Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia: Arum Would Never Let Lomachenko Fight Mikey!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Robert Garcia, brother and trainer of WBC lightweight champion Mikey Garcia (36-0, 30 KOs), does not believe Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum would ever allow WBO 130-pound champion Vasyl Lomachenko (8-1, 6 KOs) to get in the ring with Mikey.

but honestly if Broner loses to Mikey, most fighters will avoid him at 135 unless he stays at 140 for Crawford.

Sounds like Loma-Mikey isn't happening...

That sucks, but if we get Loma-Rigo in December at 130, and Mikey Garcia vs Errol Spence in December at 147, then that's just as good in its own way. I just wish these guys would fight the best at their weights while they're close, before making moves up in weight that separate the fighters for good.

For example Loma-Rigo should have happened at 126, then Loma-Mikey should have happened at 130 when Mikey was at 130, then Mikey-Crawford should have happened at 135 when Crawford was at 135, and then both Mikey and Crawford could move up to 147 to fight those guys.

But instead all these fighters are weight jumping at different times, finding ways to always avoid each other on the way up. It's a joke and it's ruining boxing. All those guys could have fought already, but instead they are almost 30 and still haven't, and it will probably end up just like 175 where there were tons of top guys and great fights to be made, but now they're all past their primes and still none of them ever fought each other except Kovalev and Ward in two corrupt fights, which hardly counts.

Boxing is still ****, don't let anyone tell you different. This year is an improvement but overall it's still ****.

Mikey Vs Linares looks more likely to take place than Mikey Vs Loma.

Lot of good matchups in the lower weight. I'll really be impressed if Mikey beats Broner and then takes another high profile fight right away: Loma, Crawford, Spence. Could anyone survive those three fights. For now, just looking forward to Saturday.

Lmao what a *****. And lol @ mickey even being remotely competitive at 147

[OctoberRed]

I actually agree. Crazy in-house going on with Arum.

Spence looks like he could make 154 pretty easy. But hey if Mikey beats him at 147 he can then move to 154 and fight Charlo or Lara.

Then can move up to 160 and challenge GGG or Canelo!!!

Then move to 168 and fight DeGale.

After that wouldn't it be aweomse to see Mikey Garcia vs. ANDRE Ward??? Or maybe even Kovalov???

I'm joking of course. SMH at Mikey Garcia vs. SPENCE 147...

You know that guy is special....he is a creative soul.

Btw...I would love it if Mikey went back down to 135 and dared Loma to come up.

When did beating broner become so praise worthy? Lmao. I was with garcia until he started saying all that. Look if you dont beat broner you are ruined because broners a proven b- at best gate keeper status.
