    Is Mikey actually serious about fighting Spence?

    Or is he killing himself making weight?

    Or is he running from Lomachenko?

    Certainly wouldn’t get any stick for losing to Spence.

    He wouldn't get any less stick for losing to Lomachenko either.

    Yeah he would. Against Spence he's expected to lose. Losing doesn't do anything. Against Loma he has the size advantage. If he wins he's "too big" if he losses there's no excuse, he got beaten up by the smaller man.

    I was hoping he's keep both belts and unify with Loma next year.

    No probably not but maybe he feels he would with Lomo being smaller.

    Lomachenko is the better fight, against Spence Garcia will have his moments but he'll be broken down in the end.

    I will give Mikey HUGE PROPS and forgive his BS call outs and duck outs if he signs the Spence fight. No, when the opening bell rings.

    What if Garcia wins? Spence gets hit too much and Mikey may be able to carry some honest pop upto 147. Spence is yet to fight a technician on the level of Mikey Garcia.

    Maybes.from ******s but they don't matter, Most people recognise them as the two best lightweights and would give them props for fighting.

    No doubt and tbh I think Garcia is bar far Spence' best opponent but I think the natural size and power of Spence will tell late on, I honestly can't see him being able to hold Spence off for the whole 12.

    It's a fight which I think Garcia is game in taking.

    Huge props because Spence will be 165+ pounds.

    Mikey and the IBF Would probably implement a rehydration clause.

    The IBF already has a ten pound limit on re-hydration for fight night.

    Mikey is crazy for taking this fight
    Spence is a big welter with power
    Garcia gets beat down
