But @Newzz he doesn't sound shook at all, sounds like he's ready to just whoop Easters ass. This goes against the narrative you were telling me....................

How Sway?? Easters so tall :mjcry:
Mikey would beat Easter imo
Everybody's talking about Easter's height + reach but for what if he just doesn't fight tall... :yeshrug:

Oh boxing, I love you, never change. Let a dude named PED come off a 2yr layoff looking ripped to shreds, have him beat up a Euro pool cleaner, and bam you're the mando for the WBA n WBC strap
He's gonna have to do VADA though in order of WBA's new clean boxing program though :yeshrug: so I'm not mad... if he's dirty he will get caught

I like Mikey but imo he is over his head with this one. Thurman is a big welter, who is a good fighter too and has tons of confidence now. No matter how technical of a lightweight Mikey is he wouldn't beat Thurman.

Also I think textbook skills tend to be overrated a little by many. Thurman fights a little awkward he doesn't fight like your everyday walking boxing textbook but I think that's not only a disadvantage but at least that big of an advantage. Opponents can't get properly ready to him and they have to figure him out in the ring. All that while Thurman also has more game plans and more ways he fights.
Not textbook fighters sometimes get shytted on by fighters who fetishize the textbook, amateur style but I think they shouldn't be cause they bring more excitement, diversity in the sport and as I said being unorthodox is at least that big of an advantage than it's a disadvantage.
Thurman has some wide punches, pause. But some critics seem to stuck there without realizing what he's doing well at the same time.
Thurman can land from all 3 distances, and can throw straight or looping punches with and without power, when he's moving or when his feet are set.

I think that's why he's called unorthodox. That and his left arm tends to kick out and drop his D when he's throwing his right. It doesn't at all when he's feinting. I agree with you it can be a positive or a negative, depends on who he's fighting.

Res @Newzz and I will be going back and forth about this until they fight, and if they never fight we'll still fight about it.

:hhh: the thought of MIkey being shook of Easter when he wants to fight Un Tiempo

And his bouncing, "ambush" style is kinda unorthodox too. There are some other fighters who fight like that but not common.

But yet, he already has ruled out fighting Robert Easter Jr in 2017:mjpls:


If he was as confident as you, he would've listed Easter as someone he wants to fight this year, since it's the easiest fight to make being they have the same management :sas1:


Instead, he talking about others and moving up to 147 :sas2:
