Put it on the Garcia/TBA undercard in June. But Easter may feel like he's a main event after his last fight in Toledo. Bring it back to Toledo.

This is a great fight and a really good test for Easter. 135 is starting to come alive again

Easter Jr better demand VADA testing for this one. Shafivov's work-rate is incredible along with recent failed drug test involving the PED-Meldonium against Russians its only wise to avoid a Wilder-Pedvetkin type situation.

Demand Soviet comrade take VADA, Shakifov's workrate increases every fight now!

Easter better not hang around too much with Broner. He's a bad influence.

Shafikov is not elite, but he's a legit contender with solid fundamentals and a very high workrate and he's tough as nails. If Easter fights the same way he fought against Cruz, he's in for a rude awakening.

That's what i said.

Good fight, but not great. Shafikov is small and Easter is tall, real tall. Easter will lean back and Denis will punch short. Denis has to do all the work and Easter has a big, long right hand.

Easter has to use his height advantage to win by decision... Shafikov is a tough nut to crack.

He's been with Broner since he got in the game. He's gotten where he is today hanging with Broner. If Broner hasn't been a bad influence on his thus far why would he be one now?
