Comments Thread For: Garcia: Lomachenko, Linares Couldn't Take Out Campbell, I Climbed Off Canvas To Knock Him Out

[Patsfan bri]

Loma is a 126 pounder so Garcia who is a natural LW should have more power. Not really a fair assessment on his part. I wonder why Campbell didn’t go for broke after the knockdown? I know was trying to fight back but he was definitely a little stunned and I think Campbell made a mistake but not going for it.

I had picked Luke (punching power and experience) for the win but ryan does have the punching power too.....I just dont see tank stepping into the ring with Ryan...At 22 years old Ryan Garcia is a rising star and if tank has any chance against Ryan it is now or never because Garcia is just getting better with time.

.. how can you compare ryan García, a 22 year old kid on his first title shot against a 32 year old Campion boxer in Linares with like 9-10 title fights ?
Why don’t give him the credit instead of hatin for K.O Campbell, something that Linares in his prime couldn’t do..

Thanks and I agree with you. It may benefit him to have another fight before he takes on the monsters (then again I didn't think Teo was ready either so what do I know).

Maybe a fight against Fortuna or Linares? Both can be made relatively easily I imagine. Linares punch resistance seems depleted but he can box. Fortuna might give him some rounds and things to work on. Barring that, you could bring Nakatani back over to the US. If he stops the Japanese fighter (and I imagine he would), it would provide favorable comparison to Lopez.

Yeah, all viable options, although fortuna is due his mandatory against Haney so probably will.look to get that rather than fight Garcia. Linares probably the best option. But why fight an elimination to become mandatory if you don't want that guy (Haney) next?

Garcia

Yes you did get off the canvas and hung around long enough to see Campbell quit. Call it a knockout if that pleases you. This was without a doubt a fighter that quit.

To be honest, I wasn't really looking at the implications or reality of the fights just guys that he could fight without major promotional hurdles and would be relatively relevant.

This is ******. Fight the best. Its not like Tank or Haney steamrolled much better competition. They should fight. Why should Garcia avoid them?

Yes, I got that, and wasn't questioning your fight options. I was more questioning Garcia's motives for taking the elimination then not following through with a challenge for Haney's title.
Thanks.
