Personally I think Mikey/Loma is a bigger fight than Mikey/Spence, so it would seem like the best decision. Mikey's last fight was a unification, so a defence against Commey is fine.

Then they both need to do everything possible to get that fight done. Linares/Loma had many roadblocks but it came together. If both guys really want it, it will get done.
It is bigger, if it can happen. But a bird in the hand... and Mikey has been saying for over a year now that they won’t even talk to him. And there is still nobody saying “why won’t you talk to Mikey?” Has anyone ever heard them say “we are looking at Mikey Garcia after.....” after anything?

We knew after Linares it would be the old guy who didn’t even really win the belt, until he lost it and we knew it would be Pedraza. Fine, coming off an injury it’s fine to fight someone Tank made look like a punching bag. But let’s hear “after... we’re looking at Mikey” after Pedraza, after the next leap year, after something.

My mind says Arum said he won’t consider Spence for Crawford until it’s a PPV. Logic would indicate that Loma/Garcia falls into the same boat. A Commey fight doesn’t help Loma/Garcia become a PPV. I’m worried Arum will May/PAC the Spence/Crawford fight and the Loma/Garcia fight. I don’t want to see the best fights put off years. A year, fine, 2, I guess. But give an indication it’s closer than it was in January
