Mikey Garcia is a boss

[Spicoli]

I agree it looks scattered, and a Loma fight would be the dream fight. But Arum has been quite clear he isn’t going to make that fight.

And I agree it’s a bridge too far. But that’s exactly why Mikey wants it, because everyone says he shouldn’t.

Just in this era where everyone looks for the path of least resistance I respect a guy who could camp out at 135 and dominate making good money saying “you say I can’t beat this guy, then I want him”.

Some are saying the exact same of Loma right now who just barged in and crashed on Mikeys couch. Like to see him try to clean his own house out.

I don’t really understand. We know Loma is out with an injury. We know after that he has unification in mind because TR will always do in house first. Mikey can unify and fight Spence before Loma has done these things.

Then a Mikey/Loma fight lines up perfectly if TR is willing to do it. We know for a fact they are not willing to do it now because they said so. Do you suggest Mikey goes back on the shelf waiting on TR?

All with unifying and Loma will probably got Beltran route. Honestly don't think he makes it back to a huge Loma-Arum event after Spence jr in what I personally think is sure defeat and pretty costly on his body. In time it takes Mikey to unify, and he'll be moving away from a now recovered Loma, Spence jr will have 147 sorting out all around him.

I'd love to see the fight happen, Mikey would gets huge props. Don't see it happening tho. More of a publicity thing I think.

Could Mikey fight Linares before a Loma clash?

I don't think Garcia should venture much higher than 140.

Loma is doing rehab then a December fight(Beltran) I thought.

Garcia is looking at Easter then a December fight vs Spence.

Seems like it lines up well. Depending on how long Garcia holds up vs Spence. If he could survive 12 rounds without getting battered he walks away a bigger star even with an L.

For Spence I’d rather see a good WW, I’m only considering Mikey’s side. I’d rather not see guys jump 2 classes and get beat on size. Just, I don’t think Mikey has the same financial motivation others have had as Mikey already gets paid well. If he did it it would be because he believes he can win. Whether right or far more likely very wrong.

But fighting for 4 belts in 3 weight classes in one year would be a feat is all I’m really getting at.

That would definitely be some feat.

And imagine if he won.

It ain't going to happen but will make up for the lost time.

[Kirkland Laing]

Spence versus Garcia is nuts. He didn't look unbeatable against Lipinets, 140 looks too much for him. 147 against a massive welterweight who might be at 154 soon is crazy. I hope this is just him getting publicity.

Still feel like it won’t happen? They’re both talking about it now

Beat me to it. On one hand today's fighters are supposed to be better, yet they sniffle of the thought of being outweighed by 4-10lbs.

Yep some of the best have done well in 5 or more weights.

I'm a big Mikey fan, I'd prefer he didn't fight Spence next (I'd prefer Loma) but if he does, I will support him. A win makes him an ATG I'd say.
