    Alright now that JML has been knocked out i can expect everyone to say JML get knocked out again and how they knew it all along.

    I have been saying it for a while. Garcia will take over FW and that includes Gamboa. I would like him to wait a year before Gamboa but JML i said he could fight now.

    Anyone else "change" their mind now?

    Too early for Mikey. I'm not ready to call him the next big thing at FW just yet, there's some work to do and like JuanMa he doesn't possess the fastest hands. Nice skills and power though, but at this moment I guess Lopez' workrate could take him well ahead on the cards either going the distance or getting the stoppage late.

    Nope. I will still support JuanMa and can't wait to see how he comes back from this, same with Lemieux.

    Sorry, i can't answer about Garcia as i don't know much about him.

    I think he is equally as fast as Lopez and posses the same amount of power. Also his combination punching is similar to that of JMM and also has a solid chin. Lopez's workrate?? Garcia shows great conditioning while Lopez stamina has not always been the best.

    Im telling you guys. This kid will take over FW SFW in the next year or 2.

    If you like JMMs offense which includes great combinations with power then you would like Garcia. Check him out.

    i dont want to pick on juanma now that he is down...but must agree with saul here...Mike fights smart and is good in finding open targets(wich juanma provides).The question is how will handle Juanma's power if getting hit.

    I liked what i saw from Mikey in his last fight, but he really needs to go more to the body. Thats my only complaint about him.

    I think he obviously will get hit and from what i have seen so far it looks like a solid chin. Even then his defense is better than JML so he will probably take less punishment at that.

    My complaint about him yes his body work is lacking and so is his killer instinct. Some may say he has no passion. Others say he is just a careful finisher. I think maybe he is just too careful because come on. If he didnt have passion he probably wouldnt be there today. Boxing is not easy and neither is the training and weight cutting.

    He's not boxer enough to decision Gamboa. If he catches Gamboa, then it could be a TKO as with any fighter, but no, no decision there. Watch carefully both of them fight.

    Salido vs. García would be very very nice. He must be very careful with Salido or he might be in for a rude awakening.

    I have and Gamboa will only be beaten by a counter puncher with power and good punch selection. A slick boxer would have to be faster than Gamboa to beat him. Impossible. A brawler would have to have an iron chin quick hands and relentless pressure. Hmm Salido maybe is the closest to that at the weight and we saw what happened.

    But Gamboa still makes mistakes and someone needs to catch him when he does and not just catch him with 1 punch. 1 punch can put him down because of his balance but in order to hurt him you would have to catch him with a combination which i see Garcia being able to do.

    I think a fight with these top guys would only showcase more of Garcia. I dont think we have seen it all yet.

    Dustaine just get ready to rock my avy in September :thumbsup
