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

[Chrismart]

I can see it being fairly comfortable. I've never really been high on Easter.

[LA_2_Vegas]

I don't think he will be able to "stay tall" to pull that off - we've seen him get drawn in and start to bend over and lean making himself shorter and more hittable. I think Garcia will be using a lot of jabs to the body to accelerate that process

not really a fight I was clamoring but it will still be interesting to see Garcia matchup with a wirey type of fighter, sometimes they have the dimensions andsnap intheir shots to throw off "much better" well schooled guys - like Junior Jones vs Barerra

[MasterPlan]

He won't beat him easily. I actually see him getting floored but he'll win a close decision.
Will look like Easter-Commey.

[Combat Talk Radio]

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?

Robert "Bunny" Easter is not good. Not at all.

Put it like this: If they ever fight, Broner would beat Easter Jr. That's how little I think of him.

[STREET CLEANER]

Unless Easter rises to the occasion or catchese Mikey with something I just don't see him winning.

Oh that's harsh

I'm actually considering an underdog bet on Easter. Haven't pulled the trigger yet though....still pondering.

The last large odds boxing fight I bet was Nelo/GGG to be a draw. I got that at 30 to 1. This fight is 26 to 1 for the draw.

I do think it's a possibility that Garcia disappoints and he gets outworked for a draw.


Pondering options....

Mickey at $1.10 to $1 represents bad value to me but Easter is $6.50 to $1 currently. I was hoping for closer to Lomachenko opponenr odds (like $8.50 to $1) for Easter.


Hmmmm

[Mister Wolf]

He struggled fighting that kickboxer get hit hard to the head and body. I hope Easter gives him a tough fight but I doubt it.

[_original_]

It's hard to imagine him struggling with Bunny but then again nobody expected Mikey to struggle with that last guy who only had like 12 fights and he didn't look too hot.

Easter has given every1 a hard time whether u think he won or lost.

[Boxfan83]

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

If its a KO im betting itll be to the body for sure.
