I think Mikey will have a tough fight with Easter.

Post by apollo creed »

Easter as tall he is for his weight class looked in good shape. Mikey looked drained and uncomfortable. Also I have the feeling Easter is gonna use his range more in this fight and try to keep Mikey at bay.

I don't think so, Mikey is a level above Easter. Anyway, we will see soon.

It may sound crazy but I see Easter as a step up for Mickey / vice versa for Easter.

Extremely confident Gacria will knock Easter out.

Easter has regressed I every fight I've seen him in and I thought Fortuna beat him last time out.

Someone of Easters ability should not be having difficulties with Fortuna and Mikey is numerous levels above.

Easter should be at 140 but because he has a belt he continues to fight at a weight which does not suit him.

I really think that it will be " a piece of cake" for MG.

pretty much this, easter seems to have gone backward, maybe the level of mikey will force him to fight a smarter fight though, well see, i also thought fortune beat him

If Easter actually uses his height and reach advantage for a change, then Garcia will just have to track him down.

He's talented enough to do that successfully.

And if Easter is crazy enough to remain inside with Garcia, then he'll take a pummeling.

Either way Garcia wins convincingly. Easter has a paper title. Mikey Garcia is a true champion.

Looks an akward fight with height .Think it is a closer fight then most are expecting. Going Mikey still.but won't class it a major shock if draw

Many books now list Garcia as a lopsided 1-14 favorite to wallop Easter tonight.

Again, Easter's chances to win tonight are minimal (under 2%). This is my opinion, right or wrong, it will be known soon.

Easter fights with zero brain cells. That is why Garcia will win.

I've said that Easter isn't an intelligent fighter because he always neglects his massive advantages in height and reach.

Any thoughts how Cunningham's presence might benefit Easter?

You may be right. You never know when 2 guys step in the ring who might just turn in the performance of their lives. Downtown LA is Garcia country so Easter is gonna have to be at his absolute best to get a decision and I dont see a KO as a realistic option for Easter.
