Mikey Garcia dropping Juan Manuel Lopez in Dallas, Texas Credits: Chris Farina-Top Rank Tweet 0Email Fight Sports newsletter E-mail * do not change Contact Email Contact Email2 Contact Url Subscribe to Blog Remember my Info 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.

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.
As noted above, Garcia's stock took a slight hit when he failed to make the featherweight limit, thus forfeiting the WBO bauble he had worked so hard to get. Garcia won the belt officially this past January with a technical-decision drubbing over Orlando Salido in New York.
Still, at the end of the day, Garcia managed to score another commanding victory and he is looked at as one of the rising stars of the sport.
