When Lopez and Lomachenko were putting on a show inside the ring, Garcia turned to social media and gave his opinion over the fight.

After the fight, Garcia claimed that the lightweight division still has a lot of unanswered questions. Both Garcia and Lopez are undefeated and have become world champions now. Hence, a fight between them makes sense.

“I got my fight against Luke Campbell, but I would love to fight [Teofimo] Lopez. There [are] still a lot of unanswered questions in this lightweight division,” Gracia wrote on his Twitter.
