Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Gives Up IBF; IBF To Order Commey-Chaniev

[R-Hand Southpaw]

Why are you lying and being a delusional fanboy? Loma barely got to 130 in the summer of 2016 and as early as spring 2017 he said he would be moving up to 135 in the none to distant future. Obviously there's difficulties making a Loma-Garcia match because of the promotional problem but fanboys like you plant the blame 100% on the side you don't like. Mikey had one fight at 135 in January of 2017 and then moved up he came back down 18 months later (when Loma was fighting Linares who Mikey ducked and was #1 in the division a guy Mikey previously said that's the fight he wants) and then says he's vacating and moving to 147.

Loma has repeatedly said his goal is to be undisputed and Mikey is the fight he wants. I'm yet to hear similar from Garcia's side. Even Robert said it's a fight for 3-4 years down the line not now whereas Loma has stated he wants it next. Loma moved up from 130 fairly quickly and went for the #1 guy in the division in Linares. The same Linares who Mikey twice refused to fight.

Loma has a history of answering the fans and delivering the fights people ask for. No doubt you were one of the many who demanded a Rigo fight and then ignored the weight difference and picked Rigo and then logged out and came back under a different name.

I dont get these fangirls.

Lomachenko is THE BEST fight he could make and has a higher chance of winning.

But instead they're trying to change the reality, a duck, into a brave narrative.

Fighting out of your division would be brave IF there was no one left in your own division, but there is the #1 p4p waiting for you in a full 4 belt unification clash.

That is legacy.

I might as well become a pro and box anyone 6 divisions higher and have everyone call me the bravest person in the world and earn everyone's respect, but even I know, and everyone else knows that's a dumb as **** idea. But no, because you're a fan girl and its your man, hes BRAVE.

That's just the most ludacris **** I've ever heard and just like I pointed out before all the excuses that are set to come.

Now everyone is gonna bash lomachenko because he isnt fighting Mikey at 135 because mikey vacated leaving weak ass champs.

Mikey will probably retire after he gets his ass beat or make excuses to why he cant fight loma. He wants lomachenko to go to 140 or 147. He comes back to 135 and lomachenko drained him. Then that starts the weak ass narrative that lomachenko cant fight anyone his size, he makes people 2 divisions lower come up and 2 divisions higher drain down.

That's what all the mikey fans are gonna say next. Call it now. What a joke.

Has there been talk or rumors about the location of this fight?? Spence vs Garcia

Best bet would be to put this fight in Texas, L.A. or Nevada.
Wouldnt be surprised if it ended up at Barclays doe.

For the people saying that he could just fight Loma afterwards, it just won't be the same.
Both fighters are in their primes right now. Mikey had two belts and Loma could get two belts if he beats Pedraza.
I doubt Mikey goes back down to 135 anyways. He will either stay at 147 or go down to 140.

Loma has said he will stay at this weight for a while to get adjusted to it.
I don't mind it since Loma still has work to do at 135 and even 130.
You have Berchelt, Machado, Davis, Farmer, Campbell (who may get the WBC), Commey, and of course the Pedraza fight coming up. Those are all good names and I would like to see Loma fight several of those guys. Mikey could have been in the mix, but is choosing not to.

If we ever get a Loma-Mikey fight it will be when both are at the ends of their careers/past their primes. It's boxing though. What else is new? We never get the fights we want. When they do happen it's when one or both fighters are not at their best.

Should of got that easy mando out of the way and fought Loma, Haney and maybe Tank Davis; then move up to 140 and mix it up with Pacquiao, Linares, Prograis, Taylor and Ramirez. Oh well, on to the next one.

I get a feeling Mikey will retire or go away for a while after this fight.

Thats also what im assuming, either way im planning to be there

[Nightfall]

Spence vs Garcia should be nowhere near the Barclays center. L.A., Texas or Vegas are perfect

[Noelanthony]

Why else would he vacate?

Because he makes peanuts making a defence to a nobody that no one cares about. Not to mention some fans will eat that move up and believe that is a clearance sign he fights Spence next. Mikey is better than I thought. He is taking everyone for a ride. They will not agree on the splits and Mikey will go on and fight Linares or Garcia. He would probably make more money fighting Garcia I imagine

That's another thing. Mikey doesn't like boxing. He always says he gets bored from the training, because it's the same thing over and over again. That doesn't sound like a guy that wants to do this much longer.
He is about to be 31 years old. How much time will he continue boxing? You have to think it won't be much longer.
If the Spence fight gets made and Mikey ends up hurt I think he may just call it there.
Mikey should have made the Loma fight then, win or lose, he could move up to 140, another weight class that is getting heated. There really isn't a huge reason to face Spence.
Plenty of fights at 135/140. 130, 135, and 140 have great fighters. It's not like there isn't anything available for him.

I had a little hope that we would get Loma-Mikey next year, but I'm starting to feel we may never get to see it.

More like it’s an easier fight to make.

Exactly It's funny when people try to change the narrative with their own spin on it
