Garcia vs Easter FULL FIGHT: July 28, 2018 - PBC on Showtime
(July 28, 2018) Mikey Garcia became the 10th lightweight champion to unify the division with a unanimous decision against Robert Easter Jr. Saturday on SHOWTIME, and immediately afterward set his sights on boxing's best, namely Errol Spence Jr.
All three judges scored the fight in favor of Garcia,118-109, 117-110, 116-111, in an electrifying fight in front of 12,560 fans at STAPLES Center in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
The four-division world champion Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs) - who was fighting in his native Southern California for the first time in seven years - keeps his 135-pound WBC title and also claims Easter's IBF Lightweight belt
"I'm here for the biggest challenges," said Garcia, 30, who unified a title for the first time in his career. "I don't know if there is anyone that is a bigger challenge than Errol Spence. I know he's up to fight everyone so let's make it happen. I think it can be made. I think that's the next big fight coming up.
"I feel I have the power and the skillset to compete in any division up to welterweight. He's the toughest guy at welterweight so I want to face him."
Garcia scored a knock down in the third round against Easter (21-1, 14 KOs) of Toledo, Ohio, who was sent to the canvas for just the second time in his career. A strong right jab put Easter out of position, immediately followed by a devastating left hook sent him down with 24 seconds remaining in the round.
Garcia got better as the fight progressed. In the final four rounds Garcia out-landed Easter 95-34 in total punches and ended the fight being the more active fighter throwing 555 punches to Easter's 507. He connected on nearly 40 percent of his power shots while Easter landed at a 24 percent clip.
"It's a great accomplishment being here in L.A.," Garcia said. "I was in control most of the fight, and I did what I had to do. I knew he was a tough opponent. He's a tough warrior. He gave a great fight but I was a better fighter. I was in control of the fight and I did what I had to do to win."
Easter, who went into Garcia's locker room after the fight to congratulate his opponent, was gracious in defeat.
"Whenever we step in the ring, we are both putting our lives on the line and tonight Mikey was victorious," said Easter, who entered the fight as the longest reigning champion at 135 pounds. "I just couldn't find the timing and I just couldn't let my right hand go. He caught me with a clean shot and I went down, but I got up like a true champion."
