    If Loma can make Garcia panic and get uncomfortable, he wins

    Size would play a huge role here

    Loma will struggle at 140 I feel.

    He went neck and neck with Haney over 12 hard fought rounds. Garcia made Haney his *****.

    Isn't Garcia way too big?

    Time they rehydrate the difference in size will be ridiculous - and the fact Ryan is so much taller will just add to the perception that it's an absurd match up.

    It's been said already but Ryan is too big. 165 on fight night? Come on, people.

    Loma is by far the better boxer but size matters.

    Garcia will try and pull a Salido on Loma and use his size and power advantage. Question would be if Loma will try everything he can to get a KO this time and not leave it at the hands of the judges. Loma is so much more skilled than Garcia but size still matters.

    At 135, I always believed Loma would outpoint Ryan rather easily. The Ukrainian is simply too intelligent, skilled and ring savvy.

    The Garica that stepped into the ring against Haney, however, probably has too many physical advantages to overcome.

    140lb is too big for Loma
    135 too small for garcia
    Loma would have no mas him quicker then Tank last year Doe.

    As I, and most other people have said, Garcia is too big - but regardless, hypothetically speaking, what are the chances they could make a fight at 140?

    Forgive my lack of knowledge on their particular stats, but I just wanted to ask;

    Has Garcia ever fought at 135?

    Has Lomachenko ever fought above 135, say at 140 (or even over that weight limit)?

    Since, the OP says it would be fought at 140, my next question would be if Loma has never fought at 140, and Garcia seems unable (or unwilling) to make 140, where does that leave them?

    I don’t care how much they pay him or how bad fans want to see this fight, Loma has to put ricks in his pockets to make 135. He has no business at 140 and Ryan missed weight the last time he fought at the higher weight.

    Tank or Shakur are better fights for Loma at 135. Better fights for the fans. Ryan has bigger problems to contend with like failed drug tests and mental health.
