    What puzzles me more is that people think Easter is a tougher challenge than Lipinets.
    Hey Lipinets may have struggled in winning that belt of his. But Easter has likewise struggled in winning his and struggled in his first defense.

"That could make for a very difficult fight. He could use his height and reach advantage over me and make things more complicated. So those are the challenges."
        Mikey Garcia: Money Must be Right to Make Robert Easter Fight

        A lightweight title unification fight against Robert Easter was among the options Mikey Garcia seriously considered before finalizing a shot at IBF junior welterweight champion Sergey Lipinets earlier this month. Ultimately, though, neither Garcia nor Easter would’ve been paid enough to satisfy either fighter for that bout between undefeated lightweight champions. Instead, Easter (20-0, 14 KOs) will defend his IBF 135-pound championship against Javier Fortuna (33-1-1, 23 KOs) on January 20, three weeks before Garcia (37-0, 30 KOs) challenges Lipinets (13-0, 10 KOs) on February 10 in San Antonio.


        Easter vs Garcia certainly is the more marketable fight precisely because of the height difference.
        So blame Garcia for not wanting any piece of Easter.
        Regardless of what fans think.
        Don't know what people are still arguing about.

        Garcia already said he picked Lipinets because Easter's size and reach might present problems.

        Clear as day.
