I know it's easy to say from the outside looking in, but who isn't Campbell using the angles more... Whenever he steps outside his left leg he doesn't like it at all
Garcia needs a lot of work before going in front of Gervonta Davis, and I don't fancy him against Teofimo Lopez either. Not quite sure how I'd feel about Devin Haney.
Garcia looks exciting - but celebrating that win as if he'd solved world hunger?! I get he has a huge social media following but this is going to be unbearable until such time as he either falls from grace or confirms his status as a unified undisputed world champion (at which point... well, it's all fair enough).

He won't fight Haney yet either... He has just fought for a mandatory and won and is calling out Tank as he knows he wont get that fight... Which is unfortunate as I think the haney fight is interesting (and I reckon he probably wins). Tank knocks him out inside 5 and teo plays with him and it isn't even close. He has extremely fast hands and has proven himself to be up there, but I really don't think his footwork is good enough to mix it with the top of the division
Garcia called out Davis after the fight, and his promoter De la Hoya said he "walks through the tank".
Might actually be a good think for Garcia to fight him and take a bit of beating. Would bring him down a peg or two and might help him to refocus on his all round game.
Guessing he thinks with his speed he could beat an aging pacqiao relatively comfortably and that it would give him more clout in negotiations with Tank?
Garcia is box office, and he's not someone who hides so for me this is interesting. Be good to see the likes of Haney, Tank and Lopez all fight each other, it's one of the most exciting divisions for a while
Have they confirmed the weight for the fight? when it was rumoured last month I couldn’t work out what weight would be agreeable.
Garcia isn’t the biggest lightweight. Manny spent the end of his career up at welter.
I would guess it will be at 147 as I can’t see an old Pacquiao dropping divisions but who knows how Garcia looks with nearly an extra stone on him. He won’t want to lose the speed he has.
He should be beating Pacquiao relatively comfortably, and with the draw that both fighters have no doubt it will be a good payday for Garcia. Garcia is used to fighting 135s and Manny 147 so its a big gap, not sure how that would work. Don't think its been formally agreed as of yet, but sounds like it'd be at 147 if it happens:
In other news, Canelo has signed a 2 fight deal with DAZN/Matchroom. He's already fighting Yildrim as one of the fights.. which is his mandatory. Maybe fighting BJS in the second?
I think Garcia is rolling the dice here, Manny properly dealt with a fighter I rate highly in Keith Thurman and I wasn't as impressed with Garcia to think he was ready for Manny

Tank would fuck him up
Dazn really need to sort that commentary out going forward. I would have got a fairer analysis in Garcia's mum's front room.

Annoying little twat

Very strange match-up, and I would take Manny to beat him at 140+
Already doing the rounds...
