Comments Thread For: Easter Drops Cruz Three Times, Easily Wins Unanimous Decision

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Robert Easter Jr. couldn't keep his knockout promise Friday night, but he did dominate Luis Cruz. The unbeaten IBF lightweight champion satisfied his hometown fans by knocking down Cruz once apiece in the 10th, 11th and 12th rounds at Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio. The 26-year-old Easter (19-0, 14 KOs), fighting in his hometown for the first time as a pro, methodically broke down his extremely game challenger on his way to easily winning a unanimous decision.

Poor defense by Easter Jr. I can see Easter Jr. maybe knocking down Linares, but Linares wins on points. Garcia will straight smash through Easter Jr.'s guard unlike the performance against Cruz. I mean maybe it was Easter's off night, but if Cruz could dip out and under near the ropes, grab, throw back, I just see Garcia's power too much for Easter Jr. let alone the Mİkey's defensive IQ. I think Mikey is going to UNIFY the whole division

Robert "gonna be in trouble soon" Easter jr... No way he beats the top guys at 135-140.

People still think Easter Bunny beats Garcia?

[Oluminati]

Stop being extreme! Ebunny has flaws just like 95% of champions today. Anyway, if you want to go the distance with ebunny, just lay on the ropes. He will smother his punches and miss 80% of his punches. How is it that fighters just can't take a 1/2 a step back? 2nd fight in a row ebunny should have got the ko.

Not overly impressed. Cruz was a gimmee fight.

This fight went the distance? lol

That hype train is gonna be derailed sooner or later, no doubt

Mikey Garcia almost killed an Undefeated WBC champion in 3 rounds. Easter does this vs a nobody.

If Easter Jr can't knock this guy out, how will he be knocking out Mikey Garcia? I don't know if Easter Jr is ready to unify titles yet.
