Comments Thread For: Robert Easter Arrives at 140, Beats Granados in Fireworks Fight

[Vodkaholic]

How can you say a boxer is done?
And you didn't even watch the fight?
#casual fan alert

If you lose to somebody like easter then your done. Granados usually got robbed in pbc fights.

I'm hoping Mikey Garcia enters the 140 picture just to see how he fares at that weight and if he still has motivation left. I think Jose Ramirez seems to be criminally underrated. There is also the guy who beat Barrios recently and Arnold Barboza jr., and Virgil Ortiz and Subriel Matias if he can get his spark back after that tragedy.

People forget Mikey is 31 going on 32. He's not looking to get that spark back against these young guys he's looking for the big money fights at this point in his career. Mexican's generally don't have longevity in boxing as it is, they are usually done by early to mid 30's.

Just look at how inactive he's been since the Spence lost. Theatrically he should have wanted to get right back in there but he's been waiting on the right fight to come along for the largest purse instead. I'd say Garcia has about 3 fights left.

The thing with Mikey is he spent a large portion of his prime years on the shelf in that contract dispute with top rank so he's trying to make up for the lost time financially and I really can't blame him for that. I just don't see him wanting to prove he's the best at any weight cuz that's not his motivation at this point.

Sh#t sucks for Granados. He’s such an entertaining boxer and he always gives it his all in every fight he’s in.

He’s wayyyyy better than his record suggests.

Granados out worked and out landed Easter. ROBBERY. Another PBC ROBBERY. Pretty much a robbery per PBC card these days. It has become beyond a joke and has become the norm. Honest to god these guys are a massive joke to the sport now.

I don't remember him cleaning out a weight class. as for another big money fight is concerned he shot himself in the foot with that spence debacle.

Great fight and the right fighter won.

Those cards were too wide. Granados started slow and won some middle rounds.

The 100-90 score card was ludicrous

[ceylon mooney]

Robert Easter isn’t good at all but he might be good enough to be the best at 140.

easter has shown us to be on par with zepeda, granados, guys like that...he just showd us hes fringe contender level...how does that make him the best at 140?

i didnt think much of ramirez when he won the belt, but hes gotten to be damn good. hes a handful for anyone. i wouldnt count him out against anyone now.

[Drewp4p]

those cards seems to wide to me. it was way closer than that. maybe even a draw. granados threw more and landed more

Thats not how score cards work. If im scoring a fight and every round is super close but i give each round to one fighter the scores will be 100-90. on paper its a shut out but doesnt reflect that the fight was close. thats the point system and yous core by each round. any of the 10 rounds could have gone the other way but thats up to the judge. thats the chance in close rounds. then its tallied up at the end.
