    Do You Think Robert Easter Jr Is A Paper Champ?

    People have been saying that Easter's been getting gift decisions lately, and I have to agree. I just finished scoring 3 of his most recent bouts, and had him losing all of them.

    Here are my scores
    Easter vs Commey: 115-113 Commey

    Easter vs Shafikov: 115-113 Shafikov

    Easter vs Fortuna: 115-113 Fortuna

    Here are the full fights, so you can score the bouts yourself:

        That wasn't a 7-5, Fortuna beat the **** out of him.

          3 outta 4 title holders in every division is a paper champion in my eyes. And for me Linares is the real 135lb champion.

          Unfortunately with how boxing is structured who is the real champ & who the paper champs are is up for a little to a lot of debate. I believe 135 to be less debatable doe.

            I had him losing all those fights too and the Shafikov one by 8-4. I think he's overrated now but once he moves up or Lomachenko signs to fight someone else he's a badass and he's been ducking by the cowardly Loma. Of course, if he signs to fight Loma then he's an overrated, cherry pick and paper champ. If he loses he's the worst fighter ever but the fight was fixed doe.

              dont know how I scored the commey fight, but I had
              easter vs shafikov 113-115 and
              easter vs fortuna 113-114

              He has talent, but I think he needs to change his trainer. I dont know why he always wants to fight on the inside or allows smaller dudes to get in range so easily.
              In the first three rounds against shafikov, he fought how he should have. Long jab from range, lateral movement and catching shafikov trying to get into range.

                100%. These tall guys who don't use their size are some of the guys I just don't get the most. Definitely needs a reset with a new trainer.

                That said I used to love Diego Corrales who didn't fight tall. But everyone ain't Diego Corrales either & certainly Easter isn't.

                  He is not the best or even the second or third best lightweight in the world in my opinion. If that makes him a paper champion then I think he is a paper champion. He lost his last fight on my score card.

                    I can't recall my scoring for the Commey fight, it was close though. I had him losing the more recent two however.
                    I feel he's fortunate be a champion at present.
