    Garcia isn’t great but he should win a reasonably comfortable decision.

    Technical analysis : Mikey thinks the same thing that most of you think. Easter looked bad against Fortuna. He knows he is not fighting Fortuna. Easters length will give Mikey problems. If Easter keeps a pole in his face this could be a long night for Mikey. Easter will have to fight the fight of his boxing career. Split the Bet and bet the the odds since Mikey is a heavy favorite. This is a break even on Mikey........or big money if Easter manages the upset.

    Is this not on TV in the UK? Im struggling to find it. Other than the big British card all im seeing is Diaz v Ito. Thats not the same card is it?

    Who has Mikey beaten that's got a far longer reach and massive height advantage? Who has Mikey beaten that's a skilled boxer and isn't a come forward aggressor that blocks punches with his face? Lipinets who didn't have a height or reach advantage gave him a ton of issues, by merely pumping out his jab and fighting off the backfoot off and on. Easter isn't the guy that made his last 3 matches into blood and guts brawls, that was his opponents, Mikey doesn't fight like that and probably never will, this fight will be one of the toughest of Mikey's career, and for the record, last year, Mikey said that of all the guys at LW, Easter was his biggest stylistic issue, so that's not just my assessment. Am I confident of an upset? No, but if Easter fights the perfect fight, there might be.

    I know Garcia is the smart money but I think Easter pulls the upset here.

    Easter is better than the Fortuna fight and it feels like Garcia may be looking a bit past Easter here.

    This is a really good fight, one of my personal favorites, between the top two guys in the division who are both undefeated and a nice style mesh. I’m looking forward to it. Easter by late stoppage.

    Wrong score, but had Garcia.

    Seems like Easter stopped doubling up the jab after that right hand, left hook dropped him.
    His post fight interview imo validated it. If he couldn't find his timing --we saw the alternative; survivor mode.

    Great 9th and poise from Garcia who quietly stepped up the pace each round. I had it 5-3 Garcia, after that, hard to find a round for Easter. 9-3+ KD.

    Haven't yet seen this fight. So what did I get wrong? Did I overestimate Mikey or underestimate Easter or what combination? Why didn't Mikey khtfo?
