Im in the 8th now
Have Easter up by 1 but man he should have been deducted for holding and forearming already.
Will already say that if Easter didnt have a 7 plus inch reach advantage he would be KO’d already. Tied again by the eighth. Still same in 9th. Damn good round. Comey by 1 in 10. Comey by 2 in 11. Easter won the 12th but I feel he will get the nod being the local.
Either way a rematch is needed. Great fight. Canidate for FOTY.
Hope they rematch an NOT as a PBC fight as Comey will only win by KO if so.
