    Mikey trying to follow the blueprint Mayweather made famous. Win titles in different weight classes against weaker or less experienced titlists, avoiding dangerous opponents in their prime, look to take out name fighters on the decline.

    I blame that damn contaminated Mexican meat. It's driven Mikey out of the lightweight division.

    I don't understand it. He would have beat Linares, Easter, and Lomachenko. Easter would have been the easiest work of the three in my opinion. Why fight a no name guy at 140?

    I don't think he is scared. I just think he feels he can't win it. Loma would outpoint him.

    Ivan is tough and has good power but Mikey will make him look like an amateur. The only shot Ivan has is to land a big punch, which I think is highly unlikely against Mikey. Mikey should have an easy night with Ivan. Take his best shots early, then move in for the kill around round 6 or 7.

    I'm a Mikey fan, but he is getting annoying as hell. He's becoming like GGG, possibly worse. They get all this hype, they have great ability, but don't do what it takes to secure the big fights.

    The great mikey garcia the next great p4p star avoids all the top guys at lightweight and it's a stacked weight to fight at the much easier light welter division his picked the easy fights since his return hell the his done it all his career his done nothing different really to danny garcia and he gets alot of hate

    If Mikey now gets a **** haircut and starts only throwing blind hail mary left hooks then I'm officially done with watching his fights.

    But everyone in boxing sees Lomachenko as a god, so it's expected.

    I've always been a Linares fan so Loma Jorge is a great fight for me. I can't wait to see how Loma tries to deal with those combos in the early running.

    Mikey would of been a good fight for him too but meh. He don't want it.

    I'd say it's more like following the Broner blueprint.
