Comments Thread For: Robert Easter: I'm Calling Out Mikey Garcia,Linares, Flanagan

[Corelone]

Robert isn't really a lightweight, he's boiling down and using the size advantage. That's normal, that's what they do, but there are some disadvantages. I call it tall man syndrome, no angles. He backs up in a straight line and depends on his reach. Paul Williams was better at it, but a small MW, Martinez, out maneuvered him.

He doesn't beat Garcia, but I would go with him outpointing Flanagan and KOing Linares. Linares is an excellent boxer but he has few wins against top competition despite his three paper belts, and IMO he doesn't have a great chin. I could see Easter denting it.

The best win of Easter jr. is Commey and it was a close fight. So, why making a hype?

Easter should honour his mandatory fight with Shafikov first then we see the way forward.. I wouldnt mind watching Easter vs Commey rematch.

Not hyping him, i said Garcia would beat him. His history is thin too. Just think he has the size, style and power to beat Flanagan and Linares, who has few wins against decent opposition despite fighting more than 40 times.

Garcia/Easter Jr. this June. No excuses. Showtime/PBC, let's keep these good unification bouts coming. It would be an excellent way to carry the momentum from DeGale/Jack and Garcia/Thurman into the second half of 2017.

Garcia vs Easter please Mr. Promoters.
