Going for herring but he might have bit off more than he can chew.

Herring is such an unknown to me still this fight should be interesting to see where he's at. Could see this going a lot of ways, but I think I gotta lean towards Shafikov with what I know Shafikov is capable of.

Good fight! Herring's the truth if he can pass this tough test.

I've never seen Herring as a pro, i remember he got schooled by Daniyar in london, looking to see this fight.

Herring might very well win but this is a significant step up for him. Good value on Shafikov at +170 in my opinion.

Jamel Herring - War Veteran Appreciative Of ESPN Opportunity:

By Keith Idec - Jamel Herring couldn't turn down this opportunity. The 2012 American Olympian has wanted to test himself against a legitimate lightweight contender for quite some time. Fighting Russian Denis Shafikov in an ESPN main event on Independence Day weekend also means more to Herring than it would to most boxers...
