Frampton against Herring WBO.

Saturday night in Dubai there will be, this interesting challenge between Herring(22,2,10ko) and Frampton(28,2,16ko) that will air onESPN for Top Rank, for the WBO super featherweight.

For sure they are two of the best super featherweights around at the moment.The boy from North Ireland, has been world champion of the supergallants and featherweight, it would be incredible to gird himself with another belt in another weight category; Herring for his part, is a humble guy so much work and little exhibitionism, he has been a soldier in the American army.

Frampton beats; he is smart, he hurts, clear in this category he hurts less, he has met strong people like Leo Santa Cruz, with whom they have given life to two epic challenges, solid boxer, with a good jaw and ready to give a show.

Herring 5,10 is solid too, he has a defeat before the limit against a light weight such as Shafikov; he is very tall compared to Carl, 5,5.

It’s going to be a good challenge, it’s one of those challenges where we give an advantage to the American fighter because he’s left handed and tall, but beware, he’ll have to keep the Irish guy at a distance, otherwise it could be big problems. So a slight advantage to Herring, but by a whisker, it could very well be one of those 50/50 challenges;

Carl brings deadly blows, straight punches, hooks; with a good technique, he is really solid; Jamel is a solid technician, surely he hurts less than the Irishman, but we think that if he will make a good game plan with an adequate preparation, to anticipate the sudden attacks of Carl, we will see a great match, which in the end is what we would always like to see, where two athletes who are roughly equivalent, give life to a great show. It must also be said that the American is in his natural category, the Irishman has arrived there to the sound of punches and with the passage of time, but we repeat it will be a great match.
