Easter didnt even stop Luis Cruz

If he beats 5'5" Shafikov it will probably be the best win of his career

I thought easter was overly cautious against Cruz. He had Cruz badly hurt in several later rounds and didn't jump on him. Maybe he didn't want to make a mistake fighting at home.

I feel Shafikov is in a bad style matchup against Easter. Not just because he is giving away a lot in size, but his team is sending a pressure fighter against a skilled counterpuncher. I would have directed him towards Linares/Crolla.
