Shafikov has fought most of his career above 135 so even though he's not tall for 135 he's sill a solid lightweight. Vazquez barely beat Quintero not that long ago and Shafikov is a better than him in almost every respect excerpt for maybe punching power. I would t be surprised at all if Vazquez's weak ass reign comes to a end on Feb 22Comment
