Why are people acting like Mikey Garcia didn't blatantly duck Lomachenko?

he fought errol spence??


holy guacamole you guys are ridiculous. i hope you're joking. no one is this dumb.

... New England stating the truth, as usual...

... we all know that Mikey parted ways with Arum... therefore...

Should we add holding a grudge to the list of excuses.

[yankees7448]

Who cares? Well, you said he basically did it for money when I'm telling you he could have made around the same money against a much easier opponent on DAZN. So that kills that myth.

Mikey ended up getting dominated, but he obviously thought he could pull it off by out smarting Spence. It didn't happen. Oh well, but no need to make up weak reasons for why he took the fight.

Says the man going out of his way to make up weak excuses for Mikey killing any possibility for a fight with lomachenko

When ever your life is on the line especially against a bigger, stronger & better fighter its ALWAYS a risk.

Everytime you get in the ring it's a risk

Duck Loma but fight Errol Spence.....flawd logic!

[yankees7448]

He can't. They should meet in the middle at 140. More for Mikey to lose (7 pounds to lose) & l0m0 from 135 (5 pounds can gain) comes in over 140 in fights.

Loma already looks like a midget at 135

More money. No real impact on his rep if he loses but becomes a legend of he wins.would lead to an even bigger fight against Pac man if he wins. Not complicated

No, saying he just did it for money is a weak excuse when I just told you he could have made pretty much the same money for a MUCH easier fight...That wasn't just according to him, but also Hearn.

So why can't it just be he thought he was up for the task and thought he would be able to out box Spence? This man talked about fighting Spence for over a year and really thought he was going to be able to beat him and become a five weight champion and a legend. Ended up not working out for him but it happens.

... no excuses here...

This is all on Arum, he was coming up with all kinds of excuses not to make the fight during interviews.

On the flip side, look how eager Arum is to make Crawford-Spence despite promotional differences. Arum was confident in Crawford but not Loma.
