One sided affair.
SO many people should watch the movement of Shafikov. Learn how to move their head. Reminded me of Frasier.
Denis is a top guy. Underestimate him at your peril.
his match maker should be fired. He had no where the experience to fight this guy and no power to keep him off, when your at 50% Ko against low level opposition you have little power. his technique was poor also. this prospect is going nowhere.
Agree. He had heart but very much an arm puncher and too square on to generate power from the hips and legs.
Oddsmakers, according to Teddy Atlas, had this 2-1 for Herring. I hope Shafikov placed a bet.
