Tough fight to call. I might go Mikey, SD with a knockdown being the difference

Prime
Garcia has a pure bred Mexican boxing style about him, he was taught well.
Talking Featherweights though right ?
I remember seeing Mikey way back when he was coming up, he was good, got to 31-0 and beat Lopez as a Featherweight, had two fights and disappeared for a year and a half.
That hurt his career in terms of not seeing him enough during his prime.
More recently[since 2017]he's been active and fighting names, never been stopped in 41 straight fights and only has a single defeat.
Hamed was wild during his Featherweight reign and had among the most unpredictable of styles, you really had to pay attention to him like Barrera did.
However a prime Hamed v Garcia, I'd lean towards Hamed by decision if he's firing on all cylinders.
