x3 on Teddy.


Herring needs to dig deep, put his head in Shafikov's chest, plant his feet, and swing for the fences. His jab isn't going to set anything up from a distance at this point, he is getting outworked and beaten to a pulp.

Shafikov his so short. Not sure if Herring can actually put his head of Shafikov's chest.

And thats it.

Dang it. Early stoppage.

Bad call by the corner. Let your fighter go out on his shield. Let him fight for his life with will and leather.

Good call by the corner. In the 9th, I was thinking about how much this was damaging his future.

What is Shafikov's ethnicity? They keep calling him Russian but he looks Asian.

Shafikov is a Bashkir they're indigenous to the Ural mountains.

Two-time world title challenger Denis Shafikov (37-2-1, 20KOs), a 2-1 underdog coming in, was too much for unbeaten rising Olympian Jamel Herring (15-1, 8KOs) for a tenth round TKO win in a lightweight bout.

The crowd knows what's up.

Herring mighta turned it around with a knockout at the end of the 10th. At least give the man a shot.

Depends who it is but being able to live a healthy life, raise your kids, talk like an intelligent human being. Those things carry more value and glory than a moment in a boxing ring.

Really sad seeing such a great guy like Herring take a beating like that. But this was a mismatch when they signed the contract and when they had Shaf as the underdog, that was a joke played by someone. Too many people are wined, dined, and seduced by unbeaten records. Hope Herring recovers. He really go a late start to his pro career. Wasn't on the same skill and talent level as Shaf.

Yea, I mean there is a fine line and has to be a balance, but you also rob a fighter of the opportunity to do something great in the ring, those moments when you fight through and persevere make you stronger.
