    Completely different levels of fighter.

    Nagaev is a tough SOB but ceilings out at "FNF" whereas Shafikov is a legitimate contender on the world scene.

    You can overhear Reiss saying the fight reminded him of Abdulsalamov v Perez

    Was rooting for Nugaev, sux for him. Shafikov is too strong in every department.

    Shafikov has many excellent combinations in his arsenal, but the right hook on the body and immediate follow-up right uppercut on the bottom of the jaw shown there in the slow motion replay is a real beaut.

    Are you going to put up Brook Porter Betting page? A few guys are asking for it including me.

    Shafikov has earned a rematch with IBF champion Miguel Vazquez, after Vazquez makes a relatively easy defense against Mickey Bey Jr. on the Mayweather vs. Maidana II undercard.

    Shafikov gave Vazquez his toughest (and up there with his least boring) fight in the last six years, since Vazquez lost to Canelo.

    Shafikov was good as always.

    Was little worried about Nagaev, he took a little bit too much tonight. Hopefully he is alright.

    But Shafikov will have difficulties with Vazguez "the running rabbit" again.
