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

[j.razor]

It's over mikey the loma fight isn't happening. Lomachenko schools you ten times worse than spence did!!!

Coming from you we know that aint true.

Mikey doesn’t deserve this fight. He was very dismissive of Loma before this fight, and Loma was pretty respectful.

bob arum was dismissive on trying to make the fight.

I don't think the one loss is the issue for Mikey. It's the way he lost. He took a lot of heavy shots to the body and head throughout the fight. I'm sure that kind of prolonged took some years off his career.

That's why it was so baffling why they didn't just stop the fight. Did his corner expect him to score a late KO to end the fight?

No one should expect him to now go and do all that it takes
to drain his body down to 135 for fight that he will need to be in optimal shape to win. I don't blame him for not wanting to put his body through all that especially since he just had such a hard fight.

Mikey told his brother emphatically not to stop it. Said he was ok and wasn’t (hurt) which is obviously a relative term.

The hate is already bad from these Mikey haters, can u imagine if Mikey let his brother stop it ?

Cause I’m already hearing dumb sh.t like:

“He only did it for the money”
“He’s an embarrassment”
“He’s always been a bum”
“He was exposed by Spence”

Had his corner stopped it, the hate would be unmitigated.

Bob arum like Oscar de la Hoya have guaranteed money. They’re looking out for the company. They’ll make these fights happen.

How convenient that Loma's ceiling just happens to be 135

I knew the usual jackasses would blame Loma for this fight not happening if Mikey didn't move back down.

It was really bad. He just bit off more than he could chew. I still see him as an very good fighter who still beats anyone at 140 or 135.

Loma was popping off loudly that he wanted the Mikey fight (after Garcia had already committed to Spence of course ).

Let’s see if we hear a peep out of this guy now ?

Probably will be to busy begging Tank to move up, while simultaneously snubbing Lopez in avoidance, lol

I had Mikey beating the crap out of Loma before Spence. Now it's even worse, a complete mismatch. Mikey is a wall, Loma's little punches will bounce off his skin and the dancing won't work, either.

I see Mikey timing him and putting him to sleep.

Precisely ! Loma wouldn’t hurt Mikey with anything he has, and if u can’t get Mikey’s respect it’s curtains for u.

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.

The best version of Mikey puts the best version of Lomachencko to sleep. Lomachencko reminds me of the Rams offense. There’s a lot of fluff, window dressing, and moving parts. But once you get past all that, they only run a few plays. Lomachencko is the same way. He does a lot of flashy stuff with his movements and footwork. And all that covers up the fact that he makes a lot of technical errors and puts himself into bad positions. Not to mention he’s old and there’s an expiration date on that frenetic, high energy style he fights with.

[doom_specialist]

Yeah so what he lost and had a TERRIBLE night. He was trying to do too much. Gain weight, bulk up not even a few tuneups....


This negative sht is why NO one wants to lose that 0!!!

"You're only as good as your last fight" got pushed to the extreme around 2008 for sure.

Lol, good post !
Lomachenko is a very good fighter, and I’ve always given him the props he’s deserved. But ive never saw him winning a Mikey fight.

My main issue with him has been that he’s languished too long in a weight divisions with little to no real talent in it.

Then when Mikey is available at 135 he avoids his career defining fight. His career path is mimicking ggg’s lazy path of avoidance.

If he keeps up this lousy game of possum, someone’s gonna move up and embarrass his comfortable azz, just like Canelo did ggg.
