Comments Thread For: Jessie Vargas: I Underestimated Mikey Garcia's Power

[hansS]

Vargas has a good chin, I was surprised Garcia could rock him.

Good fight I'm still not sure how Mikey fairs against the remaining title holders though.

Still prefer him at 140 but this is where the big money fights are so I don't blame him.

Mikey is deceptive. He's not big, he's not ripped. His body looks smooth more like a swimmer's body than a fighter's body, but when he hits you, he hurts you bad. I witnessed this from ringside when he fought salido in 2013 at the garden. He's a strong guy

Like I said before; Mikey can fight when he wants too. He simply laid down against Spence. He just refused to try. I know that Vargas is not the puncher that Spence is but damned; You have to take some risks. He just tapped out against Erroll, Spence; Perhaps it was to due to his not wanting to be knocked by him.

I partially agree. The problem with Mikey is not that he can't throw a good right hand with some pop and speed. The problem with Mikey is that he isn't aggresive enough. Vargas should have been out by the sixth.

Mikey has no killer instinct to create openings, he settles for what is given to him. That strategy will not play well with the elite, more polished, and hard to hit fighters. Mikey does not have the footwork for that style of fighting. He needs to be more aggressive to compensate for his lack of footwork and inability to dodge punches. His best defense is offense.

He is trying to play Mayweather's game with an inferior toolkit.

Mikey is sneaky that way...

i still dont get why mikey just didnt try at all... it's not like spence is known to be a heavy one punch ko guy.. in the fight against vargas, mikey also started slow but once he got tagged by vargas it woke him up and he started walking to vargas pressuring him.

im not saying spence and vargas is on the same level but like you said, mikey can fight when he chooses too. i just dont know why he didnt try with spence.

Garcia gets so smoked by Pacquiao it's crazy. He pieces him up.

Sounds like an excuse !
