Lightweight contender Robert Easter Jr. is dismissive of Richard Commey, his fellow undefeated opponent for a vacant lightweight world title on Friday (Spike, 9 p.m. ET) at the Santander Center in Reading, Pennsylvania.Every opponent you step in the ring with you have to respect, but its nothing unique I see coming from him, Easter said. Its nothing I havent seen or faced. So, like I said, this should be a walk in the park for me, and I say that with confidence.The fight will come on a Premier Boxing Champions card headlined by middleweight titlist Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) defending his secondary belt in a rematch against former junior middleweight titleholder Sergio Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs).Easter has every right to be confident. The 25-year-old from Toledo, Ohio is one of the most impressive up-and-comers at 135 pounds. He was a standout amateur and, at 5-foot-11, is exceptionally tall for the division. He also can crack. In his last fight, on April 1 in Washington, D.C., Easter scored an explosive one-punch fifth-round knockout of former junior lightweight titlist Argenis Mendez.He hasnt faced anyone like me and my agility, my power, my length, my reach, Easter said of Commey. He hasnt faced a guy like me. So, thats where I come in and take over this fight.Easter said he watched a little video on Commey and came away believing he would presents him with no particular issues.Seeing the few rounds I did watch is the skills, and I wouldnt say they were that good, Easter said. But hes just very strong. They say hes strong. But youre only strong to somebody you can hit. The skills are not much there. But I dont like to get hit that much. I wont get hit that much. Once I get him in my game plan, the fight is going to go my way the whole few rounds its going to last.Asked if perhaps he was bit overconfident against an opponent who has also never tasted defeat, is well conditioned and has been a road warrior, Easter said he was not.No, not at all. Not at all, Easter said. I believe in my skill and I know what Ill come and do, just like my last fight and fight before that and a few fights before that. Once I got my game plan, when I come in the ring, I know how to make the fighter try to adjust to me. Once I get a fighter try and adjust to me, then the fight is already won.The skills, you can see the skills, mine and his. Hes a straight come-forward fighter, try to hard punch and all that. But when you got boxing and you can punch as well and you can move, dont matter. It speaks for itself.Commey (24-0, 22 KOs) and Easter (17-0, 14 KOs) are vying for the 135-pound world title vacated by Rances Barthelemy, who elected to move up in weight rather than face Commey, the mandatory challenger.Commey said it makes no difference to him that he is fighting Easter rather than Barthelemy. He is just looking forward to bring a title home to his native Ghana, known for its boxing greats such as Hall of Famer Azumah Nelson and former welterweight titleholder Ike Quartey.In fact, the 29-year-old Commey said he recently spoke to Nelson and got a bit of fight advice from him, which he did not detail. Commey said he was dismissing Easters talk of such a big skill advantage.What Ive seen of him, I know hes a great boxer, a skilled boxer, and he tries to move a lot but, likewise, I can box, Commey said. I can come forward. So, on the night of the fight, definitely, I know what Im going to do.Im very excited to have this opportunity to fight for the IBF lightweight world title. Ive worked so hard to get this opportunity and I know Robert Easter Jr. has also. So its going to be a great fight.Commey has fought in six different countries: Ghana, England, United States, Germany, Denmark and South Africa. The fight with Easter will be his second in the U.S.Ive been fighting all over the world. Im very comfortable fighting in the U.S., he said. I dont really think about where Im going to fight, just do my best, and whatever happens I take it because, as a boxer, I need to prepare. I need to be ready to go wherever to fight. Im ready to go anywhere to fight.The 5-9 Commey said Easters height advantage wont be an issue.Well, Im a tall guy and no matter what he does, I can win. Im strong, Commey said. And I can take punches and I can punch as well. I can do all that. If he cant he will lose. I respect the height and his reach and his skills as a boxer.I spar a lot of big guys like (former welterweight titlist) Joshua Clottey and I have the kind of power to excel in the gym and on fight night. I want to follow the tradition of Ghanaian boxing. So Im coming there to make sure, once I get my game plan underway, then Ill victorious. Im coming to put my life on the line and Im going to be the world champion.Nike Flyknit Cheap China .

Thats a talent right there, 50 points in 24 minutes, thats remarkable.Anigwes hot hand and a deep, more experienced -- not to mention close-knit -- Golden Bears team have Cal off to the best start in program history and building for what it hopes is a memorable March run.These women believe they can do something special in the NCAA Tournament four years after Cal reached its first Final Four.Experience is a lot, Anigwe said before a recent practice. Just having experience under your belt, you can improve so much. I feel like if I didnt have the year like I did last year but having that experience is still like, `OK, now I can make my team better. I just want to make my team better in the best way I can.Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb knows Anigwe would have boosted her stat line against Sacramento State on Dec. 8 if she had stayed in the game.She makes extraordinary things look ordinary, Gottlieb said. If you just throw it up there to her, she can finish right or left, she can step through defenders. ... Her efficiency level at scoring is remarkable. If we had wanted to break records, she could have had 70 or 80 if I had played her 40 minutes. Shes a different kind of player than Klay, but the similarity was it was in the flow of the offense, and it was a magical night.Anigwe realizes not every game will present such an opportunity, but the performance did teach the Bears something important.That game just showed that we could play together, she said. That game wasnt really for me. That game was for the guards, and they made me look good at the end of the day.Cal is off to the best start in school history at 10-0 after beating Southern Miss on Monday and is hovering on the bubble of breaking into the Top-25 poll. That unbeaten streak will be on the line in a tough test Tuesday against No. 20 Oklahoma in Las Vegas.Anigwe is accustomed to two or even three defenders swarming her, but now, her supporting cast is regularly contributing. Courtney Range scored a season-best 28 points inn Mondays win.ddddddddddddNBA MVP Stephen Curry was impressed to hear about Anigwes big night on the heels of the Thompson show .Thats pretty incredible, especially in college and the womens game, too, the courts pretty compact, Curry said Tuesday. Thats pretty amazing. Maybe they should just go play 1 on 1 against each other, see who wins.Anigwe is far more comfortable as she begins her second college season.Shes grown so much as a leader, fellow sophomore Chen Yue said. Right now shes on her way to being a captain.Chen! an embarrassed Anigwe interrupted.Thats true, Chen said.Anigwe explains the approach as everyone being unselfish, because when you have selfless people like that on your team and in your life it really impacts how you play and how you are as a person.She is averaging 23.6 points and 9.7 rebounds.I said in the offseason she was the most improved player. What weve seen in the games is that shes had to handle all kinds of defenses, Gottlieb said. Were a very balanced team. We have a lot of assists. She is able to find ways to score at a high rate and other kids are making shots, too. Its not just a Kristine show.And the team is expected to get bigger, too. Gottlieb is due in May with her first child, a boy, and has appreciated the support of her players so far during her pregnancy .She is still wearing heels on the sideline while beginning to mix in some maternity outfits she rented. Its flip-flops before and after games already, though, and Gottlieb is considering sneakers for game time if comfort demands it in the coming months -- Why not? she asked. Mikayla Cowling has suggested a pair of pink Converse.Her players are in it for more than fashion advice, too. Gottlieb has mostly felt good in her second trimester, but during a trip to Nebraska in early December, she rushed off the plane and sprinted to the bathroom because she was sick. Range rubbed her back as she threw up, and Jaelyn Brown handed Gottlieb paper towels. Still others waited on their coach, who has been keeping ginger ale in her office to help her stomach.I look up and half the teams in there, Gottlieb recalled. Theyre in there with me. It was the cutest thing ever. They wouldnt leave. They were very protective, in the airport bathroom. It was super sweet of them. ' ' '
