Mikey Garcia is making a return after 2 years out of the ring battling with his former promoter Top Rank. He will be fighting on July 30th against Elijo Rojas, a former featherweight moving (being forced) up to lightweight. Rojas has not fought since 2014 either so I guess it's a fair fight, right? Where is the hate for Mikey like there was/is for Andre Ward? Ward came back and fought the mando for Kovalev so that it would not look like favoritism for him to get a title shot against the LHW champ. Garcia is already talking about fighting Lomachenko, Crawford and anyone with a belt. Even Floyd Mayweather fought a couple of times after retirement before getting a title shot. I'm happy for Mikey and his new situation with Haymon. I'm mad at guys who claim to be fair and unbiased not giving grief or love to guys equally. Another case for BWB. (Next thread we will discuss why Pacquiao vs Broner or Garcia are great fights for him but cherry pick for Mayweather.)
Glad Mikey isn't getting hated on but we know Ward gets hate because people are racist. Looking forward to Mikey's return.
