thing and beat SRL in 1980. Other examples too. I favor Spence in the fight, but it is far from an easy fight for him. He could/should possibly stop him late, but who knows.

Duran was a career lightweight, not someone who has already moved up in weight several times, and looks to be at the highest weight he can be effective at.

[just the facts]

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

Is Spence following the ggg career path?

Is Spence following the ggg career path?

His best win is gggs leftovers

This fight is bull ****. I don't understand how anybody can get excited for this ****
