Comments Thread For: Easter Fends Off Shafikov, Wins Unanimous Decision to Keep Title

That 120 card was on point.

Easter Jr and Herring are training partners. They won't fight

Stafford trains Easter?

Easter starting to sound too much like Broner, hopefully he doesn't end up too much like him. After some of these cards tonight, I'm hoping we don't see many more fights in Ohio

Indeed, Easter even has some facial expressions reminiscent of AB.

Eugene Grant and Jamie Garayua with the puke worthy cards. Grant also gave Sturm a 116-112 card over Geale all those years ago

When did Easter start talking like Broner?

Why do it though? That is what I do not understand.

Where is the problem in giving Shafikov the rounds he clearly won? Like rounds 5 & 6 I believe were clear Shafikov rounds.

Even if you were bias or on someones payroll surely you'd at least say give Shafikov a few rounds to make it look less suspect?

Right man won I just struggle understanding wtf these judges are doing half the time or the logic behind it

100%.

These scorecards don't get the criticism they should get cuz "the right guy won", but they should get massive criticism on the two judges in this fight or any fight that are THAT far off base with what everyone witnessed.

F#cked up situation & one of the many reasons casual fans & sports fans get frustrated with boxing & think of it in a similar way as pro wrestling.

Yeah the right guy winning doesn't make make those bull***** cards disappear.

That's what I don't get, I would call it corruption, but they're not trying to cover it up, so it must just be extreme incompetence man. Those were some of the craziest scorecards I've seen in years...and to put that into perspective, we see **** decisions nearly every week in this sport.

[Eff Pandas]

120-108 x 2 and some posters here get upset when others talk about robbery?

Well technically nothing was taken from Shaf cuz its not like he deserved to win, but its disrespectful to both fighters & the sport as a whole to score a fight THAT f#cking wrong regardless if the right guy won.

I wouldn't argue a draw much, or something like 7 rounds to 5 or 8-4 for Easter. No shutout. Easter is a good B- boxer, skillwise.

Lol little russian didnt have a chance
