    Comments Thread For: Garcia Would 'Love' Lomachenko; Not Sure About 135 Return

    ARLINGTON, Texas Mikey Garcia isn't 100-percent certain he'll move down at all, much less all the way back to 135 pounds. If he were to return to lightweight, Garcia still would want to test his skills against Vasiliy Lomachenko. A move down to at least 140 pounds probably would benefit Garcia, who was soundly defeated by a bigger, stronger and better Errol Spence Jr. in their 12-round welterweight title fight Saturday night at AT&T Stadium.

    Mikey has zero bounce in his step at 47. He was an easy target a lot not just plodding forward trying to catch punches on his gloves

    I thought he would get knocked out but I also thought with all that snac training we were gonna see a more explosive Garcia lighter on his feet darting in and out of harms way with quickness. We got the opposite

      Mikey embarrassed himself against Spence and he will get embarrassed by Lomo. There in no head movement in Mikey's game and he will get tagged all night.

          I believe Mikey would have had a lot of confidence going into that fight before Spence and it would have helped him in that fight. Now I think he's probably damaged regardless of the face he puts on after the fight. He is not proud of his performance. His team needs to choose his next steps very carefully.

            Mikey, have Schaefer make an offer to Floyd to have Tank Davis come to 140! That's must see TV! Maybe even at AT&T?

                  There’s no doubt that Mikey’s weight climb affected his speed, his footwork, his whole arsenal. That version of Spence would’ve beaten everyone at 147 except maybe Crawford. Spence completely took the fight out of him and Mikey had no contingency for being an “elite” fighter. If he thought Spence troubled him, Loma will be trickier. Forget coming down to 135-140, he needs to come down from his high horse and start respecting his opponents. That was a hard dose of humility he was force fed.
