    I know some of you old guys who never venture north to the *****-Pac****-Golovkunt thread (otherwise known as the main forum) don't keep up much with boxing nowadays, but this young man is a tall, powerful stringbean who loves to fight inside. I introduce you to Robert Easter Jr...

    The lad looks good ,he has some lapses ,not always bringing his hands back into the guard position after throwing a punch ,but very promising, he reminds me of Junior Jones.
    I was also impressed by Errol Spence Jnr on the undercard of the Broner vPorter fight.

    He looked good, but the quality of opponent was such that it's hard to say what his potential is. Someone with a good body attack may give him trouble being that he is kind of a stringbean. Also, guys with his build often have mediocre chins. He got hit with a few left hooks, so I can already see his defense isn't as good as it could be. If he's smart, hell fight more on the outside to maximize his physical advantages, once he moves up in competition.

    Basically, it's impossible to predict greatness for this guy based on this fight.

    I was thinking Tommy Hearns when I saw him the other night.
