FSN 8/14 (spoilers)

Ji Hoon Kim proved to be the limited fighter we all knew he was but it kind of shows how piss poor the LW division is right now that it was a title fight.

The star of the show was Mikey Garcia though ... kid completely dismantled a tough veteran in Corny Lock. I like this kid a lot.

Mike-
I was about to post a note on Mikey Garcia. Lock loses his biggest fights, but he's a tough cookie and experienced. I was really impressed. I will say one thing positive about Top Rank, and that's that unlike some of the other outfits (Hello, Gary Shaw), I actually feel good that Arum is in control of his career and that should guard against getting the Cart in front of the Horse with this kid.

Let's just hope Arum has enough BW's for him to fight against ... after Arum's flat out refusal to allow Montiel or Donaire to participate in showtimes super six I can't see him letting any of his guys fight anyone outside his stable.

This seems to be a new pattern for Arum. I wonder if Dana White is advising him.

Mike-
Garcia is a Feather, but knowing Bob then I'm sure he'll probably want to be searching around in the Bantams if he's going to want to use him against non-Top Rank guys, hell, he's probably looking right now among faded Jr Bantams and Flys for guys who even in they're prime were too small for Garcia to be facing (but will anyway lol). About the only Top Rank Feather of note/risk that I can see him risking against Garcia in 2011, MIGHT be Bernabe Concepcion. I'm sure Bob would see that as PPV Vehicle
