Vasyl Lomachenko, 6-1(4), the current WBO Junior Lightweight champion vs Robert Easter, Jr., 18-0(14), the current IBF Lightweight champion. Who you got?
Easter is still smoothing out the edges a bit but I have been (cautiously) predicting big things for him. Big, strong ring IQ, solid chin, great power, speed, footwork is good but getting even better. Can fight at any range.
Loma is great, no need to even go into that, but I think Easter's power and reach get to him. Loma is fast, but I don't think he's fast enough to land combos on Easter without finding himself in trouble. Many of the same reasons I think Walters will cause problems for Loma.

Would probably be a good, competitive fight.
Good analysis, man. I actually want to see more of both of them first, which obviously will happen. This is more of a "if it were to happen" kind of poll.

Definitely. Plenty of time for both, particularly Easter.
