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

[robbyheartbaby]

Mikey should have picked someone easier at 147, shame on Spence for taking the fight too but Mikey could have kept his record and taken a belt home. I guess that was his whole point I guess taking a challenge etc.

I just finished giving Tank vs. GRJ @ 130 the push! Is it too soon for that?

i guess we will have to wait and see what mayweather promotions does next,Heard Santa Cruz saying he wants Tank too,I'll give tank credit though if he fights GRJ and wins

I think Mikey kicks his ass, no excuses if he doesn’t. I’ve been saying that.

that's fair enough

Spence cuts about 30lbs from walking around weight. Mikey would have trouble cutting 10-15lbs to get to 135? If he doesn't fight Loma, we all will know why.

Some fans here are hilarious. They leave out the part where lomachenko was a lightweight (132lbs) in the amateurs. For how long he is been in the pros? Five years going on six? They are the same size.

For starters NO ONE said linares would put l0m0 to sleep.

No, they said Linares would walk through Loma, would be too big, too strong, etc. Instead, he damn near quit. And Mikey would do the same.

2nd l0m0 doesn't throw a strong jab..Mikey won't respect his power...he is faster than Mikey.

Edited to show all that matters. Mikey doesn't like the jab even if it doesn't have power because he isn't going to do jack about it thrown in his face, as we saw with Spence. Spence was throwing with power and Mikey was still tentative. Loma will at least put snap on it.

Much respect to García and yeah he looked foolish but @ least he got in the ring.

Porter almost lost to Ugas for 1.2 million and Thurman was almost stopped by Josesito López for 500K.

Mikey made 3 million and took punishment as most expected but so did Thurman and Porter.

you are right. A least he dare to be great. Ugas should have been the victor.

like ginger does?

If Mikey isn't killing himself to make the weight than why not make the fight? We've been served up plenty of poo poo platter matchups lately. Can we get one that we actually want?

I don't understand the science of weight cutting but from what I've heard it's not easy. Mikey won't be able to come down 12 pounds that easily because that's muscle mass he packed on and he'd have to get his body accustomed to the change again. I think he should slowly go back down if anything. Maybe take a comeback fight at 140 against a light touch and then 138 and so on. I think he should face at least one soft touch if not two before facing a top name again. Mikey was just not Mikey at 147. The added weight really didn't alter his abilities.
