Comments Thread For: Easter: Still Feel Like I'm Underestimated, Must Win Fights By KO

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Robert Easter Jr. can't quite identify the reason. The IBF lightweight champion just knows he hasn't received the type of credit he feels he deserves for what he has done, particularly in his championship victory over previously undefeated Richard Commey. The unbeaten Easter traded with the hard-hitting Commey throughout their 12-round fight, displayed a reliable chin and won a world title in entertaining fashion.

hes fought one good opponent and got a debatable decision so yes you still have something to prove and knocking out this tomato can will prove your greatness

wtf is it with these fighters whining about not getting credit, what do you expect, people to be talking in the street about you? Really do have in inflated sense of self worth this new generation of fighters. Beat some world class fighters and you'll get credit, simple.

What he means is they should pay him more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Probably a prelude to pricing himself out of a Mikey fight.

Mikey only got around $700K total for his last two fights doe. I don't want to hear you asking for $1 mil.

Not sure what's expecting. He hasn't beat or even fought a widely recognised opponent. Tonight he faces a guy outside the top 100 in the division who's never been in a 12 round fight.

There won't be a lot people @ 135 in a rush to fight a 5'11" fighter who can punch and box!

You mean Mikey will avoid Easter?

Robert you just got on it takes time to build a name it doesn't just happen over night. Just keep winning and fight quality opponents.

Why??? Easter needed a gift decision just to beat a guy not ranked in #10 most lists at LW?? I don't see Commey ranked in the Top #10 at all do you???In fact he LOST on ONE judges card and the other had them both tied in the 12 round???

He decisioned an undefeated fighter, give him Mayweather-sized paychecks.
