He did get a knockdown in the fortuna fight
easter has power? out of the 3 legit opponents he fought he didn't knock them down once. the only guy he knocked down in his last 4 fights was some unknown tune up he had. easter was knocked down against commey and badly hurt against fortuna. shafikov fight had no knockdowns. he looked garbage in all and definitely lost to fortuna while the others were razor close. he fought some guy namd luis cruz and knocked him down a couple times lol. i dont think that means he has power

Coming from Easter's last performance at Barclays in January I could see how some would pick Haney if this comes about...
Funny thing is when it was said that Haney wanted to go after a world title next, this guy was the one that I thought about.
yep...............easter.......but he's not ready for the other titlist at 130-135
If you are crazy I'm crazy. I think I'd make Haney the favorite myself after last nights showing & seeing how Easter has been phoning it in lately. Worse case I don't hate Haney's chance to win that fight even if he is the dog.
And I was saying that was a nutso fight a month or two ago when Haney & Easter had their lil online beef or w/e. But now not so much. I like it.

The simple answer is yes
Haney is good, but the Menard fight, to me anyway, showed that he's not ready yet.
Good speed, good reflexes, a good and effective multiple-jab, and decent instincts to throw to the body, but the punching power isn't really there yet at 135lbs, and I haven't seen him able to hold ground just yet.
It'd be a mistake to do that to Haney, tbh
I'd pick Haney over Easter aswell...he reminds me the most of a young Floyd between all the young guys...but i hope this is his own style instead of trying to imitate Floyd. It seems to work for him
I'm not sure on this one right now, Easter can be drawn into dust-ups and doesn't use his range that well so you can get inside and fight him close and he will abide. That's the easiest way to beat him. But that's the opposite of what Haney wants to do, he wants to box and move at a distance and stay away from the inside, which would seem to actually play into Easter's hands with his huge size and reach. I'm really not sure how this one goes atm, but I think it could potentially be a snoozer, with neither guy wanting to engage much and a lot of posturing with both guys spending the majority of the night outside punching range.
fortuna lit easter up like a hannukuk manorauh. haney is supposed to be one of the best prospects in boxing so why can't he just do that? if your opponent is going to fall into punches i say let him fall

To early for Haney the one thing we know for sure is Easter has power yes he’s struggled in his last fights but he’s put all of them down at least once

he hasnt been phoning it in. ever decent fighter he has fought he has been taken to the limit or lost to. he's trying hard but he simply does not have what it takes. phoning it in is harrison fords career the last 20 years
