You need to realise... Garcia will be a lot easier for Lomachenko than Linares

    People need to know, Garcia is not as quick as Linares.
    However most importantly, Garcia is a fundamental boxer, he is a fantastic pure boxer with perfect fundamentals, this is ideal for Lomachenko because he fought these sort of guys for 400 fights, Linares was very unorthodox, punches from weird angles + blistering speed. Garcia will be dissected by Lomachenko, you can't beat Loma with a perfect fundamental style.

    I've always said this myself. Mikey is basic, but he's very high level basic. No special effects whatsoever.

    Loma will read him like Dr. Seuss. I actually see Mikey quitting.

    I agree he will be easier in large portions of the fight, but at the same time he will be more dangerous. Loma beating him easier than he did Linares wouldnt suprise me, nor would him getting stopped while being up on the cards, if Mikey is able to find Lomas chin.

    I dont even like thinking about this fight because i think this will be one of the travesties of this era, one of the best fights to not happen. Really, really hope Im wrong.

    I have the same feeling, I doubt it will happen, Mikey will probably not wanna move down to 135 and Loma will definitely not move up, he simply can't

    Mikey Garcia doesnt have that big a reach to trouble Lomachenko. His power is concerning though.

    Mickey isn't as fast and doesn't hit as hard.

    Loma will read him like children's book on how to count.

    Going out on a limb here, but I say Mikey Garcia KO's Loma if the fight ever happens.

    I agree with this. I actually think Davis might be a little tougher for Loma. Garcia is going to be very similar to what Lomachenko saw at the top amateur level. Salido and Linares had some success because they had a very non-amateur style that Loma wasn’t used to seeing.

    I think Gervonta will be easy work, Loma will just jab his face all night long, he hasn't got the footwork to trouble Loma and he is smaller than Loma.

    Yeah, I still agree with that. I just think he beats Mikey even easier.
