      Probably, but it's not because he has better skillset but because that mother****ing dinosaur needs to fight somebody his own size. I'm not a fan of match ups like this

        Easter is still a little green but he's got about 5" in height and over 10" in reach on Loma (not to mention already being in a larger weight class) so I'd favor Easter slightly right now. Loma is impressive but we've already seen him lose so it's not like he's invincible. Easter by close decision.

          Let's see how Easter handles 5'5" Shafikov - if he can't neutralise the relentless but not particularly skilled Denis I'd put money on Loma having his way.

            I'm really eager for that one. I personally don't think it relates to the Loma fight at all since Shaf fight completely different (he's more Porter than Loma). But, I do think it'll be a good challenge and will show if Easter can adapt, as well as handle inside pressure.

            The dicey thing for Easter is that he likes to fight inside with those long arms and, because he's decent at it, he gets himself in inside battles. I don't know if he can do that with Shaf. He might need to stay disciplined and use his range.
            This'll be a great fight.

                Mmmm. Yeah stylistically they are very different of course, but what I meant was I'd like to see if Easter can really use his length effectively - cos I think that's what he'll need to do against Loma. But yeah, Easter vs Shafikov is a fight I'm very much looking forward to myself. The little Russian really is a handful - tough as nails and relentless as they come. He can be handled, but to date in my eyes only Vasquez really managed to neutralise him

                  When loma lost he was not the same fighter he is now. Being his first fight he was unaware of certain tactics. Right now, he sits down on his punches, doesn't let people clinch like he did salido. He's way different, nothing easter does right now tells me he would be a problem for loma. People forget loma is 5'7, that's taller than manny and bradley..I think he would do fine at 135

                    You gonna hang pay that bet in your sig or what homie. I dont really care about the e-money to be honest, its just the point. I would have paid you had Golovkin lost regardless if I agreed with the judges.
