Mikey Garcia unified the IBF and WBC lightweight titles this weekend, dropping Robert Easter Jr. in the third round, and ultimately winning a decision by scores of 118-109, 117-110 and 116-111. The fight was even after five rounds on two of the three scorecards, but ultimately the consistent pressure of Garcia wore down Easter, who was fighting in what was really his first big contest. This was a great performance by Garcia and will ultimately go a long way towards proving he is one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world. There’s just one thing he seems hellbent on doing, that makes zero sense.
