Mikey vs Loma is way closer than I thought.

    Mikey will gain confidence from Linares dropping Loma. This fight still won't be any closer to happening though

    I think he'd school him if they were the same weight.

    School Beltran yes maybe but stop Beltran come on man..

    My assessment watching Loma vs Linares is the Loma skills are significantly better but Linares has good skills to go along with the size advantage.. Beltran is much bigger than Linares and hits much harder.. Crawford who did a great job against Beltran didn’t stop him and he’s even bigger than Beltran.. Beltran also like Salido tends to fight borderline dirty.. I’m not saying he won’t school I’m just saying it will be tougher than most think it will..

    I personally have it 50/50, maybe even edging Mikey. I just rate him and always have, at least the 130-135 versions. Dude's a monster and quite under-appreciated in my eyes, I mean people do give him his accolades but I still think he's not REALLY acknowledged to the extent that he should be.

    For me its not a close fight, Garcia is elite, but Lomachenko is matrix.

    Beltran lost to Moses in his last for me. This version of Beltran is slower, more powerful but slower. He will get stopped for me due to confusion.

    Loma beats Beltran very easy. Garcia, KO's Easter.

    Lol you think Taylor would school Mikey, when Mikey has done more in fight that Taylor has in over 15. And I like Taylor:

    Well it depends where the fight is... if at 130, Loma wins... if at 135 I still favor Loma but if Loma moves up to 140, I would favor Mikey. Loma only put on 3.6 pounds overnight, that's a sign he shouldn't be at 135

    You forgot that Garcia was down against Roman Martinez?

    Yeah, if Mikey is willing to come down that would be a hell of a fight. I think Loma has a good shot at winning at 135 but if he has to go to 140 odds definitely shift to Mikey.
