Thread: Mikey Garcia vs. Juan Carlos Burgos is done for Jan 25th 2014 on HBO

Apparently Arum has told Ring TV that the deal is complete for Mikey to make his first defence against Burgos. Not an easy fight for Garcia but I expect him to win it well.

Decent fight, but not exactly a pick em, I think Garcia might blast him out in fact. Burgos is really good, but I doubt he hits hard enough to take Garcia out, and doesn't seem to follow a gameplan or anything. He'll box really well off the backfoot early and then come out with a Kid thunder approach once he's tired, could be why he's had nothing but close fights lately. I think Garcia is on another level and beats him either way.

Im very excited for this fight! Long before this fight was even on the radar, as a big fan of Burgos, I always wondered if he'd ever get a shot at Mikey cuz knowing it was a matter of time before they fought in the same division..

Garcia is on a hot streak but Burgos is not somebody to take lightly. He sure aint no bumass Rocky martinez let's make that clear. Burgos has all angles covered and he can do it all..

Mini Burgos mofuckas!!

I like the way Arum is guiding Garcia's career.. He isn't pushing him into the wolves but he's not babying him either.. He's taking the proper steps and it's only right for him to fight guys like Burgos at this stage of his career..

One thing about Bob arum. Him and his matchmakers know how to develope their fighters.

Arum doesn't give you the most competative fights though. Top Rank baby their fighters too long and build up to fights you want to see before leaving it too long so the fight ends up past its sell by date.

JuanMa Lopez vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa is a prime example. JuanMa was guided way too long until a 50-50 fight in some people's eyes was never made and became a total mismatch.

Kelly Pavlik was hailed a a Middleweight killer but other than Taylor, he never really beat a top Middleweight.

Chavez Jr. is another one.

Then look at who Mikey is beating to become a 2 weight world champion. Rocky Martinez. How he was a 2 time champion I'll never know.

To me these fights are conning the public. I much prefer the way Golden Boy does things with their sink or swim attitude towards prospects.

Garcia should take it wide but if there is anyone who can find holes and upset the best layed plans, its Burgos.

El Bump

Undercard is on toprank.tv now.

Verdejo with an epic one punch first round KO. That guy has some left hook on him. He didn't even throw it properly.

This ring looks gigantic! Szpilka kind of looks like a tattooed Wimpy Halstead

lively fight between jennings and the pin so far :S not bad.... close rounds going by my drunk state and poor internet stream :S

Have 3-1 Jennings, picking spots and tempo. Szpilka doesn't use southpaw to his advantage that much at all. Just got wobbled at the bell Szpilka did

spilka has a bit of a weird style :S he seems to like leaving his hands low but he isnt that good at dodging things... i am not surprised he has been knocked down so many times before.... good fight so far.. i have jennings up by 1.... but that doesnt mean much :S

Ward constantly shutting Lampley up Ohhh Szpilka down on bady shot looks raggedy

Complete package for Jennings. Broke gutsy Szpilka down and beat him up for tko
