Well if they fought at 140, my bad then I was off.
Mikey's first fight back he got touched with a few jabs, but controlled everything to my recollection with the exception of round 3? Or one of them. As soon as he figured out Rojas's plan, he took him out. Zlatican fight was a huge risk, b/c is this huge puncher and Mikey is making a bold move in his 2nd fight back. Controls the fight from the start with jabs and left hooks, takes under 10 clean punches, knocks a dude the fukk out in a KOTY contender, to win a new title at a new weight-class.
Now, the odds are what they are, can't speak on that. To the fight itself. I've always thought the jab is the key to Mikey's success. AB has faster hands, but does not have an advantage in timing, or footwork, although MG may not be as flashy. Motivated or not, AB biggest problem is he can't play offense and defense at the same time. He has good power at 140, but unless he's clearly bigger, or doesn't respect the opps power, he lets off single shots. MG is a great counter puncher, and will get chin checked in this fight, but I think that when Broner stalks he will get left hooked to death.
@#SOG_soldier said Mikey is a slow thinking fighter, while partially true--he has knocked dudes down and out early in the fights. MG also puts a lot of great body work in.....AB will be open for the counter(s). Close fight Garcia takes over in the end and either UD or late KO.
to me
