Mikey vs Loma is way closer than I thought.

    I overrated Loma. Very good win tonight, but I didn't expect it to be that competitive. Let's not try to make Linares out to be something he's not. But to be fair, Loma gets extra credit since he was fighting a bigger man though. I still favor Loma 70/30, but it's not a complete schooling like I predicted before. I give Garcia a good shot at beating Loma and hurting him. Loma is the better fighter, but Garcia is bigger and size matters.

    I’m leaning towards Mikey due to him being bigger, stronger, and a much better pure boxer than Linares..

    Loma will unify with Beltran(won’t be as easy as some think)
    Mikey will unify with Easter

    Loma vs Mikey undisputed LW champion

    I think Mikey will be way easier for Loma than Linares.
    Mikey has shorter reach than Linares, he's smaller than Linares so he won't be able to keep his distance as well as Linares, can't see Mikey beating Loma

    Linares was massive tonight, he seemed to be 2x bigger than Loma in the ring

    I dont see how you can be overrating Lomachenko when you believe a fight with someone like Mikey Garcia is 70-30 and the only chance Garcia would have is his size

    Think you underrated Linares a very very good fighter. 44-3 vs 10-1 huge pro experience edge also a huge experience edge fighting at that weight. Loma ko’d Him despite looking like an elf next to him tonight.

    Great fight - great win. Daring to be great. Just enjoy it after years of guys waiting guys out and haggling over A side B side.
    This was a treat

    It’s not 70/30 and I’m not sure why some floyd fans tend to overrate loma.
    It’s more like 50/50 , or 55/45 in favor of mikey.

    I don't know why you thought Loma would school Mikey in the first place. Mikey is a ridiculously good boxer, there's no one who would school him.

    Nope. I've been a long time Linares fan. He was losing on points against Mitchell and getting outboxed, he got dominated for most of the second half against Campbell, and lost 3 times against mediocre fights. Very good fighter, but I knew what he was.

    Loma is not overrated...
    The guy is a 3 weight champ in 12 fights
    He moved up from 130 to 135 to fight the champ straight away
    The champ outweighed him by 16 pounds on fight night and was a lot taller and rangier than him.
