Lomachenko: Garcia went out for Spence fight because of check

The WBA and WBO Lightweight Champion Vasyl Lomachenko shared his impressions of the recent bout between Mikey Garcia and Errol Spence, in which the first one lost by unanimous decision. The Ukrainian criticized Garcia, however, noting that he was still interested in meeting him.

“I don’t think that I was the only one who predicted the defeat of Mikey. Not for nothing they came up with weight categories. Garcia wanted to prove something to someone. Plus, probably, he was offered a good purse and he agreed. This fight did not surprise, he showed nothing. I expected a little more from Mikey. But he did not come out to win, he went out because of check and wanted to fight all twelve rounds. I did not like his performance. What happened should have happened,” Lomachenko said.

“Anyway, the fight with him is still interesting to me. It did not work out for him in another category, but in his division he has a class, and he is still the WBC lightweight champion. If he stays in our division, then meeting with him is more than real,” said Lomachenko.
