Let's discuss Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Mikey Garcia since that seems to be the next big fight at the lower weight classes that CAN and WILL happen.

Who do you have and why?


Mikey Garcia. I think Mikey is more talented, shows amazing skills for his age and can adapt well to his opponents. He can definitely out-box Gamboa, but Gamboa definitely has the edge when it comes to power and Mikey's chin is untested for the most part.

I still pick Garcia to win be decision.


Yeah, I pick Garcia. He is def more talented and has very solid power. He has very high ring IQ and can adapt as you said. However, I think the wild card in this fight is Gamboa's recklessness, speed, and agression. We haven't seen Garcia faced with that (mainly because he controls his opponents so well) but I think Gamboa just has a mean machine in his soul and he has no problem getting violent and dirty. It will be interesting to see how Garcia reacts.
