Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[Newzz]

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.

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

Im tired of Monday Morning Quarterbacking fights.


It wasn't a "better fight than expected" to me....because I've always said Lipinets is skilled. Yall didn't believe, and then yall push your thoughts towards me. No, Lipinets was always what he was, now yall believe...that's not my fault


And then, Easter is MORE talented than Lipinets AND more physically imposing.


You bringing up Easter vs Fortuna (a former Champ), then bring up Lipinets vs Kondo (a bum)....how did that matter vs Garcia? It didn't. Lipinets was better vs Garcia than he was Kondo. Lie and say he wasn't


And then after realizing that yall can finally stop triangle theory-ing why a fight shouldn't happen.


Regardless, fights aren't won on paper and darn sure not on this message board. Anyone who claims to be a fan of Boxing disgusts me talking down on Mikey Garcia vs Robert Easter Jr in an unification KNOWING that Mikey Garcia only has Ivan Baranchyk & Relikh as the next options for him....and also knowing that Easter has a better resume than Lipinets, Baranchyk, and Relikh

c'mon breh if he wasn't from Ohio but from Texas or anywhere else you would just shrug your shoulders when his name would come up at this point after his last 4 performances. Don't say it as an offense, local patriotism is strong in many ppl, it can happen that it clouds one's statement, maybe not even consciously but that's really what I think here.
I guess you disagree but then explain me what you see in that guy what is so extra in him, I'm legit curious now cause apparently I can't see it
I always just hear from some ppl (fewer and fewer as his career goes on) that he is talented and he has size but the only thing I see is him struggling left and right with opponents who albeit tough guys, should be beaten more convincingly by a guy who is really that talented as some people gassing Easter up to be and not on some "could go either way" shyt.

Actually I'd give Commey a fair shot to beat him on a rematch cause even though he is older than Easter I think he is more likely to improve (become more polished) with Rozier than that Easter until a possible rematch. Easter hasn't shown much if any improvement to me since his last few fights.

He seems like a good kid, personally I don't have anything against him I just think he ain't all that.

My focus here are not the other guys or who has the better resume but Easter and what you see in him what I don't that's pretty much it.

Im only talking about Easter bc he's from Ohio....not because he's an undefeated Champion, one of the top 3 lightweights today, with the 2nd best resume at 135 period?


Easter has speed, can crack, strong chin, height, reach, body work, good countering ability, jab is good, with alot of dog in him.


You tell me what current lightweights beat him?

Romanticize TV brehs...

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?

 

[patscorpio]

of all the fights to pick up they pick this one?

 

[aceboon]

So the fight will only be available via an app we gotta pay for? if so that is an L for Crawford, Arum wouldn't do Loma like that.

 

[LeVraiPapi]

Judging by Easter's last performance, Mikey would beat the sh!t out of Easter.

That's what I'm saying. Easter is not even that good. He's in a division where his physique gives him a great edge but he still looks subpar but Newzz always gonna hype anybody from Ohio

 

[krackdagawd]

Not really..that nikka eats junk food lol..he just goes ham on the training...a Chris Algieri he is not

You know better than this. Floyd goes on 24/7 n eats wings and drinks soda meanwhile at home he has a chef making him ostrich eggs or whatever weirdo shyt.

Floyd haters go "he eatings wings n sode he's gonna lose this time "

Floyd opponents go " Wings and sode this finna be a breeze "

and neither are true.

 

[krackdagawd]

If dude is training him for free he must see great potential in him

yeah he has a few div 1 wrestlers he trains so he has programs specifically for him and his style in particular.

 

[Big Boss]

Team Horn talking shyt

Breh....tell me how Im "hyping" someone who is:

1. 1 of the only 2 Champions at 135 (Mikey is vacating)
2. Undefeated
3. Has the 2nd best resume at 135
4. Ranked as the 2nd best Lightweight in the World (not including Mikey) by both RING Magazine and ESPN

How am I hyping him by saying Mikey Garcia should fight him instead of Sergey Lipinets, Ivan Baranchyk, and Relikh bc Easter is higher ranked than them, would be a unification, has a better resume than them, AND he's better than them???


Come on breh

It’s clear Arum messing over Crawford. He also let Pacquiao delay this card and pull out and other shyt.

I find it hilariously the narrative of this fight not selling when...the tickets weren’t even available. How you don’t got an official announcement or tickets available a month out


Even if Crawford did hurt his hand, that’s unacceptable from Top Rank

Blame Arum when Manny being a bytch out here ducking two nikkas with one pullout

You make some quality points


But....Arum is also on record already saying he doesn't know how to market Black fighters. Crawford should've got out when he had the chance. Arum trying to make him into his new Uncle Tim Bradley
