Comments Thread For: Fortuna: Easter's Niche is He's Tall - Nothing I Can't Overcome

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Javier Fortuna (33-1-1, 23 KOs) is not bothered by the height advantage of undefeated IBF lightweight world champion Robert Easter (20-0, 14 KOs). The two are set to collide on January 20th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The card is headlined by Errol Spence Jr. making the first defense of his IBF welterweight world title against Lamont Peterson.

Can't say I understand the Easter hype, decent fighter but nothing amazing.

Don't think that is all there is to the guy he does have solid skills and mostly uses his length as a tall fighter should. Easter is 3rd best LW behind Linares and Mikey but a fight with either Easter will have a good chance at winning.

Fortuna can easily take this fight.

IIRC fortuna fights a bit similar to sergio martinez style... wouldnt mind seein him win but i kind of like easter

Fortuna is very awkward and crafty. This will be a tough fight for Easter.

Robert Easter Jr. has a better resume than Mickey Mouse Garcia at lightweight, he dont want this work ; Lomachenko can get it too!

I'm not sure how good of a punch Fortuna can take. Shafikov gave Easter fits, but he took everything Easter had to offer. Lateral movement works on tall guys, Martinez vs Paul Williams comes to mind and Fortuna can box.... sometimes.

If Shafikov was a tough fight for Easter I don't see why Fortuna would be a walk in the park either.

did anyone score the shafikov fight? i tuned in well past half way through and easter was getting battered....then they released scores saying easter won every round??
