It's honestly pathetic what they do. Not to bring the race card but I swear it's cause they're black...(the fighter) lol, like it's ridiculous.

I NEVER thought I'd see the day NSB complains about a fight like Robert Easter Jr. vs Javier Fortuna. Literally mindblowing ****.

They're complaining about Garcia vs. Lipnets too so I can't say it's race. It's because it's PBC. Well Haymon is black so race does have something to do with it. This is a good undercard fight. And would be a main event on HBO judging by the fights they've put on as main events this year.

Fortunas last 4 fights were above 130.

no they werent. where do you get your info? 2 were for the wba 130 pound belt. cabrera was at 130 and douglas was at 133. so thats one fight and not even at the full limit.

really? remember when pbc fanboys complained when loma fought jason sosa? the guy that just blasted out fortuna. maybe its strange to see the same people who criticized that fight now saying this is a solid fight. maybe pbc fans just have low standards for their fighters and higher standards for everyone else i cant explain it

This is a good fight and good name for Easter. He’s much taller than Fortuna so he should have significant physical advantages. Fortuna can crack though and Easter is there to be hit. Props to Fortuna for moving up and taking this scrap. Easter should be the clear favorite though

I'm for tuna. I can understand why people would be against tuna, what with all the mercury and all.

still hoping jermall is on this card

I thought he already was going to be. Or was it just thrown out there as a possibility?

Nothing confirmed yet, but it's been rumored he will fight Hugo Centeno

That aint got nothing to do with race or tv networks/promoters. That's purely about standards/ratings/rankings.

Easter is probably not even in the p4p top 20 in the world, but everybody rates Loma is an automatic top 3 on the p4p lists.

When people make that claim about a fighter, you damn well better expect people to demand you fight the biggest available threat in your division.

You can't compare standards fans have for Easter and Loma, because they are not anywhere near each other in terms of how they are rated in the boxing community.

Perhaps if you made an example about Ward or Crawford you argument would have more substance, since they were too rated in the same category as Loma, although neither is a PBC fighter, but we all know PBC is codename for 'black' around here.
