    Thats why they fight! Everyone has an opinion on who will win and not everyone can be right. Even me Ive been wrong as well. My dumb ass took Lemuix over Saunders. But I also took just the over in the GGG/Pednelo fight. Gonna do it again.

      You do know Garcia only made $1,000,000 for the fight. Same as against Broner. Mikey has the two most legit belts. While Loma has the shtyiest one of all.
      Mikey got $3.5M for his previous fight.

          By Keith Idec - Mikey Garcia was blunt about why he’ll fight Sergey Lipinets next, not Jorge Linares. The unbeaten WBC lightweight champion was offered more money to battle Lipinets for the hard-hitting Kazakh’s IBF junior welterweight title than he would’ve earned for moving back down to lightweight to fac...

            Good luck to Mikey trying to keep those mandatory obligations. WBC and IBF not seeing eye to eye and will make his opponents a nightmare, just like they did to GGG. Great win for Mikey, hopefully he keeps his titles for a while

              But no, it will be Beltran/Pedraza instead. Top Rank in-house fights like always.

                  I had the fight 10-2 for Mikey. I hate that I had it that wide, because Easter fought a solid fight in the first half and was competitive for most of the rounds. You can tell that Easter just isn't comfortable fighting on the outside like that-- it's not natural for him.

                    Mikey is number 1 P4P. Took awhile for someone to claim that void left by retirement but Mikey has done it.

                      Re

                      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.

                      Other than that, his response to Mikey's rushes was to cover up and concede. Its about the sweet science, but at the end of the day, this is a man's sport. You have to be willing to mix it up inside, and win an UGLY fight, not just a pretty boxing exhibition.

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