annoying for his opponent, pay him a bit extra

I get the emphasis on managing your body and the grind to get to a fight but if it took a while to get here you gotta do better. If you’re training and can’t do a boxing workout that’s essential for your prep bc of injury you know this right after the injury.

I wish Herring would reply, "Sorry about your hand, but I'm fighting Shakur Stevenson next!" I don't know why the champion was traveling to fight without fans in the 1st place!

Why wait until nearly a week before the fight to announce a postponement?

And hearing that Herring or his team never bought plane tickets is just as alarming.

It's also known that Bob didn't put up much money for this fight because it seems as though the other side was hoping to leave him with the smoking gun (paying the rest of the money) and it didn't work out.

This whole thing is a mess but the alleged March 27th places a nice bandage over the gunshot wound for now.

Herring should just cancel the Frampton fight all together - and then get beat up by Shakur!

Is this based on the Philadelphia “freak hotel injury” or the latest “freak” injury?

Give me a break.

So he knew he had hand problems and waited to be 10 days out from the fight to take care of it? There's deft more to this...probably had issues making weight

Frampton has a history of pulling out of fights

This is definitely not a good look for Frampton. Irresponsible on his part.
