This is because Vargas has been a welterweight for a long time now, and Mikey is a beefed up 130 lbs fighter; though he can’t come close to making 130 anymore, he could still make 140.
Maybe even 135, but carelessness about weight runs in Robert Garcia’s gym. Brandon Rios is the same case.
You’re absolutely right. It’s why Mikey hasn’t got the same power coming up as he always did. He is a smaller man. I personally would prefer he be at 140 since it looks like he can’t make 135 any more. Still a talented fighter but he will not be dominant at 145.
I actually believe Vargas is gonna beat Garcia. He’s still dangerous and he can take a good punch.
Vargas with an upset…
I agree. If Garcia would be the same size in anatomical dimensions, I would say his style would beat Vargas due to Garcia’s sharp counter punching. However, I admire Garcia for his courage and confidence in moving up the scale. His smaller size and lack of “crack” in this weight class will pose problems for him. Vargas has a big heart and always pushes on no matter the circumstances. That being said, Garcia will have his hands full.
I said the same thing when this fight was announced
You may be right. Mikey hasn’t displayed the same power even at 140 that he always carried at 135 . Vargas is the naturally bigger guy and a very good fighter. I like Mikey at 140 where I still see him as a dominant fighter. I believe he made a mistake disagreeing with his Dad and brother going against Spence who had the same great skill set but was bigger , stronger , more powerful.
So I should bet on Jessie?
Mikey has no business at welterweight.
I’m a big Garcia fan…. this kid can fight and comes from an unbelievable boxing heritage and family… I’ll take Mikey in this one….
Then what the hell happened in the Spence fight?!? I was hoping he wouldve put up a better fight than that..I think he’s a great fighter too but lacks the heart of other Mexican warriors ie Barrera, Morales, Marquez etc
