Do People Really Think Lomachenko Can Beat Mikey Garcia?

Garcia is too straight forward. Have really good fundamentals but he's too basic. I have Loma figuring out mikey winning a 7-5 8-4 type of fight.

At 135 I still favor Loma slightly. I think his speed and angles will be enough to offset Mikey’s power and aggression. Mikey has never fought anyone close to Loma in speed or footwork.

My prediction is if Top Rank makes the fight by the beginning of 2020 or late 2019, Teofimo Lopez takes him out.
Mikey would make him cautious. It’s just look easy from the outside but no one has really bullied Mikey, even the ones who had physical advantages over him.
Mikey has an elite level timing and he’d definitely catch loma inside 36 rounds. As all these lesser fighters were able to do.

That's the thing, his timing is great and more importantly his positioning is second to none. Mikey is never out of position and won't let Lomachenko dictate the action. And Mikey's jab is going to be a major issue for Lomachenko along with his power.
