holy **** did anyone catch this? fight of the year so far. Both guys showed amazing hearts and chins, round 9 had me gobsmacked. Puerto rico vs mexico always brings the heat :fire
Mikey garcia was great. Patient, yet deadly when he turns up the heat. Didnt see that gonzalez kid kegs. I watched the toprank free stream under card but i didnt see him.
Mikey was oustanding as always will give anyone at 126 fits. Yeah "Bomba" Gonzalez was unfortunately the swing bout & if 1 of the 2 Showtime Extreme bouts finished early he would have been on. I beleive his fight may have happened after the main event off TV in front of no-one.
Missed the fight but heard it was a good one. Will keep an eye out for it on youtube in the next few days.
Lots of buzz saying Mikey is going to face WBA Titlist Celestino Caballero 1st, with the winner then to face Salido in late 2012 title unification WBA/WBO.
Two great fights. I remember watching "Grandpa" fight years ago and Mikey has the potential to go a whole lot further.
"Grandpa" Garcia sure was a decent titlist, but i agree Mikey could go very far...parts remind me of a young Juan Manuel Marquez.
i haven't been all too impressed with caballero from what I've seen, he looks to be there for the taking imo
