LondonRingRules Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) --- Seemingly lethargic careers, but Kid Blast is the A level talent here and I think their styles will make a good stylistic contrast as Easter is more B grade boxer with modest speed. Coming Saturday in Vegas. http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/507579 Heavy Efe Ajagba on the undercard.

Cableaddict Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Re: Rances Barthelemy vs Robert Easter Jr For The WBA Lightweight Belt think Easter takes this one. Don't go judging him by his loss to Garcia. Mikey was the perfect fighter to give Easter trouble, being a small, aggressive in-fighter. And Mikey fought the perfect fight. And who knows, maybe Easter overtrained for that fight, or was sick, or something. He didn't look right at all. Against pretty much everybody else, Easter has looked fantastic. Excellent hand speed, deadly jab, incredible body work, serious power... B level by butt. :laugh: Rances is great, but he's no in-fighter, and he doesn't have 1-punch power. I think Easter's jab will give him fits, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him go down from a body shot. ------------ Regardless, this is a brilliant fight!

I kinda agree...I slightly favor Easter to win. He lost to the better man. Barthelemy is A class for sure, but he can be beaten and it doesn't take a world beater to do it, as we saw when Relikh beat him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see it and likely won't watch since fans don't care enough to be upset.

Ton Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Re: Rances Barthelemy vs Robert Easter Jr For The WBA Lightweight Belt Regardless, this is a brilliant fight! Let's blame Cable!! It was a f**king horrid fight to watch!! Here's a good image to sum it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Re: Rances Barthelemy vs Robert Easter Jr For The WBA Lightweight Belt I wish I read this thread before I bothered going out of my way to obtain the fight and then sit through it. The most lively part was at the end when Barthelemy heard the decision was a draw and was storming around shaking his head as if he'd been robbed. My card read 114-114 too, no one deserved to win and the belt rightly remains vacant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repsac Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Re: Rances Barthelemy vs Robert Easter Jr For The WBA Lightweight Belt I just woke up. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. It was pretty bad. Easter hasn't looked good in quite some time. And Rances must be on drugs if he thinks he out threw Easter in punches. Very laughable post fight interview.

Cableaddict Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Re: Rances Barthelemy vs Robert Easter Jr For The WBA Lightweight Belt Nt quite the worst fight of the year, but darned close. Both fighters should be ashamed of themselves. I'm no longer a Robert Easter fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it was a brilliant fight in theory! (It really was.) Who knew both fighters were going to totally bitch out? I think they should both have their purses withheld.
