Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Tank Davis Is Real Deal & Deserves Credit, But Lopez Is The Man At 135

140 would be best case but there’s no money there. Best option for Mikey would be to wait Spence and Crawford out and fight either Ortiz or ennis or the 140 boys (Taylor, Prograis, Ramirez) when they move up.

Wait them out so he could fight the winner???
Did you mean to write that? How is Mikey EVER going to beat Spence even if they fought 10 times?

Well no sh^t.

Tank impressed with his LSC W, but Teo beat The Man at 135. Teo to me had a very Fury over Wlad type fight where he was more dominating than I think even many Teo fans expected him to be. Loma, like Wlad, forgot how to do what he does for most of the fight. Thats crazy ass high level impressive sh^t although less entertaining then a war or explosive KO.

Same thing. Loma chose to lose.

I don't like the Teo fight for Tank.

Teo can fight a souhtpaw as we saw vs Loma.

Tank defense is pretty average, he takes a lot of punches when he's not facing a shorty blown up batamweight.

He took a lot of punches vs Pedraza and Cruz, the 2 good decent sized fighters he fought (Santi was taller at least), dude ends up in wars, wich is pretty cool to watch.

But against a guy like Teo, does not look good, dude iced Commey and had Lomo frozen for 7 rounds for a reason, that sht ain't looking good, and he's a much better technician than Cruz or Pedraza.

And he's not either wining a pot shot contest with Teo and his jab.

Eff, it's also just that Teo is that good.

Call me crazy but I think he's the best talent in boxing.

I think he's even more talented than Bud or the Gipsy King.

Teo can do it all, he can throw big a77 bombs, he can jab, he can control the pace, he can brawl, he can dodge, he can roll the left shoulder and come back with a right bomb (straight of upper).

I think Loma did the best he could, Loma is short armed and is power is average at 135, what you gonna do against a longer younger stronger fighter who can also box and be fast?

I had Loma winning 5 rounds and winning the second half of the fight wich is pretty brave when you think about it.

He was in the same position as Wlad vs Fury or Mickey vs Spence, bud he managed to adjust and win the second half of the fight.

Loma won my respect in that fight.

Mickey and Wlad lost a bit in their respective ones.

This is exactly the way I see it too. Unless Tank improves a lot I would favour Lopez against him.

Mikey is around the same age so I don’t know about waiting them out, unless you mean wait until they move up. In that case I could see Spence going to 154 fairly soon. I think Crawford will be able to make 147 for as long as he wants because he started at 135

He fought Spence already and no one wants to see a rematch. I think he’d get the same treatment from Crawford, these guys are naturally bigger than him. Porter too he shouldn’t fight porter. He should let them do their little dance at the top of the division and fight those other contenders.

Not to fight the winner wait them out like let them have their time at the top of the division while he either fights up and comers (Ennis, Taylor, Ortiz), pac, Danny, people more his size. I’d never watch another Spence Mikey fight. Or Crawford for that matter

[Zaroku]

He can’t make weight, but he’s too small to compete with WW.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Lopez is the man at 135. He is future welterweight. Tank is only small man who fights even smaller men and pretends he is KO maschine.
