Mikey Garcia gives up title, skips 135 and is moving to 140

They are going to ruin this kid filling his head with premature superstar status and stuffing him like a bloated turkey.

Yes seemed to have his head turned. Idiot.

Garcia arguably swerved Gamboa and it was beginning to look like he was having trouble with Salido late in that fight before it was stopped. He hasn't fought this year. He still needs a break out performance, which he won't get not fighting. He's leapfrogging Crawford's division at 135 to jump to 140, but there enough tough fighters at 140 regardless. Until he fights, why does his weight matter?

I don't remember Garcia cleaning out 130 or 135...??

There are at least 5 fights, big money fight, that he can have at 130 or 135....

Yes, however, Garcia has said he cannot make 130 any longer, and he might not be able to make 135.

Yea he said he would have a fight at a catch-weight of about 138 and see how he feels is Arum looking at matching him with Pac who is talking 140 too

Honestly, he did look a little too big for 130. Nicholas Walters looked too big for Feather last night too. Walters can go right up to Welter if he keeps it steady, while Donaire should look to move back down or retire.
