Comments Thread For: Garcia-Easter in Works for July 28 or Sometime in August in L.A.

If Easter was trying to look bad to land Mikey it worked. He is a tough match up style wise for Mikey and its a unification many people thought Mikey would avoid. I'm all for it. Easter needs to shake off that last performance by stepping up and fighting a star like Mikey. Lets see how Mikey deals with Easter's height and reach. This is the best fight available at 135 with linares-loma on the horizon. Make it happen!

After Easter's performance vs Fortuna this matchup lost a lot of steam. Picking Mikey is an easy choice. If he loses it's a huge upset. Easter has zero clue on how to utilize his height so I expect Mikey to light him up like a Christmas tree.

now that he robbed fortuna and mikey is fighting him mikey is actually getting props? that makes no sense. this is the definition of a cherry pick. wait until a guy has been exposed/is on the slide. if people did think mikey was avoiding him which is dubious since easter always looked crap then how does fighting him coming off a horrible career worst performance make mikey look good...cause he officially won we are supposed to forget what jus happened? can i join the cult?

Easter better bring it or he'll get his @$$ whooped. Especially if he performs like he did his last two fights SMH Should be a good scrap I know that I'm watching.

No way Loma fights Mikey next. Every time they ask about fighting Mikey, he always say he'll fight him down the road. Loma knows Mikey is too skilled and too big for him. Loma going to end up fighting Beltran next to unify the WBO title. If Loma does fight Mikey it will be in 2019 after Beltran and adjust to the 135 weight.

Robert Garcia said he doesn't want a Loma fight now. He said "in 3 or 4 years". Loma said he wants Mikey after Linares.

This is the weight Mikey needs to stay at. Smash Easter and then scalp the winner of Linares/Loma. No good fights at 140 as long as he can still make 135 nobody is beating him at that weight.

Fortuna is a southpaw Mikey is not Easter will have a easier time figuring out Mikey that long jab will be landing this time

As easy of a time he had against Commey? Lol. Another one that could have went either way. Shafikov did give him hell as I mentioned earlier. I thought Easter edged it out but it was close. Fortuna and Commey I had beating Easter

I agree, i just feel Easter has the physical attributes to make this fight ugly & hes gifted decisions. He can easily punch and grab. Mikeys to smart though but dont be surprised if dirty tactics make it closer than expected.

Mikey is a beast at 35. People are looking at the last two fights at 140 too much. I bet Mikey stops him late

Make it happen as soon as possible.

Props to Garcia for consistently fighting quality opposition. If this fight is sealed, it will be the 5th reigning champ he's faced in the past 9 fights.
