    Great fight, Garcia is building one hell of a resume and with this win he will cement himself as a p4p fighter. Easter jr has now had 3 tough fights out of 4 now, he has the size to beat Garcia but he doesn’t use his length well enough. If Easter utilities his jab it will be interesting to see how Mikey will get past it.

    I got Mikey by Decision.

    Thoughts?

    I think Wilder has pro-- Sorry its hard to adjust back to a none Wilder Vs Joshua thread!

    I like what Mikey Garcia is doing. Think this is a tough fight for both guys. I do think Garcia has bags of skill and look forward to him using it against bigger guys. I see a clear Garcia UD.

    Sucks that the Linares fight isn't happening, BUT this is a quality fight in itself. Mikey by decision. Easter Jr is good and it won't be an easy night for Mikey but he just does too much too well

    Better fight and harder fight than Linares IMO. Easter Jr. is huge LW with the reach of a LHW. He will pose problems for Mikey because of it. Very risky fight for Garcia to take props to him for taking it.

    If he fought at 140 he would win a title easily.

    This.

    Easter is Huge at 135, if Easter beat Linares it wouldn't be shocking.

    Easter also has advice from Broner, Easter will be seeking revenge for AB. Garcia coming back down in weight this is a close fight.

    Yeah it's a great fight I still lean towards Garcia but Easter Jr. is no joke, it wouldn't surprise me if he pulled off the upset. Very risky fight for Garcia he has balls that's for sure and wants to be great.

    An early Easter for Mikey Garcia.
    Late stoppage I think.

    I'm riding with Pimp on this one
    Exciting fight as more risk than facing Linares (who I really enjoy watching) due to the size and durability

    If Mikey faces Easter next I have not problem with it. I actually rate Easters wins over Commey and Shafikov as better than Linares' wins over Crolla x2 and Campbell.
