I like Robert Easter Jr, but what is up with this narrative lately that he is some kind of World beater that everyone is ducking ??
In his 2 biggest fights, Commey and Shafikov, he didn't dominate them... he struggled with them. the fights could have went either way really, very close fights.
He's a solid fighter but how is he considered all of a sudden this boogieman that Mikey is ducking and everyone in the division is scared to face etc ? It's very strange to me
Straight from the horse's mouth,
Mikey Garcia:
"Lipinets presents a size advantage as far as weight, but Easter presents height and reach advantages," said Garcia, who's five inches shorter than the 5-feet-11 Easter. "That could make for a very difficult fight. He could use his height and reach advantage over me and make things more complicated. So those are the challenges."

Easter vs Garcia certainly is the more marketable fight precisely because of the height difference.
So blame Garcia for not wanting any piece of Easter.
Regardless of what fans think.
Don't know what people are still arguing about.
Garcia already said he picked Lipinets because Easter's size and reach might present problems.
Clear as day.
What puzzles me more is that people think Easter is a tougher challenge than Lipinets.
Hey Lipinets may have struggled in winning that belt of his. But Easter has likewise struggled in winning his and struggled in his first defense.
I've only seen a few posters talking up Easter as though he was a legit threat to Mikey or Loma. Same with Indongo right before his fight with Crawford. Some people are just easily impressed.
I think you're wrong on Valdez. Kid can become elite imo.
I for one hope so cause I've followed him for a while now but the kid is so flawed and at times ordinary I just can't see it.
what i wanna know is, why do people hype his win over commey? i had never heard of easter or commey before that fight, the only other name on commey's record that i know is shafikov and he lost that fight.
pumped for that fortuna fight though.

I think we all know that Easter is B level lol. Sort of like Oscar Valdez, good and entertaining fighters that will give the top guys good fights but will likely never beat them or be elite unless they undergo serious improvements.

Why does this little dick phaggot always get away with race baiting?
^I've asked that same thing many times. He's constantly doing it and uses abbreviations or antiquated racist phrases to try to get away with it.
He contributes no boxing knowledge or general good to the forum. He should be booted the fuk out.

No one is saying that. But it would be nice to see if he is which can only happen if he is able to fight guys like Mikey. Which is why he wants that fight.
Very weird response... who hurt you buddy? I have heard various big channels say that Mikey is ducking Easter Jr and spinning the narrative that he is this boogieman of the division no one wants to fight. Maybe you just dont follow the boxing talk like i do, but i noticed this recently. There's no need to get hostile
Yea, and "various channels" said Pac beat Mayweather and on and on...
Bump the threads where people are talking about this on NSB.
You guys make these threads to get a bunch of people to agree with you when there's no one arguing with you in the first place.
I'm one of the only Easter fans on here and even I have never said anyone is ducking him or that he's a world beater. GTFO... :lol1:

He prob would lose but unifications are always a plus
True that. I’m not sure how I feel about Easter as I mentioned above. Guess we’ll find out this year.
WTF are you even talking about? Nobody talks about Easter like that, even though he looks very promising and has had some great fights so far. If anything, he's not getting enough recognition.
But, here some some NSB goof saying everyone is calling him a "boogeyman"??? :lol1: No one has called him that. Stop making stupid shyt up guys. If you're bored, you don't HAVE TO make a thread. You can go play with your sister or whatever it is you usually do. :lol1:
