Really nice fight this one, I rate both guys, size and power are with Commey, but Shafikovs as tough as nails and a relentless MFer. Going with the Shafikov UD, I can't see Commey getting the KO and I reckon Shafikovs greater top flight experience and durability carry the day.

Great freaking matchup, really looking forward to it, you gotta favor Shavikov because of his experience but Commey is one tough cookie.

Commey can only win this bout via knock out because the fight is in Russia ie Shafikov's hometown,the judges will favour Shafikov.I forsee a very tough fight

Not necessarily man, I know there's been some dodgy ****, especially doping accusations against guys who have beat the home guy, but there's also been a few that have gone the right way. This is the first that springs to mind...

I thought Commey edged out Easter (though it was close) and Shafikov has been on a nice run, both guys bring power, aggression and toughness. Could be a real war.

Too much reach. Shafikov always has to walk through a blizzard of punches, because he's so short. That's how we know he's so tough. Commey knows what he's about, he'll use his reach and out land him. Commey, barring any weird stuff.
