Vasyl Lomachenko and Mikey Garcia, who should be on a collision course to stage the most compelling boxing match under 147 pounds in the near future, met each other for the first time Thursday.
They were in separate rooms at ESPN offices in Los Angeles until Garcia, the unbeaten World Boxing Council lightweight champion, walked down the hallway to greet Lomachenko, the World Boxing Organization super-featherweight champion.
After Garcia’s victory by unanimous decision over former four-division world champion Adrien Broner on Saturday on Showtime, both fighters are members of the top-five pound-for-pound list.
Garcia extended his right hand and said, “How you doing, champ? Best of luck to you.” Lomachenko defends his belt against Miguel Marriaga on Saturday night at 7 on ESPN.
As the pair posed for photos, Lomachenko manager Egis Klimas noted that a potential showdown between the fighters would be “perfect sizing.”
“I’m a former featherweight,” Garcia reminded. “I moved up for Broner [at 140 pounds], but I’m not that big. I’m small for 140. I want to come down to lightweight.
“And he’s got to move up to lightweight [135 pounds] and then we have a fight. That’s what the fans are asking for. Let’s give them that.”
Lomachenko agreed. “Boxing needs this fight.”
Klimas asked if it should be on pay-per-view, part of a strategy he has to have Lomachenko fight a 135-pound debut bout later this year to set up a date next summer with Garcia (37-0, 30 knockouts), who also has interest in fighting the Jorge Linares-Luke Campbell winner following their Sept. 23 lightweight title bout at the Forum.
“This fight could be on pay-per-view because all the fans have been asking about it,” Garcia said, later expressing openness to fighting on whatever network offers the best financial package. “We’re the main names. No other names can generate that kind of attention. Whenever they’re ready … .”

Garcia said he appreciates Lomachenko as “a tremendous fighter,” and may attend his Saturday bout.
But Lomachenko paused at lavish praise for Garcia, saying he thought the three-division champion from Riverside looked “very slow, sorry Mikey … you wanted the knockout.”
Garcia said the focus was to show punching strength, then box.
They both said they can feel the momentum building for their own bout.
“This is the fight to be made. No other fight creates as much attention and buzz. I’m more than happy to work at it,” Garcia said.
Said Lomachenko: “I’ve waited for the top fighters, and this is Mikey. It will be a great fight.”

Love these guys. Friendly, professional and respectful. Class!
This is the fight we want
Not no more
Mikey Garcia is well spoken and courteous. I like him.
I would pay for ths fight👌👌
This would def be a good ppv fight n I would def stream this fight...for free of course
Everyone wants this fight.
Here in Central America we get them 4 free!
ye ah me too
It's coming!
Loma is a real ass dude.He didn't sugar-coat anything lol.
maybe you understain nothing in boxing
Ukrainec calling a guy an idiot yet can't even properly spell lol talk about irony.
why would he is not like Mikey gone hit him right there you can see loma scared in his eyes got no choice but to man up when a killer is in front of you
AntiSocail214TEXAS, it was a joke, because Mikey dropped Showtime's name like 20 times after the Broner fight.
u mean ukrainian? im dead ass... haha
I like how they talked with each other in a humble way,very humble fighters,take advices from each other and never misinterprets those advices as boastful statements
Love this man. Lot of respect for each other.
I respect Loma, for sticking to his original opinion..for slow fight mikey
I would have respected him if he had accepted Mikey's challenge and not chicken out of it. Already backed out.
loma never chicken out
Hyena laughing matter.. Well at least we know Mikey had the balls to challenge him in his face. Loma's promoter already backed him down claiming Mikey is not a big enough name, and then they took on a guy named Marriaga.
MrTachyon3000 when u have two super stars in boxing the best thing u can do as promoters/coaches is to wait untill both their stocks are at their highest before fighting. I hope ur not one of those who thinks one is ducking the other. That would be really ignorant of you.
The Mysterious.. I agree with you on that one. But the fact is there has been dishonesty by the part of Loma's side. His promoter stated Mikey is not a big enough name and we know Mikey has been around for a while and is as big a name as Marriaga. Why not just say they will eventually face him, but they want to develop Loma some more.
The more I hear lomachenko talk, the more I like him
I love how Loma say "No pwroblem" lol. He really means that
Love the respect shown by two classy fighters
I'll buy that pay-per-view .
Can't lie, seeing them standing next to each other really makes me wanna see this fight get made now. Whatever they have to do, this fight has GOTTA happen now! *CLASSIC* boxer, puncher matchup
Amazing! Great fighters ! I would love to watch them fight!
I love both these class act fighters!
Both are gifted talents!
Love them both.
Hope the fight happens soon!
Unless it did already and I misst it?.?
Two intelligent and class athletes, the skills of those 2 will sell the fight and a true boxing fans will watch this... iditos are hyped about Flomo vs McGoat.
Mikey pulled up like wasup IM HERE!!
Good sportsmanship by both fighters.
2 perfect figures for the sport. Its a win win situation for both. GREAT FIGHT #boxing lives on
Garcia and Lomachenko are Great sportsmen for the Sport.
Mikey Garcia is a FUKN Hogg, love that guy. That's an interesting matchup...so much skill blessing the ring. I would buy that shit in a heart beat
Garcia on camera - I think I'm going to brawl with Lomachenko.
LOMACHENKO ON CAMERA - He is slow and he gets tired.
FACE TO FACE - GARCIA - Lomachenko has skills
FACE TO FACE - LOMACHENKO -
You look slow. You throw one punch...
Luis Solis No I expected him to do absolutely nothing. He is all bark no bite. Lomachenko going to take him to hi-tech university. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
SHOOREEK FOOKS Loma struggled with Mikeys left over Salido. Mikey will KO this hype job easily
juan alvarez He is too slow. He won't be able to touch him and he will get tired and humiliated.
SHOOREEK FOOKS but Salido humiliated Loma and Mikey beat Salido. You can't hype up Loma and pretend like he never lost to Salido 😂😂😂
SHOOREEK FOOKS Salido staggered Loma with a hard uppercut. He kept the pressure on Loma with a hundred body punches. Loma had no answer. Mikey got dropped but he got up and won by KO. Mikey stepped to Lomas face and called him out. Now it's up to Loma to accept. If he's confident than he needs to make the fight and stop making excuses
This fight would be LIT!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Make the fight happen!!! Mikey all the way!
dont remove your comment after mikey get fucked up :)))
right back atcha buddy
Sorry Oscar but I just went over Garcia vs Bronner and just watched Lomachenko shut down Rigo (4th fighter in a row that quit). Nobody is in the same league as Loma. It's like betting against Roy Jones in the 90's. No Mas!
Joshuah Joseph Lomachenko has defeated Mikey’s left overs . Everybody knew Rigo was small and older, it was his IQ and power in boxing that made it interesting . Mikey isn’t small isn’t old, prime fighter .
Edgar Bahena my two eyes showed me all I need to see about Garcia and he is not the same caliber of fighter.
Hek yea i would pay for this fight🙌🏽loma is badass and mikey
I love the behavior of these fighters.
Two great boxers. Very respectful of one another!
Two great and fearless boxers of our time, well mannered and respectful.
Such classy guys !
Both of them seem like class acts.
my respect for Mikey has grown do much...always been a fan of has
This is great for boxing
Mikey looks bigger for sure, but let's see it. Loma needs to silence the haters by taking on a top ten fighter
Tao of Boxing he's said from day 1 that he wants this fight.
what's funny is, when the hell is the last time in boxing you saw someone as small as lomachenko take on someone with garcias size difference, he looks literally twice the size, look at their heads lol. I think loma wins it, but the size difference is massive regardless of the weight on the scales. All this dehydrating nonsense hopefully one day will be gone
Lomachenko was a few days away from having to weigh in for a fight at 130, Garcia said he was 146 for the fight on Saturday and has probably gained a little since then even. I'm sure Mikey is probably bigger naturally but of course it's gonna be more exaggerated here, he's not really that much bigger
hes not really that much bigger? bro you dont put weight on your skull, the face may draw in but that does not change the bone structure. Mikeys head is twice the size lol, lomachenko may be cutting calories for weight but that does not change the bones. Mikey has probably always cut a ton of water, its the only explanation.
Loma already has 4 official ranked top10 fighters from 126-130 on his resume .
Приятно посмотреть на двоих чемпионов рядом! Культурные парни, отличное уважение друг к другу - хотя в ринге Майки просто монстр, а Вася супертехнарь1
Damn. I would love to see this fight but at the same time I really don't. I really adore both fighters and to see one of them lose would be devastating.
would be a great fight between these two warriors!!! the sport needs this!!
Garcia: "you need to move up to lightweight"
Loma: " no problem".
These guys clearly want each other. That's fantastic.
Loma: "this is great fight for boxing."
Great business move for both. Loma has more to lose IMO bc he has that shitty SD loss to salido. Mikey can rebound from a loss. All in all this is great news.
loma kept it real. they are both really chill guys
These two guys right here is what boxing is all about. Respect, skill, and being a true warrior.
I,like mikey man he pulled up on cuz n yes it should be ppv
king king it was clearly setup dude. The talk wasn't but if you think Mikey just rolled in there like a boss without them knowing your crazy.
In an interview earlier Mikey said he was gonna be in the same studio as Loma and that they would probably run into each other. Not entirely a surprise, but probably not staged either.
Christopher... Not set up. Mikey interrupted Loma's press conference. This did nothing for Loma and he had nothing to gain by setting this up. Loma was discussing with the press other fight he was getting ready for and Mikey tried to make a fight happen with him... Sadly, Loma's promoter already backed out of this challenge. This fight will never happen when Bob Aarum is Lomachenko's promoter.
MrTachyon3000 Bob said he'll be glad to make that fight happen.
True warrior.. Bob is just talking but his actions are the opposite. Should have signed already. We know Mikey is his own boss, and here's what he had to say. "If he wants to move up to 35, we can definitely do that,” Garcia said. “I know Bob won’t say anything positive about that. I don’t even know if [Lomachenko] is actually interested in facing me. The way I know Top Rank works, they’ll have somebody else in line for him to win a title at 35 or maybe even at 40. Most likely, he’s not gonna wanna face me because Bob won’t allow it.”
Best boxers right now!!!
Never been more excited for a fight. Genuinely buzzing. Both fighters are brilliant . Gonna be brutal.
Mikey is such intelligent and open guy! Just love both of them!
This is a really good video. I enjoyed it far more than I thought I would. Hope this great potential fight gets made.
Here's Mikey saying he wants to fight Loma at 135 and that he doesn't feel great at 140, and their size difference is not big. Now Loma is at 135 and Mikey says he's staying at 140 and Loma is too small for him. Hmmmmmm...
Now 147... Thought he was small for 140... Huh...
Одно удовольствие смотреть на бойцов которые уважают друг друга,вот почему я люблю этот вид спорта!Если будет бой то он будет супер...
0:06 what are u doin here youre a showtime guy! LMAO
Big fan of both of these fighters, this would be an awesome fight to watch. Mikey is super cool dude, I don't know who I'd be rooting for lol
Damn right, I'll pay for this fight! Take my money! Better be the main event, too! There is no other fight at this class.
Respect to both fighters!
Love seeing gentlemen inside and out of the ring.
Lol you were slow Mikey. -loma
jim jones : Hand Speed and Footwork favours Loma but Power, size and reach favours Mickey. Mickey will be the hardest puncher Loma have faced. It's going to be intresting.
+THUNDER GOD the fight pace was slow. thats what he said, not the hand speed
THUNDER GOD idk man nick Walters punched pretty fucking hard and he was hella faster than Mikey is. But i get your point.
THUNDER GOD On point.
Well, if Loma says Mickey was too slow, then even better for his favor to fight Mickey right? But then again, why is Loma fighting can tomatoes with no reputation and is not willing to fight Mickey then? If Mickey is too slow then Lomachenko should take the fight and make easy money. I can tell you Mickey sparred with Manny Pacquiao in the past when he was under Bob Arum, and Manny never beat Mickey. Even Bob Arum knew that. This was the reason Manny and Mickey never fought. Even when Manny was going to fight Mayweather, they called Mickey for sparring sessions and Mickey gave Manny problems. Loma makes this fight happen bitch stop avoiding elite fighters.
Loma is rude, but he is not fake👍
Two gentlemen showing respect for eachother. I'm so pumped for this fight.
Both dudes are the epitome of class and professionalism.
This is definitely The Fight in 2018!!!
Mikey ran up on Lomo like what?, Lomo you have to fight Garcia
he will toying with him
michael smith sounds perfect he fought a smaller guy (rigo) now fighter a bigger guy (Mikey)
Very respectful of each other. They almost seem like friends but i guarantee as soon as that first bell ' dings ' some extraordinary skill of boxing from both guys will be on show.
Great matchup at 135.
Two classy , technical boxers who are the epitome of Professional Boxing.
Loma lowkey geeking out.. Mikey a G for taking time to talk with them
next time they talk in russian ok?
Lol, do u speak ukrainian, russian or polish ? I do ..English not easy language
Lol trust me, if anyone should be geeking out it should be Mikey.
Noe Coronado He called money slow right in his face. Mikey is intimidated.
29slowjoe intimidated? Loma still not trying to fight tho... Fym
You are slow - Loma
Hahahaha he is so honest he can’t beat round the bush
To be fair he was talking about tactics, not actual speed. Early slow was his words, meaning the beginning of the fight, Lomachenko was questioning tactics.
I like the way Mikey carries himself.
Nothing but class
What a demonstration of brotherhood !!! All respects, honors and admiration for each other. Despite all boxing rivalries, we r only humans who have to live like this outside the ring, whatever is the ring. Yet, they should take it to the long waited fight to demonstrate a real good fight unlike those of backpedalling, running away and faking pains. Yes, Mikey n Loma u should fight to prove their limit of talents n to give the fans what they deserve. Gbu, Mikey n Loma.
Василий «Hi-Tech» Ломаченко готов подняться в весовую категорию 135
фунтов и провести поединок в ринге с Майки Гарсия. Теперь свою работу
должны сделать промоуторы обоих боксеров.
These two are top notch, i would pay to watch this fight. Mikey is probably slower than Loma but hits harder. Can Mikey land a few, of course he will. Thats all i have to say. Loma was like i am sorry you are slow, Mikey in his mind yeah but i beat Salido. Both deserve much respect they have class but they are beasts.
nelq06 mikey is a bit slow but his timing makes up for that. it would be a great fight. mikey is like the tim duncan of boxing. nothing fancy but very fundamentally sound. i can see a trilogy between them and even becoming great friends after like gatti/ward
lostit Right on point. I will still favor Loma but I am I wonder if Loma recognizes Mikey's excellent timing and power. Loma is way faster than Mikey but it doesn't make Mikey a slow fighter. He is more patient than slow. As we saw Mikey's timing, power and patience topped Broner's skills and speed. It should be a great match up. Loma is honest which is a good thing but I hope he doesn't underestimate Mikey. Mikey has the best fundamentals I have seen in a long time and I have watched boxing since the late 80s. Great match up. It should be an exciting fight.
Mikey looks bigger and stronger. Don't think loma can hurt mikey so i think mikey walks him down. Maybe no ko but a clear decision for Garcia. Peace n smoke.
Two good fighters, also it appears that they are both very disciplined and prefer the high road.
Both humble gentlemen with huge boxing skills
My two favorite Boxers!! This fight has to happen...
Гарсия норм чувак, видно что порядочный. В отличии от Ригондо. Бой был бы шикарный.
"His heads too small" -Mikey Garcia
2 great dudes, 2 great fighters.
ATTITUDES on these 2 is just so pristine.
this would be a fucking massive fight
Нужно отдать должное отцу Василия, за то что воспитал спортсмена и человека с большой буквы. Всегда уважал и буду уважать здоровое спортивное соперничество, открытость во всем, уважение к сопернику.
IF LOMA WINS = HE'S THE MAN
IF MIKEY WINS= HE BEAT A SMALLER DUDE. ..STILL WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT THOUGH.
surcaliman1 but mikey has also beating a bigger man he was in that position to so no excuses
reverse is true for Loma Rigo, there will be excuses when Loma beats Rigo
ESNEWS Is Loma looking down on Mikey? Loma has way better skills but Mikey's power, fundamental and patience (not necessarily slowness) will make it an exciting fight. May the better man win. Great match up.
loma will toy with mikey you will see
loma has been fighting smaller guys you know
Great match up two smart men, taking their profession seriously. Broner has to redeem himself asap.
two humble men. great sportsmanship. role models bigtime. brilliant for sport , not alone boxing.
Man I love Mikey. classiest guy in the sport. Hands down.
I would pay 90$ for this fight no that fraud shit that mayweather is giving us.
MrDogger87 god damn right. Well I wouldn't pay 90 but I'd def pay for this. All the shit talkers can shut up now bc these two clearly want it. This video basically guarantees this fight is gonna happen. Mikey recognizes that lomachenko is rocketing in popularity and made a smart decision. Win or lose he will make great money off this and 1 loss won't kill his career. If he loses. I'm favoring lomachenko bc he's absolutely brilliant in the ring but you can't knock Mikey's power or his fundamentals. I just feel he's a little basic in style and slow in comparison to lomachenko. This is a defining fight for both of these guys.
MrDogger87 you Idiots can't go a day without thinking about Floyd lol Floyd is a puppet master he makes you clowns do what he wants
are you a AB fan too? lol mad cause the boxer got outboxed?
MrDogger87 Mcgregor giving us the fight too not just mayweather
Dude ikr 150$$ for that bs .i mean I paid for may pac but it had great undercards.but cmon mc tapout has no chance and I'm not a mayweather fan
When the Russian tells you you're too slow, you say thank you.
These guys are what I call champs much respect to both of them
my top two favorite fighters
I said it when this video came out. Rigo first, then Mickey. He just beat Rigo now Loma needs to move up to 135lb and fight Mickey and catch Gervonte Davis up there as well. This guy's future looks great. To think he still has a good 6 years left before he starts going downhill makes me believe we're about to see a lot of great fights out of Lomachenko
Now only 4 years😔.I really wish he started earlier
Vasily Hi-Tech Lomachenko is ready to rise to the weight category of 135 pounds and hold a duel in the ring with Mikey Garcia. Now the promoters of both boxers should do their work.
Two of the best in the world. Nice guys too.. genuine.. very rare to see these days..
I'd love to see this fight happen! Respect from both fighters here - True Gents! The way it should be ☺
Mickey rolled on Lomachenko like a Bo$$
let's see this!
Garcia: "You gotta move up"
Loma: Insta " NO PROBLEM "
Respect to both these fighters class acts!!
please make this fight Showtime and ESPN...
Mikey got this
Id buy this PPV. Brilliant fight.
This is the fight ive been waiting for 😍
With good promotion a good.undercard ill pay
These 2 and Spence. Top 3 p4p. So good to see 2 great and respectful fighters ready to fight each other. This is the real deal. I hope we get to see these 2 fight each other a few times. Will be very close. I can’t call it, but if I had to, Loma very close split decision in the first fight. Only because I think it would take at least 6 rounds for Mikey to adjust to Loma’s speed and timing, and by then it would be to much to pull the rounds back.
Philip Newland MAN...!!! How in The Hell is Either 1 of these Guys Better than Terrence Crawford.??
Are you Crazy..??
They may be Top 10.. But definitely Not Top 3.. No Great Resumes nor Big Wins where they were the underdogs...
And if you think either of these Guys Can Beat "Bud,
You're insane
Eli Harris Yeah l cant disagree with that. I completely forgot about Crawford. He has the weight advantage on both Mikey and Loma so would probably win against both. But only just. Big shame Terrance doesn’t have a better promoter, he should be a superstar really. But it just goes to show (considering the belts he has) how widely unheard of he is by the casual fan. I think this is a better ‘fight’ in my opinion than watching Crawford marginally win a points decision over one of these 2. Crawford should fight Linares. That would be a great way to see how he would cope with someone slick in the Lightweight division. I still don’t believe he has faced anyone truely world class yet.
Both are class boxers and very good gentlemen.
Real Sportsmen. Maximum Respect. Very Inspiring.
Hell yah make this shit happen, 135 and we got a real fight.
I would rather see Rigondiex vs loma first then Mikey.
grapedrank666 , Yup!!
i agree get small boy rigo out the way then move onto the bid dog mikey
grapedrank666 - Rigo hasn't done anything in 4 years. If he wants to fight the big boys, maybe he should put himself in position. Instead he'll continue fighting 50th ranked 122 pounders once a year.
rigo is bum
I agree !
If only the fans would respect each other like these two fighters respect each other.
