2012 United States Olympian Jamel Herring got the night of action at Barclays Center started with a workmanlike four round unanimous decision win over Calvin Smith.
Scores in the lightweight bout were 40-35 and 40-36 twice.
Coram, New York’s Herring took much of the first round to get acclimated to his foe, but by the end of the opening frame he began tagging and rocking Smith with straight lefts. In the second, Herring moved his focus to the body, visibly hurting Smith, but the Pritchard, Alabama product hung tough. In the third, Smith emptied his tank trying to make something happen, but two near knockdowns by Herring continued to add to his lead, and while Smith wasn’t able to turn things around, making it to the final bell was a moral victory of sorts.
