When Mikey Garcia returns to action on October 16 against Sandor Martin at Chukchansi Park in Fresno, California, the undercard will feature not one, but two light flyweight world title bouts.
WBO 108lb king Elwin Soto (19-1 13 KOs) puts his crown on the line against Jonathan Gonzalez (22-3-1 13 KOs) and WBA 108lb ruler Esteban Bermudez (14-3-2 10 KOs) defends his strap against Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez (13-0 9 KOs).
Tickets go on sale tomorrow (September 17). DAZN will televise worldwide.
They were attempting to make Soto-Kyoguchi, I thought, but they both got ordered to make mandatories. And here Soto is fighting on the same card as Kyoguchi’s mandatory, Bermudez. Maybe they will end up fighting, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Rodriguez beats Bermudez.
Garcia a total blown career how long was he idle in his prime almost 3 years. Now he has been off another year and a half and comes back to fight a nobody. Plus stepping up to fight Spence a fight he had no chance.
hats off to him for trying to take on spence but that was embarrassing. He thought he could do a Pacman and take on bigger guys. Fail!
I wouldn’t pay to see these fights and I’m from Fresno. Very disappointing but normal for Mikey Garcia.
Mikey should just retire. I think he gets beaten handily by any of the top guys at 140 or 147 as he’s just not really into it anymore. Waste of time fights like this prove my point.
I don’t get it. Why Mikey is not fighting Regis Prograis ? If he wants to reinstate himself as a contender he needs to fight someone that will show the fans that is still a top level fighter. Does Sandor Martin even has a pulse ?
