PBC on ESPN: Herring vs Shafikov...and Cintron but who cares.

Another Saturday of slim and none as far as live fights but this main could be decent. Sharp and rangy 15-0 Jamel Herring takes on 36-2-1 Denis Shafikov. At 30 yrs old Herring needs to get to work and this is a nice step. Shafikov will also literally need a ladder.

Patryk Szymanski 15-0 fights once crushed title challenger Wilky Campfort 21-2 middleweights. Frank De Alba 18-2-2 is coming off an absolute bloody war takes on Jonathan Perez 35-14. Don't blink.

Cintron continues his off air "comeback" against another .500 fighter. Cintron says he want's to fight at 147. Those are deep waters at this stage.

Oh and we get some TEDDY talk ;D

Sounds like a good night. Maybe we will get to see cintron fight or highlights if other fights run short.

I love shafikov, came over to scotland to fight in aberdeen where i was living at the time for the euro title and just outclassed the home town guy, hats off to him and I always wish him well now... dont think this is on canadian tv though :( but i am supporting shafikov !

Haha I tune in and it's Teddy Atlas in an Uncle Sam hat screaming "I want you!":confused:;D Haven't seen any of these guys, but it's boxing and the greatest sports commentator of all time, I'll take it.

It's hard not to like what Shafikov brings. Perfect style to rattle a tall guy in his biggest test. Herring sharp though, may just slice and dice.

Teddy has lost his shat ;D again. Campfort vs Szymanski up first. Campfort could be in very deep against a babyface.

Not much steam from Szmanski. Strong down the middle but workmanlike with the jab. Hard to make out Campfort, just hard to believe he got a shot at Jermall charlo!

Leo Santa Cruz in a Corona commercial. Seems legit. Time for someone to step it up, Campfort in trouble early 4th!

Szymanski has the body language of a guy who might fade badly on another night... bit loose and wide rolling out

Ha! Campfort with nice right hand buzzed him.

4 rounds to go. And Szymanski already looking gassed

Campfort taking 5 6 7 rounds here. Szymanski looks like a fitness center boxing class aficionado when pressed hard.

Ho hum, looked like that was going to become a decent fight around the mid point.

Low blow and hook on the break combo has Campfort receiving a time out from ref :-X Both kinda dogged it last round. Szymanski is where he is going top fighter wise me thinks. 98-92 twice and 99-91 all Szymanski

Szymanski 98-92

He looks mediocre as can be, but he might land a Canelo fight on the back of this performance and make more than a lot of good pros ever will.

If promos win fights Herring will retire undefeated ;D. Good piece on background. This should be good

Once he agrees to the CW and Canelo getting all of the green M&Ms..we know it's in the works!

Herring looks a little in the weeds 1st round. Good opener for Shafikov

Herring looks lost. Like he doesn't know what to do. He's in over his head

Boom! Teddy is a soothsayer. Herring so far has not showed up and gets caught cleeean for kd! All Shafikov this early

Ref all over Shafikov for head and low blow that wasn't. Herring doing zero to keep him honest so far. 4-0

Teddy should direct horror movies ;D. Definitely didn't see this total domination coming! Breaking down badly

dont have this on tv and my internet connection is so crap i cant stream... is shafikov doing well ?

He's pretty much dominated, has Herring hurt again in the 9th here.

Herring has nothing left. To his credit he doesn't want to quit

9th round and he's won all plus a KD. Can't you read son ;D. Shafikov has not stopped and buzzsaws him inside in 9th. Corner asks for jab in 10th and threatens to yank Herring at least 5 times. Kinda feel bad for the dude

Takes a big man to interview after arse kicking like that. Gotta respect that.

Found out I had this fight on Tivo. they made a meal out of Herring being in the army but he was outclassed by a rugged southpaw. Herring fought the wrong fight.
