    I think Shafikov has better movement that Zhakiyanov

    Idk much about both fighters, is it worth it to go and see this fight, cause I will be 50 mins away from Toledo in the end of June?

    Yeah sure Shafikov is a come forward, fun ,pressure fighter and his style should mix nicely with Easter's, but it's up to you

    Not a bad fight but it seems to me like Easter wouldn't face the top of the division in some time.

    Good fight.
    Real test for Easter.
    Shafikov gave Barthelemy a real tough fight and Bsrthelemy had similar proportions to Easter

    Barthelemy was a slapper and couldn't crack an egg. Easter has more power than the Cuban.

    Decent scrap this, hopefully have a different commentator who doesn't repeat "Robert Easter Junior" every 5 seconds. Almost lost a TV during the Cruz fight.

    Good fight for both men. Easter Jr should win he's a freak at 135.

    I have no idea how Easter makes lightweight.

    This is the perfect fight to see what Easter's level is- Shafikov doesn't lose to bad fighters. If he's smart, he fights to his advantages since Shafikov can be outboxed at range.

    Easter kind of flies under the radar, but he's a dangerous, world caliber 135. I don't think he's Mikey good, or as skilled as Linares, but he brings unique challenges to the table vs anyone there.
