Garcia is good enough technically To escape a car wreck beating. His defense is sound, knows how to tie up, can move, and turns off well.
How is this going to ruin Mikeys career? He’s got nothing to lose here, save total humiliation via unfortunate moment that would involve Spence’s nipples or physical harm. It’s like saying that if Usyk lost to AJ tomorrow his career would be ruined. Dumb thread.
Loma ‘s not about the money though. He keeps saying that his goal is to become undisputed and retire. So far his track record supports this. Some money along the way is nice but he’s clearly not chasing it so why move up and risk his health.
This makes sense. Mikey knows that Loma would be hard to beat at 135, but forcing him up to 140 would be a smart move.
James is getting seduced by the power thing,seen enough examples of big puncher s get humiliated,lest they have something approaching a game plan. one recent example Usyk v Gassiev,given Usyk is a cruiser weight version of Lomo I think him and Tank would play out the same,save Tank would not to twelve rounds as he's be forced to quit imo. his opinion of Mikey could have some merit,will have to see if Lomo reacts well to surgery.
my opinion is that Sugar Mosley was probably better than Mikey on account of the quality opposition at the time,reckon Mikey would of competed back then but would also have losses imo. his corner will need to be sensible,no good asking Mikey as he's a warrior,if it's looking bad pull him out with his health and pride intact.
all depends if Mikey can get his respect,we seen some brutal power from Mikey at 135 but can be do it at 147lbs? no question Mikey can box Spence so long as he doesn't walk through him imo.
What brutal power? Mikey looked like he was 2-3 weight classes bigger than Zlaticanin... And Zlaticanin was never that good.
