‘This Is Horrendous’: Boxing Fans React to Violent Incident Involving Robert Easter Jr

Robert Easter Jr. is an elite modern-era fighter who recently capitulated to a dreadful incident. On Sunday night, the 31-year-old was robbed and shot thrice. Post that, he was immediately taken to the hospital and also underwent surgery to remove bullet fragments.

This incident completely stirred the fight universe and everyone is praying for a speedy recovery of Easter Jr. The former titlist was an active fighter who shifted his attention to the super-lightweight frame in the last few years. That said, many expected him to square off this year as he only contended once in 2021.

However, with this heart-wrenching incident coming into the play, Easter Jr.’s return seems to be in dark clouds.

Citing this incident, many fans came up with their opinion on Twitter.

One fan wrote, “Damn! Fingers crossed he recovers and they catch the guys who did it” 

“Wtf. Hope he recovers fully. That’s ridiculous.” wrote another fan.

Easter Jr. only lost to Mikey Garcia in his career. That said, a fan brought that point into consideration, giving a heartfelt message.

He wrote, “Only been beat by Mikey garcia”

Another fan wrote, “Damn hope he make it” 

“Poor guy hopefully he gets well soon. I do see how some of these fighters flaunt their wealth and still claim to maintain ties to the streets. Once you’re a millionaire you really need to start hanging out with hedge fund managers and golfers… The streets are full of envy” a fan added.

Another Twitter user added, “This is horrendous. Glad he’s going to make it”
