That was a faded Frampton that he beat. Stevenson is at least 1 and likely 2 levels above THAT Frampton.

Agree, but that doesn't mean Jamel can't go to that level. I think Shakur's people are thinking he is young & fresh & that as Jamel is 35 his reflexes won't allow him to be competitive with a young dog, but I would guess his corner have strategies in place for that. I think Jamel has to put pressure on Shakur & try to force him into fights he doesn't want to have. I would agree Shakur is favourite but Jamel is one live dog.

I could see herring upsetting stevenson. Stevenson still sort of fights like a really good amateur and hes fought a lot of undermatched comp. herring is experienced and he he shows up has a good shot
esp once the rounds start going by
