Adrien Broner vs Mikey Garcia July 29 - Live & "FREEEEEEEEE!!!" on SKY SPORTS!!!

[Kirkland Laing]

Not big on Garcia taking the quick fix elevator in rising weight but if any fight will prove it foolish this will be it. Still like Mikey by paint job break down and he avoids the inside work of Broner.

Mikey's camp was rather confident Linares didn't want to fight right now. An exciting win over Broner sort of puts him in a position to call shots with elevated status. Could get us to a Linares fight quicker. At least that's my hope

That would be a great display of boxing. Just don't like the weight on Linares moving up even being a great boxer puncher like he shows. That the plan? If anything Broner is very physical durable and good testing ground for Mikey and good 140 intro. Even though Mikey will prob be fighting a bloated jr middle in Broner

Jarrett Hurd v Trout on undercard!

Garcia says this is a one fight deal at 140 and then he's moving back down to 135. Who knows though. I think Garcia beats Broner in a spectacular display of boxing. He'll make Broner look like the totally one dimensional inside counterpuncher he is and put on a show.

We should have a sweepstake for what weight Broner weights in at first. Apparently there's a big money penalty for missing the weight though so you never know, he might actually make it if he stays out of jail and in camp. Probably the last time we'll see him in a big fight. He must be desperate for money to have signed for Garcia.

Yeh that really sounds like a "play it by ear" approach by Garcia. Not a fan of a guy playing whak a mole jumping around divisions if he has no intention of staying there. Just realized Broner isn't even ranked at 140 but is at 147 . Clearly they have as much difficulty predicting the fat twats next move as he does. I think Garcia stays at 140 off an impressive victory.

I'm not that fussed about them moving up and down in weight so long as they're in good fights. The two best fights for Garcia and arguably in boxing are with Lomachenko and Crawford but they're both with Arum. I wonder just how keen the respective parties actually are to fight each other assuming the promotional issues could be overcome. I'm definitely not going to hold my breath for either fight being made.

You see it the same as me. Bob won't work with him and Linares isn't interested right now so might as well get loads of attention fighting Broner.

I see this as an easy fight for Garcia. Can Broner even make 140 anymore? If Garcia smashes it I see him remaining at 140.

Think this is a great fight and will likely be better than the great one we just watched (Ward vs Kov). Broner HAS to come in shape for this fight, but IF he does, this will be a barnburner. Broner, for all of his faults and big mouth, can fight in the ring. Very strong, solid defense (when he pays attention to it), and good skills with a hard punch. Mikey is a phenom, great all around skills, great punch (at the lighter weights), always in shape and always comes to fight.

If both guys are at their best, I actually give the edge to the larger Broner, but not by much. Love that so many top guys are finally starting to face each other. Right now I'm calling Mikey as the winner, but only because I'm not convinced that Broner will show up in top shape (or even make the weight).

I've been watching lots of Mickey Garcia interviews the last few months. I really like him. Seems completely honest and humble.

I can't see Broner making the weight, but I hope he does. Obviously Broner has loads of haters, but credit where credit is due, he never looks for a soft touch to fight, and he's very game.
If he makes weight it should be a great scrap.

I think Garciao can systematically start to pick at broner and build himself a nice comfortable lead on the cards. Anytime broner will look to do something big and enforce his will on Mikey, Mikeys going to lash out and look to brawl. Broner doesn't like finding himself in those situations so he'll back off. That being said, Broner is still fast and big enough at the weight to catch Mikey with a slick counter and put him on his a$$. It's been done before but the question is will Mikey respond the same at this weight... and avoid getting finished off by someone who should be as desperate as broner should be at this stage. The only question for me is if broner catches Mikey like he did shawn porter, can mikey clear the cobwebs and continue.

A few questions is ... Is Mayweather in Mikeys ear spilling broners secrets? Do they use any of the plan maidana used (Not sure if Mikey has the same punch/chin). Does broner come in motivated enough?

Robert Garcia got an up close look at him in the Maidana fight and he knows his shit. I think Broner is the absolute perfect opponent for Mikey to put on a real show here and let the world see just how talented he is. I expect a very one sided UD. I'm really looking forward to this one even allowing for the fact that after Maidana and Porter the enjoyment in watching Broner lose has decreased a lot.

Another good question. Why the hell is Broner on the left hand side of the poster in this promotion? Broner really has more star power than Garcia?

Sadly Broner gets better ratings than anyone. He is somehow the top non PPV draw.
