Breh said he looked like the Martin from that Tommie Hearns episodegracious in defeat though, hopefully he can learn from this and not let An L create a downward spiral for his career like a lot of fighters this generation.
brehs cheekbones are so pronounced that hes one of the few ppl that looks exactly the same both before and after a fight

Dudes still hating on canelo. Brook had spence wobbling on a couple right hands. Canelo would get him outta there by the 9th. It's not even about size either. Canelo is just flat out better all around. Especially on the defensive end. Spence would be swinging at air and getting lit up early. Spence would become hesitant to open up then it'll just turn into a clinic until canelo catches him with a bomb. Spence doesn't have the skillset of canelo. Point blank period.
Mikey won cause he whooped Easter’s ass. Ain’t no stealing rounds going on. His face was all fukked up after the fight I was four feet from him.Easter has some skills. He is a good fighter and showed some good things last night, but he doesnt have any wrinkles in his game. This is why I think its only so far a guy's father can take him. He needs to work with other trainers.
He didnt have enough head movement. No feigns. Most of all he didnt move his hands enough in spots. He is either defense or offense. Mikey won because he would tee off on Easter and Easter wouldnt fire back. This led to Mikey stealing a lot of the rounds that Easter had in the bag. When you fight Mikey, you have to come right back with your own shots to keep the output equal and dont let him steal rounds. Also, Mikey got Easter on the ropes but Easter didnt put him on the ropes.
At 27, I can see Easter getting a little better if he learns some things from a great trainer or two.
Mikey a true champ for calling out Spence.thats the absolute worst WW he could choose. Spence will stop Mikey. Quote me on that.
he did whip his ass but you cant tell me he didnt steal some rounds too. look at the fight again. the cards were even after 4 and after that Easter still had some close rounds that he let slip because he just let Mikey outwork him in spots. this wasnt a case of someone being too strong or fast for someone, it was a matter of Easter covering up and letting Mikey tee off without coming back with his own hands. Easter didnt start getting fukked up til the later rounds and languishing on the ropes. when he kept his distance he was fine but just not busy enough.
my point is, there is a difference between beltholders like Easter and someone who is a true champ. Easter is good, but its a whole different fight for Mikey if that's Loma. Loma will initiate AND counter.
also, though it may not apply here, I dont use faces to determine who won a fight.
yeah, aint nothin slick about Easter. very basic. he needs to add a lot more to his game. he needs a better variety of punches. he was moving well, but he doesnt have any offense when he moves. his head movement and punch assortment was lacking.
Spence may not look slick but he isnt as easy to fight as he looks. kinda unortodox and tricky. just because he doesnt look pretty a lot of times doesnt mean he isnt slick in some ways.
I am definitely taking any bets on anyone that wants to take Mikey over Bud.
although I do think Bud is a more winnable fight for Mikey than Spence. I like Buds skills over anybody out there besides Loma but Spence is good at mostly everything and athletically superior to most guys out there.
Okay I thought you were saying Mikey didn’t whoop his ass. Those close rounds Easter basically gave up. Once he felt Mikey’s power he didn’t want anything to do with him, just soft ass flick jabs. That’s how it looked to ME. Although I was in house y’all do have a more up close view than I did. Yea Mikey vs Loma would be a much different fight although I think Mikey KOs Loma. Easter showed a good chin taking all those flush shots. I feel if he didn’t get on his bike the second half of the fight Mikey would have KOed him but oh well.
I don’t judge faces either just saying breh!
this...to a degree but I actually think that's just Easter because he did the same thing before he felt Mikey's power. Nah, he got his ass beat in late rounds. the rounds Mikey won, he clearly won. the rounds Easter won were close. there were other close ones he gave away. Easter is skilled, but he is missing some things in his repertoire.
you think Mikey KO's Loma? really? I dont think Mikey is that big of a hitter against elite level. Easter did some nice body work, but Mikey softened Easter up by going to his body. basically everything Easter did, Mikey did back to him but better. Loma is pretty surgical in there. I am just not a big Mikey fan. he is flawless with technique and balance but an overtaxing offense can shut that down. interesting, but I like Loma in there, mainly because of his movement. Mikey dont like movement and tracking opponents.

How was the whole athmosphere of the fight??
That’s not true.
I was going to mention during the fight that Easter eye was starting to close.
But I thought it was my struggle stream

won't be close at all after two rounds. Spence spars w middleweights n light heavys nikka
I do for one specific reason, and this is barring Mikey being my favorite fighter. Linares who doesn’t punch close to as hard as Mikey does was able to drop Loma bc of a defensive lapse. When Loma starts doing his dancing around and stepping around he drops his hands. Mikey is probably the best counter puncher in boxing, and I can see Loma doing the arm punch assault on Mikey, stepping around and running right into a flush counter left hook. Mikey doesn’t need to land flush on Loma many times to take the wind out of him, and Lomas there to be hit. I also don’t think Mikey will respect Lomas power, as he walked through everything Easter had to offer without budging, same with Lipinets.
