    More or less likely now???

    People predicted a career ending beating.. It wasnt. Decisive loss yes, as pretty much expected but he wasn't even wobbled..

    Still love to see it.

    Loma schools Garcia and records his 4th career No Mas victory. And he does it without having an astronomical size advantage too. ;) Mikey will be the bigger guy but it won’t matter.

    I'll tell you one thing. A far better fight than that trash Garcia sold us against Spence.

    A little (very little :smile:) bit more likely, I guess.

    I agree. His speed, angles & footwork will befuddle Garcia.

    Loma UD. Still like to see it tho..

    Unlike Spence, Loma will not have a reach advantage on Mikey. It will be an extremely difficult fight for Lomachenko. At this point I would rather choose Garcia to win, in fact... :shocked:

    He never has a reach advantage on anyone

    Why would he need one when he he can switch position so effortlessly anyways? He's not going to move in straight lines & allow Garcia to find his range & distance he's too clever.. He'd be massively switched on for Garcia too instead of just bored coasting like he did with Pedraza...

    Don't get me wrong. Garcia is an effective LW & he'd be dangerous but I'd favour the slicker, quicker, more three dimensional Loma.

    Yes, Loma will have to move all the time and Mikey will fight very differently from what Pedraza did. Pedraza was throwing a lot of light punches just to fill the air in front of him and prevent Loma from closing the distance on him, but Garcia will try either to time Loma and counterpunch him hard or even walk Loma down mercilessly.

    If you thought slow ass Mikey looked limited in his boxing against a big, traditional boxer in Spence... just wait until you see him against a wizard like Lomachenko.
    That fight won’t ever happen, I’d be absolutely shocked if Mikey wanted that fight. Maybe now that his pants have been pulled down and he’s lost his precious zero he won’t be so careful with avoiding threats, but I doubt it. Mikey has a history of ducking, I expect him to duck out of the sport before he entertains the thought of being humiliated by Lomachenko.

    Spot on analysis. I agree, Loma's footwork would trouble Garcia. I do think Garcia would have a puncher's chance but I think Loma wins a pretty clear decision if they fight.

    Pedraza was always the tougher fight because of that, because of his movement. Mikey is slow and straight forward, he’s a poor athlete and has no surprises. To think that it just takes a bit of size and average punching power to take care of Lomachenko is absurd.

    Mikey will be marquez to loma. Don't let his performance against spence fool you into thinking he has no chance against loma. Loma ain't spence too

    I'm with you, I don't think Garcia quits against Loma. But I do think he'd drop a decision.
