    I still don't get it. He could have had another win and then a showdown with Lomachenko.

    Instead he's fighting a prime light middleweight who is really good. Perhaps spence hasn't really fought guy like Mikey, I still don't see a way Mikey wins.

    Was he seeing what loma was doing and wanted to prove he can do the same?

    It’s probably suicide for Mikey but it is refreshing to see a fighter with balls actually challenging himself.

      Before this happened, he said he was offered crazy money for a certain fight (that being this fight). Dude is cashing out. As a fan I'm really disappointed.

        People keep talking about a Loma fight but Mikey went through alot to get away from Top Rank. To fight Loma, he has to go through Arum again which comes with options on him.

        Regarding this matchup, Loma beats Mikey.

          He is making a career high payday with a built in excuse for the loss. An amount so large they wont even reveal the purse split. Expect Robert to white flag at the first sign of trouble so they can hurry home and celebrate the payday. Its no different than Khan cashing out vs Canelo.

            Similar to Marquez challenging Floyd Mayweather, or De La Hoya challenging Bernard Hopkins. It's all about that Mexican pride.

              Mikey raising the bar! All these fighters talk about being great but actually do nothing to make that statement a reality. Mikey walking the walk in sport where most dont! With one fight Mikey exposed the entire WW division to be cowards, now you hear fighters talk about they want to fight Spence lfmao where was the bravery and ambitions when the fights could have been made for years already.

                Well, Kelly Brooke went after GGG.
                Khan went after Canelo.
                Gotta give Mikey props.
                If he wins 5 rounds and goes the distance , he should top P4P.
                If he wins, he's the fighter of the year unless he loses.
                If he wins and fights Pac, that would be worth $50M each.

                  The hate those to have for each other is what stopped that fight.Arum feeels like he lost a ton of money because of Mikey and Mikey feels he lost both time and money.Arum said Mikey and team is impossible to deal with.He will make the fight but he will make Mikey eat **** first.There is no way Mikey will put up with it.

                    mickey hoecia just wants to get his ass kicked so if he ever fights and then loses to loma, he can say he was broken from the spence fight

                    this fight is nothing but a money grab. the bums he's been fighting don't give him money like this. his best win and only other big money was against boner
