Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Wouldn't 'Wait On Sideline' For Lomachenko Fight

[BillyBoxing]

Certainly a smart move by Mikey, because Arum wouldn't let Loma near him right now. Mikey is bigger, highly skilled and in his prime. The chances of Loma losing this fight are way too high for Bob to let it happen.

Now if Mikey takes a beating against Spence and looks declining the fight after, then the possibility of this fight happening will increase exponentially.

I'm not so sure about Bob protecting Loma.

Loma has one of the best record in boxing in less than 15 fights, yet, he's protected???

Did Mikey got an offer turned down by Bob?

Why doesn’t loma fight Crawford? Mikey is going up 2 divisions to fight Spence who is a 154 pounder at 147. Yet the lomasexuals hate on him like no tomorrow, while ignoring the stench that their guy is being coddled and set up sgainst nobodies. The first opponent he fought in Salido he lost to and vs linares he was dropped and down on all cards.

Loma has no problem fighting fighters who are smaller than him in rigo

Or fighters who have been knocked out in Pedraza or dudes who came back from back to back wars in rocky.

Why can’t he enter a fight he is suppose to lose and attempt to show his greatness instead he fights bums and midgets

Cuz Loma is much smaller then mikey thats ***in’ why.. stop hating on the P4P best. We will be lucky if he gets its into 140 at the end of his career. Loma is just too small

"he didn't chose me for his last fight?"
You didn't chose him either.

Mikey never seemed eager to fight Loma, he always sounds cold, unenthusiastic about this fight.
Maybe because he never had faith in this fight happening....

That could be a fight to be made but I don't see Arum putting his top guys in against each other like that. Also Loma wouldn't fight Pac at 140 so I know he won't fight Crawford at 147.

With that said I would like to see that matchup happen. Rigo moved up two weight classes to fight him and Mikey Garcia moved up to fight Spence. Hekk even Broner went from 135 to 147 when he fought Paulie so it's nothing new. Plus Crawford vs Lomachenko would be a certified ppv event!

Mikey is a skilled big man, compared to Loma, its a good chance Mikey ko's Loma, and beats TR's star boxer, Arum included. Arum will not risk loma to his former employee. So Arum will offer a ****** contract which Mikey will have no choice but to say NO. wHILE Loma grows in size and the fight keeps building

That is the same meeting where Mikey told Loma to move up if he wanted to face him. Loma had just fought Sosa and was mentioning Mikey. Mikey told him if he is serious to move up, Loma ended up fighting 2 fighters that he brought up in weight for his next 2 fights instead of moving up and fighting at 135.

This is the same pattern as what happened to Brook. “Getting the fights I want at my current weight is difficult, so clearly the solution is to charge headlong into a beating at the hands of the biggest puncher at the weight class that’s two divisions above mine!”

Actually Brook chose not to take those fights. He could have easily fought the likes of Bradley, alexander, Vargas, Chavez and Rios. He chose not to.

In that picture from the article, Mikey told Loma to move up if he really wanted to fight him. That was when Loma had just beaten Sosa and was mentioning Mikey's name. Arum didn't let Loma move up and had him fight 2 smaller guys for his next 2 fights instead of making a Loma/Beltran fight so Loma can test the waters at 135. When exactly was Mikey supposed to fight him? Loma moves up and fights Linares and Arum is quick to say Loma will be fighting the winner of Pedraxa/Beltran, no mention of Mikey. Besides Arum has been on record that Mikey needs to accept whatever offer he gives him and fight on ESPN or no fight. Its the same thing with Crawford and PBC WWs, they need to agree to Arums demands.

Mikey did what he think is best for his career. Which is not sit around and wait for anyone, he chased the biggest possible fight against the best there is two weight classes above. Let me know when loma does anything similar... I'll wait

[Shadoww702]

The agenda with you is alive and strong. How about this since ya'll like mentioning Salido...who quit vs Salido? Oh that's right. No disrespect to Mikey but it's fact. Also Lomachenko fighting smaller dudes...c'mon. Rigo talked his way into that fight and got his @ss handed to him for it, Loma has refused to take credit for the fight or even talk about it much. Mikey is a great fighter but you don't have to shhh all over another fighter to make him sparkle, that's some b*t*h s**t. Folks like to act like there can only be one great figher in the sport or some ish..both men are great fighters.

It aint a fkn fact. If you QUIT you lose. He shattered his nose on a HEADBUTT if it was a legit punch that did it the fight goes or he quits and loses. TWO doctors looked at it and 1 even tried to reset it but couldnt. Probably dont even know wtf im talking about. Know your sht next time.

*** I bet you said the same thing when Ortiz tried that sht on Floyd and the Commish SUSPENDS his ass.

And before rig. He brought Marriaga up in weight for the 1st time even AFTER just losing...And now he's probably gonna fight Berchelt next
