Comments Thread For: Bernstein: Mikey Garcia vs. Lomachenko Can Become Special Fight

[PunchyPotorff]

Al hasn't landed on some amazing factoid. Any boxing fan knows Mikey/Loma is THE fight we'd luv to see. Just so Mikey keeps his workrate at a good clip, he can out work Loma to a UD. But it will take the very best Mikey to beat Loma. Bring it on.

[Blue Heffner]

Loma said he will not fight Mikey because he is to big for him, not Bob you idiot

Lol...but he had no problems bringing up Rigo two weight classes...Funny how that works.

That will be Mikeys excuse but in reality the offer will be a career high payday. He ran from gamboa abd a career high payday of a million dollars abd claimed he was low balled. I dont understand how people buy in to Mikey, every time hes presented with a challenge abd a career high payday he runs and fights a lesser challenge for less money. It cant be everyone elses fault over and over again. Dude is 40 fights in and his toughest challenge was Broner who isnt considered an elite fighter. Loma is 11 fights in and already has 2 better wins on his resume with rigo and walters

I Love Loma but chill out!!! Some of you guys make it so so hard to enjoy him with the superman stories! Lol!! Walters & Rigo haven't did anything but beat a small Donaire as pros! Neither one has another significant win.

Mikey Garcia is on the verge of being a 4 div champ! Broner has had a better pro career than both Walters or Loma! What in thee casual fan **** are you talking about??????

Broner has not had a great career at all. Hes a 4 division champ by fighting the weakest opponents possible. His best win was against Paulie Malignaggi. Every time Broner stepped up his competition he lost. Maidana Porter and now Mikey Garcia. Maidana and Porter werent even considered elite or p4p, Donaire was. Mikey is going to be a 4 division champ by beating Lipinets lol so does that really mean anything? He would have gotten much more respect had he at least fought Easter but hes taking the easy way out like he always does

Loma called out Mikey directly and said he'd like to fight him next so you guys need to quit spreading lies. When did he say Mikeys too big and he doesnt want to fight him? Alls he said was moving up and fighting Mikey would be the same as Rigo movong up to fight him. He was making a comparison of the weight but then he said hed like to fight him next

[BendOver]

He has won titles in 2 weight classes which means he had balls enough to move up and fight the champions. I guarantee you if he moves up and schools Garcia, people will say that Garcia is really a junior welterweight who struggled to make the 135 pound limit. Peace.

i think he won his last medal at 132. And was campaigning at the same weight in the wbs. So i think he was trimming down and was always the bigger guy. My opinion is that Mickey is about the same size.

[BendOver]

What in gods tarnation are you talking about? Arum said after the Rigo fight that Loma would make Mikey quit and hed put Loma im with anyone from 130-140.

We all know how this is going to go down because weve seen this time and again with Mikey Garcia. Top Rank will offer Mikey a career high payday and Mikey will turn it down and fight a much weaker opponent for much less money and say he was lowballed. Mikey is the biggest fraud in boxing. At least Tank admits Loma would kick his a$$, mikey just talks **** and doesnt back it up at all

every time arum offers a fight to mickey. It has something on the contract that mickey's ppl doesn't like.

[davef]

Not a big fan of either but damn Mikey looks a lot bigger in that photo

Right and any other time Mikey is offered a top level fighter and a career high payday he turns it down and blames the other side and then fights lesser opponents for less money. Eventually it comes a time when you realize hey wait a minute it cant be everyone elses fault every single time because these are career high paydays hes being offered and also the biggest names hes faced so Mikey can make excuses all he wants but at the end of the day theres no good reason to turn down career high paydays and elite names unless you just want easy fights and dont mind taking less money. Isnt boxing a business? Doesnt mikey care about legacy? Apparently he doesnt care about legacy or money and is content taking easier fights so he can hold on to his unbeated record but fans can see right through his b.s.

This is really getting sad and pathetic, people want to believe so bad that Loma isnt the real deal that they twist his words around and lie about what he said. He said if he moves up and fights Mikey it would be the same weight difference as Rigo and him, didnt say anything about not wanting to fight him he was just making a comparison. Then later on they asked him if he could choose any fighter he wanted for his next fight who would it be and he said Mikey Garcia. Yet somehow people twist it around and now the story is Loma said he wouldnt fight Mikey because of the weight difference. You people on here are seriously clowns. Before the Rigo fight you guys were saying Rigo would beat Loma he was too skilled and blah blah and then after Loma makes him look like an amateur and quit then you guys say oh well Loma was too big even though he beat him with skill and wasnt using his size to bully him around the ring. Its pathetic but its ok because Loma is on top and is going to be the biggest star in boxing by fighting the tough fights while Mikey talks big but fights guys like Lipinets. This is why Loma is already a bigger name and gets paid more than Mikey in only 11 fights
