Robert Garcia: Mikey Is Too Big And Too Strong; May End Lomachenko's Career!

Dont quote height to me. Height has nothing to do with frame. Mikey was cutting off limbs to make 130lbs....Loma puts on 9lbs over night. He would be giving up 10lbs (at least) to Mikey and clearly the smaller man.

Zlat was about 6inches shorter. Timing a midget coming in is not "using angles". I'm a mikey fan, his wins against salido and juan ma were nice...but outside of that he's fought nobody and he's a straight forward 1-2-3 fighter. Loma eats his lunch. It's only interesting because Mikey is much bigger.

 

Before the fight: Zlat will be Mikey's toughest test, Schaefer told him not to take it, Zlat hit hard AF and Mikey's chin is shaky, many predicted Zlat to win.
After: Zlat wasn't that good, he fought and beat up nobodies, it's easy to time him b/c he's short.

No the uppercut and the setup was using angles though, and pivoting out and around to be in position to throw that right is using angles. But if you've seen many of Mikey's fights and think he's a straight forward boxer--that's on you breh. Either you don't know what things like timing, distance, range, footwork etc. are. Mikey is a highly skilled boxer with explosive power for every weight class he's been in. He's never had his 'lunch ate' in fact nobody has come close. That's why it's an interesting 50/50 fight.

 

This is great for Lomachenko; to have a guy like Garcia to test him. A true high profile fight for the sport where the winner may get some crossover appeal.

 

Yeah, I'm quoting height to you as well as frame. Nothing frail about Loma. Loma solid as a rock and strong as a bull. You see how he came back on Salido and Salido was at 147. Don't get on here acting like he some little frail man because that's BS. He is big enough to fight at 135 period. I don't hear him whining about he's too small, he's ready to rock so you might as well quit trying to make excuses for him that he don't need and didn't ask for.

 

Look at Lomachenko vs Verdejo, he moves to his left a lot and keeps his right hand up to avoid his best punch (left hook). Give me a specific example and I'll explain to you what he's doing. There are many reasons for doing that, and it also depends on the opponent and their habits. So with this 'flaw', how many times has he been countered? You don't understand boxing on the level of Lomachenko, I hate to break that to you.
The only time Lomachenko shows any vulnerability it's to the body.

 

DonnyMo knows. I would favour Lomachenko over Garcia although recognise Mikey has the ability to sleep him if given the opportunity. Thread needs poll although I expect it would be skewed in Loma's favour this close after Sosa fight.

 

I can respect the fact that he knows his weight limitations. Nothing wrong with that, Brook and Khan should've known thiers. Loma is smart and he knows that he can fight at 135 with no problem. Some people act like they know him better than he knows himself and have never even met the man.

 

I think @135 this will be a very interesting fight one I wouldn't even begin to know how to call.
Loma is the better skilled, Garcia is skilled as well not to detract from him at all but his advantage in this fight will be his strength. Yes they are the same height but Garcia is clearly the stronger and will be much heavier on fight night.

Could go either way and I think it has the makings of an absolute war
