I hope TR doesn't listen to opinions like this, streaming is clearly the future. They want to reach new fans too who usually don't sit in front of the TV anymore but sit in front of computer/laptop/console instead so why not provide them a high quality stream which is incorporated in a subscription model which seems to be working today?
I knew Mikey wouldn't fight Easter
But on Tuesday it was revealed that Linares (44-3, 27 KOs) reached an agreement to defend his WBA belt against Vasyl Lomachenko (10-1, 8 KOs) on May 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The bout will headline a card televised on ESPN.
The recent turns of events may influence Garcia to remain at 140-pounds, according to his older brother and head trainer, Robert Garcia.
The elder Garcia believes that there are a lot more opportunities at junior welterweight.
"Right now it is most likely that he will remain at 140 pounds. It was his [second] fight [at the weight] and he looked good. He took some risks on some occasions and he was hit, but we were surprised by just how well he did at the weight. I think at 140 he's very strong, and we will see what happens," Robert Garcia told ESPN Deportes.
"On Saturday, Kiryl Relikh was also crowned as a world champion. And this Saturday José Ramírez or Amir Imam will win [the WBC titlte]. The good thing is, that there are possibilities and we could even move up to welterweight if a good opportunity comes up.... you know that Mikey likes those strong challenges."

So many dope fights getting made out of nowhere. Vargas vs AB, Lara vs hurd. Loma vs linares. Stevenson Vs jack. We got canelo-little g 2 coming. Charlo and Jacobs tryin to run it in the near future. Seems like we're actually settling into another golden age. Yea there might not be extraordinary talent at the top. But in each division there's just so many good ass fighters with different styles....its gonna make for some great fights. This is a time where triangle theories really aint gonna mean shyt. I love boxing

Bc when you go from shouting names like "i want Loma. I want Easter.", but you instead end up going after lesser ranked fighters like Lipinets, Relikh, & Imam....its a let down.

Streaming sucks? Showtime app was a life saver...I was out all night. How I was able to see the Mikey Garcia and Wilder/Ortiz fight in perfect crystal HD. No hiccups on my side. I love mobile boxing

Judging by Easter's last performance, Mikey would beat the sh!t out of Easter.
Judging by Lipinets last performance, yall said the same thing. It didn't happen. It was actually a good fight....and Easter is better than Lipinets as well as physically more imposing at 135 than Lipinets is at 140 (Easter is 5'11 with a 76 inch reach vs Lipinets at 5'7 with a 67 inch reach). Facts only
Also, yall still using your own predictions in order to dismiss top tier unification bouts? That's what we doing in 2018?
Well, for example, we already know Loma is gonna beat the hell outta Linares (judging by Linares last performance vs Luke Campbell and the fact he's already been beat multiple times by lesser opposition)....I guess Loma shouldn't fight him either and just be awarded the win & the WBC Lightweight belt today then
Judging by Lipinets last performance, yall said the same thing. It didn't happen.

Fair enough.

Naw, I don't have a problem with them fighting at all. I just know you're a Easter stan and you want to see that fight cuz you think Easter will get him. But I think we both know that won't be the case.

inches doesn't matter here, Easter is taller and longer than anyone in his weightclass and even one or maybe two above but he can't use it for shyt. He couldn't get ahead with it against Shafikov, Commey or Fortuna he also woouldn't get ahead with it against Mikey.Judging by Lipinets last performance, yall said the same thing. It didn't happen.

Mikey vs Lipinets was a better fight than expected, Lipinets fought smarter than expected and didn't get KTFO but overall he won like 2-3 rounds top and that's it, while Easter had his shyt pushed seriously by Fortuna so much that the result was debatable too.
Easter is just not on that level, I don't understand why you see him beating Mikey.
Mikey vs Easter would be still a good fight if not for anything else then because it's a unification but there is no huge demand for it tbh, Mikey could just fight some of those 140 guys and they wouldn't be necessarily worse opponents than Easter.
Give me Mikey vs Loma though that's what I want to see but sadly it seems like Mikey doesn't really think about it, idk why
Fair enough.
Naw, I don't have a problem with them fighting at all. I just know you're a Easter stan and you want to see that fight cuz you think Easter will get him. But I think we both know that won't be the case.
Nope. I have no problem in sacrificing my fighters.....except AB to Prograis
Other than that, Ima fan of Boxing before any Boxer and only want the top fighters to fight the top fighters when the fight is something that can be done
Easter wouldn't be the favorite over Mikey Garcia, and rightfully so. However, Mikey Garcia vs Robert Easter Jr in a unification bout is > any bout Mikey Garcia has available to him currently at 140 (a match vs Ivan Baranchyk or Relikh in a unification)...especially considering Mikey Garcia claimed he would fight Easter at 135 and I maintained the entire time that he wouldn't
