By Dan Ambrose: #2 WBC Mikey Garcia (35-0, 29 KOs) has what could be the toughest fight of his career against WBC World lightweight champion Dejan Zlaticanin (22-0, 15 KOs) this Saturday night on January 28 on Showtime Boxing from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mikey, 29, has only faced a couple of difficult opponents in his career against Orlando Salido and Roman Martinez.
We don’t know how the Salido fight would have gone because Mikey bowed out of the fight in the 8th after suffering a nose injury. Salido was starting to get to Mikey, and it looked like it was starting to turn around for him.
