We had a solid weekend of championship boxing, nothing that blew the doors off on the MEGA-EVENT level or anything, but some good fights, good performances, and plenty to think about coming out of what we saw.
Jamel Herring
just down to the fact Frampton was too small at 130, or that Frampton is just a bit past it in general. Those are facts, I’m not hyping this as a crazy Superman win for Jamel, but he was
really good in that fight.
Herring (23-2, 11 KO) was sharp, smart, and worked his game plan very effectively, and the plan that Brian McIntyre and Co. came up with was right about perfect. Not only did Jamel use his superior height and reach, but he was throwing (and landing) consistent check hooks at moments they knew Frampton would have to reach to try to get inside instead of just tying up, and when they fighters did tie up, Herring was clearly determined not to let Frampton rough him up in there, and Carl definitely tried.
