Both undefeated and Ian has a lot of finishes. People have said we haven’t seen Shavkat in a five rounder and whether he looks better or worse with more time we will see but I think taking a fight against Shavkat with only a three week camp is dangerous for Ian. I can see Shavkat submitting or winning a decision just based on all the training Shavkat has been doing as an advantage.
