Easter vs Commey FULL FIGHT: September 9, 2016 - PBC on Spike

(September 9, 2016) In front of a raucous and supportive crowd, undefeated rising star Robert Easter (18-0, 14 KOs) earned a narrow split-decision victory over previously unbeaten Richard Commey (24-1, 22 KOs) in a thrilling contest that saw both men grab momentum at different points throughout the 12-round bout.
Easter used his jab and length advantage in round one and appeared to have more success throughout the night when he fought from a distance. The fight vacillated between a tactical battle and a toe-to-toe war by the round and even by the minute.
The Ghanaian Commey was aggressive throughout the fight and had success pushing Easter to the ropes and catching him with big right hands. In round eight, Commey scored a knockdown on one of those right hands, as referee Benjy Esteves ruled that Easter’s glove hit the canvas as a result of the punch.
Easter and Commey both came out firing in round nine, engaging in one of the many exchanges that put the lively crowd on its feet. Easter had great success throughout the night with his right uppercut that consistently caught Commey coming in, but never deterred him completely.
Both men reached the 12-round limit for the first time in their careers but it was Easter who took advantage of the final stanza by rocking and wobbling Commey with a big overhand right just seconds into the round.
Commey was able to survive on the ropes and by consistently wrapping up his opponent. Both men were lifted to the air in triumph by their trainers after the final bell rang as the crowd cheered the two combatants. In the end the judges scored the fight 114-113 for Commey and 115-112 and 114-113 for Easter.
"All this hard work we had to put in for this fight, we had to dig in deep. I did this for my city and Toledo came out for me tonight."

[@jonathanbenisrael2501]

In the 12th round when Easter Jr got Commey hurt, why did he continue to walk up into the arms of Commey allowing him to hold him for most of the round. That was absolutely crazy that Easter Jr did not use distance to knock him out. A lack of ring generalship.

[@BlackLionVlogs816]

That was frustrating to see. Easter was mostly likely out of gas

[@WaveLordLuis]

A twisted combo of adrenaline, nerves, and inexperience but I see a much more composed Rob Easter Jr in the future

[@jonathanbenisrael2501]

@@WaveLordLuis Agree. But he should not be nervous in the 12th round when your opponent is seriously hurt. Line up your target at the correct distance and pull the trigger not unlike Devon Haney or Hitman Hearns.

[@bender4769]

He chooses not to fight

[@TexRock]

Nobody’s sleeping on Bunny. He just doesn’t step up when the competition gets stiff. This was his best performance. He lost to Fortuna and got gifted a decision. He got destroyed by Mikey. He barely beat Adrian Granados. He’s very tall for the weight class, but fights small. He doesn’t utilize his jab enough to control distance. He mixes it up way too much and gets sucked into fighting an inside fight way too often. His philly shell defense is average at best. I could go on for days. I thought Bunny would be much better than what he’s become.

[@thedhive6512]

@@TexRock He's 30 and beat Commey, Fortuna, Granados, and Shafikov and only has one loss by decision to one of the top guys in the division at the time 😂 but of course we should all bow down to your expertise. funny how Black fighters take one L and casuals say "its time to retire" meanwhile people like Granados and Rosado are career punching bags and they still get respect. "Destroyed" lmfao stop.

His stock took a big hit with the Garcia and Barthelemy fights. Garcia just completely outclassed him and then the Barthelemy fight, his very next fight, was legit one of the worst fights I've ever seen. Terrible performances from both guys honestly. He beat Granados rather unimpressively, then he didn't fight at all for the past 16 months. Gotta build that name up again. I honestly forgot he was even still there.
