    Who else isn't convinced Mikey Garcia easily beats Easter?

    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?

      Hes a champ and whether you rate his performances highly or not, his comp hasnt been bad.

      In order for Mikey to win this fight, hes going to have to take some punishment.

        His mediocre competition whipped his stick ass the last two fights he’s heavily out classed by the man who already embarrassed his daddy.

          I honestly just dont see Eastern have the skill lvl to to win this he has physical attributes but thats it.

          Mikey can do everything better imo Eastern only way imo is to make it an ugly fight which i see Mikey being 2 steps ahead of that already im really exspecting Mikey to win a 9 to 3 UD honestly.

            Based on what Easter has shown so far, i dont see why Garcia wouldnt walk over him.

            But then again some fighters fight to the level of its competition and rise to the occasion when necessary.

            Im not convinced by easter because he hasnt shown the ability to use his height and range. If he does that, he can give garcia trouble but i dont think he has that in him. Leopard doesnt change its spot and Paul Williams had the same issue.

            Garcia is going to wreck him

              He doesnt even use his reach advantage. Easter is a D Level fighter. Mikey will toy with this dude. Hes gonna get dominated and KOd

                I like Easter a lot, but he doesn't fight smart. Mikey, on the other hand, is brilliant in the ring. Mikey will fight this one carefully so don't expect him to look great. But, he won't have any real problems with Easter.

                  Mikey will get inside of Easters shot and hurt him badly. Easter might be layed out cold in this fight, His defense is to leaky and his chin is always high. Mikey is an accurate technician and he will connect and connect fast,flush and accurately.

                    Am definitely convinced that he beats him easily.
