    Doesn't work that way mate. Easter is not going lay down easily. This is boxing. Stop living in LALA land.

    You are exaggerating again. Easter was fighting his heart out. Terrified is only in your own creation and imagination.

    No. Mikey's shots bothered him big time.

    Linares is tailor made for Garcia. Garcia puts Linares' jaw straight through the back of his skull. Doubt Linares would even take the fight. He would get destroyed.

    Linares wanted the fight, it was offered to Garcia. Garcia quacked and ran away. Linares was ready for it.

    You think Mikey is afraid of Linares? Ridiculous. If you don't get what I'm saying, Linares' team wouldn't want the fight now is what I mean.

    His best win is Broner.

    Broner would beat Linares easy. Who did Broner lose to? Maidana, Porter, Mikey Garcia - those aren't bad fighters to lose to. Maidana arguably beat Floyd, Porter is a machine, and Mikey, well that proves it that he's in that company.

    Meanwhile Linares has lost to a bunch of Randoms, including deMarco - who Broner beat like he wasn't even on his level.

    Have you even seen the fight? A cut, it was a goddamn cut, lucky for DeMarco, since he'd lost every round decisively up until the stoppage, that includes the rounds where Linares' nose was literally falling off.

    Linares is extremely flashy, obviously very skilled, I watched his fight with demarco a few times because I was in awe of his skills and movement, even Manny steward was.

    That said if you look closely, he's more flash than skills. He makes some movements a lot more flashy and difficult than it has to be. Kinda like a goalkeeper in soccer/football doing some flashy dive to catch the ball when he probably could just stood there and let it fall into his hands. Mikey keeps it basic as fk, but his timing and commitment is on point.

    Why not? He’s fought the best, now he can fight and beat Garcia to get his career back on track immediately with some new belts. Mikey was afraid before, maybe he’s less afraid now since Lomachenko knocked Linares out. I don’t know.

    I’ve been saying this for a long time. Look at his only one punch KO, and what happened to that 5’3 guy afterwards.
