Comments Thread For: Denis Shafikov Expects To Find Success at 135-Pounds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There have been a lot of lightweights that have recently made the move north to the 140-pound division, where lucrative bouts await. However, one fighter is doing the complete opposite.

While some might think that would be a ludicrous idea, Denis Shafikov is very certain he will find just as much success regardless.

Shafikov will make his debut at the lightweight limit on March 16th, when he fights Alisher Rahimov in a scheduled 10 round bout at the Sports Palace “Znamya” in Noginsk, Russia.

I'd like to see Denis Shafikov vs. Adrien Broner.

I think the result would surprise a lot of people.

I love watching Shafikov and he had good power at 140, at 135 it should be great. His swarming style, varity of punches, body attack and head movement could be very difficult for Broner i agree.

He's rated IBF #2 at 140lbs so im disappointed he didn't go for a title shot there first. He would stand a good chance of beating Peterson and it would be an amazing fight to watch with their styles.
