On Saturday night, former WBO featherweight champion Mikey Garcia (32-0, 27 KO’s) produced another impressive performance in dispatching former two-division titlist Juan Manuel Lopez (33-3, 30 KO’s) inside of four rounds at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
Garcia, despite losing his title on the scales one day prior for coming in two pounds over the featherweight limit, was sharp throughout the contest. A crisp right hand dropped Lopez in the second and a sweeping left hook finished him off two rounds later.
There is confusion as to whether Garcia will move up to 130 pounds or if he will try to squeeze himself down to 126 pounds yet again, as he suggested to HBO’s Max Kellerman during their post-fight discussion.

On Saturday night, from Radio City Music Hall in New York, two-time Cuban gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux captured his biggest victory as a professional with a commanding unanimous decision victory over Nonito Donaire in a junior featherweight unification bout.
Showing deft movement, superior angles, and sharp punching throughout the contest, Rigondeaux proved himself to be the superior fighter as he added the WBO bauble alongside his WBA belt following the announcement of scorecards in his favor reading 116-111, 115-112, and 114-113.
One curious spectator taking in the action was reigning WBO featherweight titlist Mikey Garcia, whose older brother Robert assists Donaire in training.

Still less than two months removed from the biggest victory of his career and WBO featherweight champion Mikey Garcia already seems to be eager for another big fight.
On January 19th in New York, Garcia was scintillating as he dropped then champion Orlando Salido four times on his way towards a technical decision victory after eight heats. The fight went to the scorecards early, as a ringside physician deemed that a broken nose from Garcia courtesy of an accidental head butt from Salido left him in no shape to continue.
I caught up with Garcia recently to discuss some action taking place near his weight class, including his thoughts on matches with Juan Manuel Lopez and Yuriorkis Gamboa in particular.
