He can get his career back on track. It's most likely at 140 lbs from now on though.

The man wants a 147 strap, and I think he will eventually get it

Mikey ducked Loma and Crawford

Says who Crawford ain't want that fight plus Mikey was not going to sit around and wait for Loma to come around that is why he took on the toughest fight of his career in Spence which is facts who else said that they would fight Spence at that moment I'll wait

There isn't a boxer around today who's checking their own temperature as much Mikey does. And thats how more mfers should be.

We should all be prideful to be good human beings if that's what we are, or at least ones who try to do the right thing. All this racial pride, there's no reason not to be happy with how you look or where you come from no matter what, but I don't like people bring up racial pride and then use it to justify another individual's decisions. What does Mikey's race or skin color have to do with whether or not fans should appreciate his career, or the decisions he himself made in that career?

It took a lot for my people to still be here today. I'm very proud of that, I don't believe it makes me above anybody else and have no issues with anyone being proud of their race or ethnicity.

how many buys do it do? they never officially released the numbers and spence's stock and reputation went down because he was unable to knock the much smaller man out.

I heard 300,000 I bought it myself good fight to me but what I can say is that it showed Spence's boxing skills and it also showed what mikey's Ring IQ looked like as well

Mikey ducked Loma and Crawford

And what I also believed is that mikey was looking for a payday too being that he was a free agent but still fighting under the PBC banner

I don't know if Mikey should continue to fight anymore. It just seems like his heart is no longer into it. Perhaps, it would be best, if he considers taking a long rest away from the sport, in order to decide whether or not he still wants to do this.

WTF are you talking about??? What has he done or said to make you think his heart isn't into boxing anymore???

If Loma beats Campbell in two weeks and Mikey waits until then, he can probably get a huge offer from TR starting with a Lomachenko PPV in the fall or January 2020, then another guaranteed fight. He could probably walk into a 40-50 million dollar deal for just two fights.

Question is, can he still make 135? And do fans still even want to see it after Mikey looked poor vs Spence, and Loma has been looking muscle bound and slower (maybe older?) at 135?

I'd still have some interest if they could make it really soon, before either gets older. Ideally Mikey has a good performance at 135 first, but there's not really any time to waste given Loma's apparent aging/slowdown at 135 the last few fights.

Did you see Loma's last fight? It was a demolition, not sure how you can find any slow down in that. Previous two were an injury in round two then first fight back from surgery which looked a little early.

Bit premature to be calling Loma over the hill at this point, although in hindsight you might be proved correct, who knows.

I swear everyone just got carried away & over-inflated how good Mikey is during his 2-3 year absence. Feel like hes one of the more overrated guys in the sport, but he built up a lot of fan/media goodwill during those courtroom battles & split from Top Rank. Good textbook B+ fighter, but I never understood what people saw when they had him way up in their P4P rankings. Doesn't have the foot speed & athleticism to beat the cream of the crop guys IMO. Certainly not a guy worth getting in a bidding war over.

I've also thought Mikey should join Golden Boy. Mikey is from California and Golden Boy's headquarters is in California.
