If Garcia and Linares don’t fight soon, Garcia will move up and the fight won’t ever be made.
He beat up Broner for a reason and needs to stay 140. Love Linares talent and respect every step in the ring but he's a door prize in the mind of Arum. Garcia bigger fresher sharper. Who wants to collect trinkets in a division you've already left? weight is going to catch up to Garcia also, all this Crawford talk.
Take Linares and clean up first, ride to highlight but either way I don't see Garcia maintaining 135 and being reasonably asked to wait on Loma. Arum wants to keep it all in house but doesn't necessarily translate to best realistic fights imo. Loma, Crawford and Garcia are all moving in the same up direction but at exact same time. Make Garcia vs Figuerora for now, I'll watch![]()
That would be fun. Figueroa's never in a dull fight but Garcia picks him apart. That fight would have to be at 147 as I don't see Omar ever making 140 again. If Linares/ Flanagan and Garcia/ Easter come off then a unification between the winners has to happen. Loma was already talking Flanagan at 135 in November last year so 135 won't be too far off.
I heard Rigo talking about the WBSS and how he thinks it's the future of the sport and he was interested in taking part next year. All these divisions could use the boost of these types of tournaments.
They live, We sleep
Garcia stops Linares who’s had an easy ride beating overrated British fighters. He’s made nice money over here but his trip back to America won’t be so kind and he’s getting a reality check
