If Easter had ANY kind of inside game, he wins this fight EASILY. It's no contest. We're talk 118, almost a shut out.
He's winning the distance game easily! It's just when Mikey would BULL his way in and brawl...Easter had nothing to discourage him. Easter BLASTED him with a vicious lead uppercut in the 7th round, I gotta give him that.

Doesn't have it in him, and it's going to be very tough to win at an elite level.Comment
