Former four-weight World king Mikey Garcia (39-1 30 KOs) has signed with Matchroom Boxing USA and will return to action on February 29, 2020 – with an opponent and venue to be announced soon. Garcia, who turned 32 today (December 15), will step back into the ring for the first time since moving up two-weights in March to face Welterweight ruler Errol Spence in a bid to win world honors at a fifth weight. The arrangement is said to be a one-fight deal.

Good luck Mikey. Great choice in promotions. Let’s see who they throw at him. Maybe a quick tune up and then back at it.
I heard Jessie Vargas
That wld be an interesting matchup. Didnt Vargas work with Garcia in camp. Hmmmm owell. It shld still be damn good.
Jessie Vargas moved up to 154. No way is he next for Mikey.
Espn is reporting this is a 1 fight deal … with Hearn getting the opportunity to match any other non match room fight deal in fight 2 .:: sounds like a nfl football deal to me …Guess that’s leave the door open for Garcia to return to PBC if he wants
Garcia needs to fight at 140. He can’t fight 147. Maybe Loma will come up.
No way. Loma is too small to be at 135 let alone 140
I agree in part. But Mikey is a 135lb guy and didn’t look like he put on any muscle for the Spence fight. If Loma is P4P best the extra weight (5lbs) shouldn’t pose a problem for him. I believe Mikey started at 126 so it wouldn’t be a huge mismatch. If your talking in terms of P4P.
Garcia is not a welterweight. With the right training discipline I think he can make 140 with not much sacrifices, and at this weight is where he has some mega fights on hand. Regis Prograis and Josh Taylor are two of them, IMO both can defeat Mikey though.
Garcia has exceptional basic solid skills as a fighter. I enjoy watching his footwork, defense, and counters. I can honestly say that loss by Spence really took nothing away from his resume. Garcia still has plenty of tools and weaponry left in the tank to get back on top.
One fight deal? Could Josh Taylor be the opponent that Eddie Hearn is working on? I’m trying to think of marquee fighters at 140 or 47 that fight on DAZN. Pacquiao is a free agent and he hasn’t ruled out fighting on any specific network for a one fight deal, so it could be him next. In my opinion, I believe both Taylor and Pacquiao decisively beat Garcia. Each fighter has the type of movement and footwork that keeps Mikey from getting set to throw, and of course each guy’s offense is enough to defeat Mikey.
