    I think that it's a good move. At one point I was thinking that Easter would give him a good fight but I think he stops Easter. Loma don't want that work, regardless of what people say. Arum knows that and Linares would get stopped also. At 140, Mikey will be tested and there is real good chance that he will be defeated, especially if he fights Prograis. Prograis got too much dog in him for Mikey.

    Loma is fighting for a belt in his 3rd weight class by his 12th fight.

    The average record of his opponents in his last 9 fights is 24-1.

    ALL of his fights have been for a championship belt while making the last 4 QUIT.

    Linares (who hasn't lost in 6 years) aint no joke and not only is he moving up in weight to fight him, but he does it with no warm up bouts at 135 like Ward did for Kovalev.

    To say Loma doesn't want Mikey while moving up into Mikeys weight class and saying he wants Mikey next is redonkulous!

    There isn't anything to suggest that Loma is ducking ANYONE. Crazy!!!

    Loma moves up to 135, takes on the #1 ranked guy at the weight for his first fight, says ''First Linares, after Mikey,'' then Mikey announces his official move up to 140 = Loma ducking Mikey.

    Does it ever get old saying "Loma don't want that work" given the need to keep changing the names of the work he's avoiding?

    I'd figure it'd feel like Sisyphus pushing the boulder up the hill repeatedly by now.

    Never said Loma was ducking but I don't think he wants that Mikey work, and I know Arum don't want it because they could have had it. Whatever Loma or Linares has done, it don't equate to a fight with Mikey. Mikey is a whole different animal and would beat both Loma and Linares without too much problem.

    Remember when Loma didn't want that GRJ work either? lol

    From a GRJ vs Mikey Garcia thread from Feb 2012

    One poster said ''GRJ will tap that ass''

    Manfred's response


    :lol:and Mikey knows it.

    On a Mikey Garcia invites Gamboa to come get sum thread from 2013

    One poster said

    ''Mikey Garcia will get his toughest test's at north of 130, he is young... just 25 and can still fil in and has the power to move up.. he is gonna be the closest thing possible to a JMM reincarnation for me

    He won't get truly tested till he takes on bigger guys, his skills and power at 126 is to much for anyone to handle right now at 126''

    Manfred replied to it with this


    Ain't Gary Russell Jr. at 126?:huh

    On a Whose next for Mikey thread from 2013


    Like I said, GARY RUSSELL JR IS AT 126, WHAT THE **** IS UP WITH THAT?. Don't act like he is not qualified because we know better than that. If Mikey moves up then I ain't got no hate fkor that but when I read people talking about 126 is dead and ain't no fights to be made, well that's just dissing Gary and that's some bull****.:bbb

    GRJ vs Abner Mares thread 2013

    One poster said

    ''Russell Jr. will beat the **** out of Mares right now''

    Manfred's response


    You got that right. will beat the brakes off his ass.:yep

    Mares ain't got no real skills, he a rough and tumble with a lot of heart and grit. However skills pay the bills and Russell has skills up the yang yang. He also has speed and power. If you wanna see a real ass whoopin, put Mares in with Russell and your wish will be granted.:bbb

    2013


    ****, that's wishful thinking. They avoiding GR like the plauge, pretending like he's not ready.:scaredas:

    Russell has fought more pros than Lomanchenko and I believe he would have knocked both Salido and Lomo's asses out.

    Loma vs GRJ thread 2014


    If he fights Russell, that will be his second loss.

    He can't learn **** from Salido that will help him with Russell. Two totally different animals.:bbb

    Another Loma vs GRJ thread


    Knowing how Bob Arums funky ass works, it won't be Russell. He will do that Pac thang and put him in there with some easy money and hype it up. If that's the case then Russell is certainly the wrong fighter cause all Russell is bringing is a serious ass whooping and old Bob knows it. Pac is vacant title king.


    Russell is ready, all this talk about who he hasn't fought is irrelevant. His skillset is evident and what I see, it on par with Lomachenko and his speed and pop will carry the day for him in the fight.

    After Loma paddled GRJ's ass


    I think that Luft knows that and is referring to the Russell now and he is a different fighter mentally. I would love to see him and Loma again. As for Loma and Walters, that's a 50/50 fight. While Loma has the technique, Walters has the power and the dog in him and that uppercut could spell doom for the Lama man. If Loma can keep him honest then I give the edge to him.

    When he comes for Loma's ass, Loma will be clean in another division. Loma is on notice, he caught Russell at the right time. Russell was still green and Martinez was just waiting for somebody to knock his no talent ass out. The only dog he's been in there with is Salido and Salido don't have the precision, movement or power of Davis. Russell is ready for his ass now but he ain't looking back. He moving through these divisions picking off the weak. You can only do that for so long.

    2016


    :lol: If they don't know, they will know. Mr. Russell is about to tear some ass up. It's come to Jesus time and mercy is not in his vocabulary. He wants Loma like Joe Louis wanted Schmeling. I can't wait.

    2017


    No offense taken but I beg to differ. Regardless of how Loma starts, when he does start it's the same strategy and the same moves. His style worked fine in all his fights except the Salido fight. Instead of making adjustments, he just gutted it out and it costed him. How much figuring did it take for Sosa, Rocky, or even Russell who was really a novice when you compare his experience against Loma's. Loma is blessed with two attributes. His speed and his stamina. His ability to adjust his style or reconfigure his punch selection has yet to be seen.

    A man can make his mouth say anything. He had a shot at Mikey before Linares and didn't take it. Mikey moved on and there's nothing wrong with that. What I will say is that I think Arum had a lot more to do with it than Loma but there was no complaints from Loma and I can understand that too.

    How could he of had Mikey? Mikey is moving up right when Loma is going to his division. Mikey hasn't taken a serious challenge yet. He is nothing but a Duck.

    Loma has said many times he wants Mikey after Linares, and Mikey's response is to fight a nobody in a weak division. THAT is ducking. The only fight to make next is Mikey/Loma. And that is what Loma wants, but obviously you are just a quack as Mr. Ducky.

    I dont care about the Lipinets fight. It is dropping his belt and moving to another weight class when the P4P king is calling you out. It should be the NEXT FIGHT. OR you duck, like Mr. Ducky is doing.

    Anything else and you are scuuuured.
