    I think Mikey and Elie broke up... He has done ONE interview since Spence parted his ass cheeks and drilled him and it was with Rainbow Alexander of FloydHype to announce an exhibition match.

    So it’s gonna be Luke Campbell vs Devin Haney.. If so I think highly of Haney but and not to highly of Luke Campbell.. But I hope this doesn’t turn out like Charlo vs Lubin where the young guy was moved entirely too soon

    He purposefully killed the Loma fight by moving up for Spence!! Clear duck job. Can't root for this guy anymore :treadmill: .

    Clear ducking. As blatant as Bowe throwing his WBC belt away to avoid Lewis.

    I slightly agree as I said I don’t think highly of Luke Campbell but you still have to take precaution when a prospect takes that next step.. Fortunately for Haney, as opposed to Lubin, he’s fought contenders in his last three fights and each guy had a completely different style than the previous guy.. So he’s been tested

    Who is the WBC Lightweight #2 now ? Last time I checked it was the Russian guy Zaur Abdullaev. And Haney is next. Not sure what position Lopez has now after defeating Edis Tatli. I have feeling that it'll be Campbell vs Lopez next due to his rank rise after his last win.

    Anyway, it is very much expected that Garcia is to leave this weight class. It's not surprising thing. So it is now clear that he was the one who doesn't want the fight with Loma to happen. Too bad, that fight is a potential PPV which brings good fortune for them both.

    Campbell does not 'suck'.. He matched reigning champ Linares punch for punch a week after his father had passed away! His only other loss he emphatically righted not long ago against an awkward, durable veteran.. McGuigan is doing a really good job with him.

    You're a disrespectful welp that's never had a fight in his entire life let alone won an Olympic gold..

    :lol:

    Was expecting it, Mikey has spent his career ducking a proper fight at 135. He ducked Linares, ducked Lomachenko, then ducked Lomachenko again. He knows what would happen, he has a better idea of his level now.

    Mikey is going to fight at 140 pounds. If Loma wants it he can fight Mikey at 140 pounds and get that work but of course Arum already said no." Mikey is a boss and Loma has his own boss that is the problem.
