I like Mikey, hes a textbook boxer and does a lot for the community. Hes highly bragged about in almost every local gym I go to in the Inland Empire.
With that said, I've seen daily training clips of Easter. The guy is training HARD in the gym. And from the mitt and bag work I have seen, it doesn't look like the plan is to stay in the pocket. It looks like they are focusing on speed, 2 punch combinations, and lateral movement. If anything I have said it before, Easter has all the physical attributes to make this fight UGLY. If the ref allows it, Easter can hit and hold to a decision. With an 8inch reach, 5inches in height, and a handspeed difference Easter should not be taken lightly nor should Mikey win it be considered easy.
Thoughts?
