    Easter Jr. fairly humble in victory, giving himself a B- for his performance. I agree with that grading. He won clearly but it wasn't an easy night.

    118-110 I can listen too, I'd say you're probably wrong.. but I can see the arguments that swing the 3 of the 5 rounds I gave Shaf over to Easter.. hell I said they were close.. but **** off not giving him a round.

    I know boxing is a subjective sport - and I know the scoring system isn't perfectly scientific...but how is it one of the only sports in the world where judges can regularly turn in scorecards that even neophyte armchair fans could do a more measured job of?

    Easter won, but I can't imagine how infuriating it must be to work as hard and throw as many punches and apply as much pressure as Shafikov did, and be treated by the judges as if he was schooled.

    Jesus Christ, you are an absolute joke of a poster. He fought his heart out against an elite fighter in a good and competitive affair. Then again you're almost as bad as those two judges.

    I had Easter winning 8-4. I hate that an honest win is going to be overshadowed by crazy scorecards so wide that Shafikov never had a chance. Dude needed 4 knockdowns to get a draw on those two cards. Ridiculous.

    Combine that with the Clark robbery, and it's hard to blame dudes who'd rather not travel if they can get away with it.

    120-108 was dumb but that happens all the time in boxing.

    Easter is damn good though, I'd rather have Garcia-Easter than Garcia-Broner

    If Shafikov had been the American and PBC A side he would have been given the decision.

    It was a close fight with a lot of shifts in momentum, but Shafikov got jerked honestly. The state of the cards were horrendous. This is a fighter who should've taken titles off of two different champions now. Barthelemy and Easter are paper until further notice. Which is a shame considering Easter did a lot better than I expected. Was not an easy fight for somebody as green as he is.
