Hard to argue with that. I’m a fan, but he could very well end up achieving/getting more through his fame and brand than with his performances. If he wins the manny sweepstakes, whoever wins will not be considered the best in the division anyway. If Mikey looks bad in that fight, it’s a sour taste for everyone, much like the Spence fight.
I had it Vargas clearly winning this fight 115-112. Mikey was not doing anything in most of the rounds, relying on one strong punch. You don't win rounds like that. Terrible decision!
Good fight but not a great performance by Garcia, it went just how I thought it would, Vargas very tough and the much bigger man in there and Garcia struggling a bit with his size. I definitely think Mikey needs to drop down a weight class, he would be much more effective there. He figured Vargas out, dropped him and won fairly comfortable in the end, apart from getting clipped in the final seconds, he just didn't look great, but good fight from both guys.
