Robert Garcia confirms Mikey Garcia ducked Lomachenko

[Ogecca MaMa]

How do you duck someone who claimed they're not ready for you? Mikey is daring to be great while Loma is turning down fights with a 40yo Pac and doesn't avenge his losses.

that exact moment, when Loma in the hospital - and Mikey is ready to fight him.

I'm sure Loma could have made Arum make this fight.
Their would of been plenty on the table for everyone but now Mikey has moved up we will never get to see them fight because Mikey is delusional thinking he can beat Spence.

If Loma really wanted it he would have moved up to 135 when Mikey told him to in 2017. Instead Arum had Loma stay at 130 and fight smaller fighters Marriaga and Rigo. They could have tried to make the fight with Mikey in 2018 but Arum had Loma take on Linares, Arum already had Lomas next fight setup with him facing the winner of Beltran/Pedraza. Mikey wasn't going to sit around and wait until Arum and Loma were ready, especially when he had been fighting at 140 already. It was Loma and Arum who missed out on making the fight, MIkey already outgrew 135.

I'm a Loma fan and you are a dumbass lol. Spence > Loma in every way shape or form, more dangerous in every aspect. Loma didnt even dare fight Pacquiao.

He has a built in excuse when he loses to Spence. "He was too big doe, i've never fought at WW doe". If he fought Lomachenko at 135 he would have no room to explain away a loss. Nobody really expects him to beat Spence whereas people see him vs Loma as a 50-50 fight.

Without question, of course he did. It's the reason why Mikey is cherrypicking, the very green, underdeveloped, inexperienced and unseasoned Erroll Spence, Jr.
I hope that it backfires as a cherrypick gone wrong on him though.

[champion4ever]

It's the same reason why he quit versus Orlando Salido because he was scared.
