Date: April 3
Venue: Dubai

These fighters are less popular in the junior light weight division but they also deserve a discussion here. I think the winner of this fight is on a collision course with Oscar Valdez, who recently won the WBC title recently.

What made this fight interesting for me is the almost even betting odds. Bookies are having a hard time predicting a winner so this is a good thing for us, fight fans.

Current betting odds: Jamel Herring 1.93   Carl Framton 1.78

I don't know the fighters that well but what's intriguing to me is Frampton coming off as favorite for the fight. Herring is taller of the two and with longer reach too. Their age gap isn't that far and neither of them are known for their KO power if we look at their stats.

TBH, i'm not too familiar with this two boxers that's why i'm waiting for those users here to comment what they know about these boxers.

Have seen Oscar Valdez lately and the amazing win he had with Miguel and if we can take a good look on the winner of this fight then i think we have a better view on who will win in case their is a unification.

I go with Carl Frampton here, although he is at a disadvantage in height, I think he is the more experience fighter, although you can argue that he has been in a lot of wars, two with Leo Santa Cruz.

Problem with Herring is that yes he is too tall, but he don't know how to fight tall and then both of them are feather fisted, just look at the percentage of their knockouts. But I think Carl will play smart here, he has fight taller fighter but not as tall as Herring though, but I think he can adjust and win by decision. Not expecting any knockouts.

[Dave1]

Yes, it seems that this fight is really close by looking at the betting odds, which Frampton is the slight favorite. So even the money line is already attractive almost at 1.9 odds for the challenger. And with that said, I will go with Frampton, the fight with LSC is already a war, he beat him the first time, but lost in the rematch and then Leo didn't give him the chance for a trilogy.

This is a good evenly matched fight. The undercard is also interesting because we will see Donnie Nietes resume his career after years of inactivity.

I'm leaning towards Frampton beating out Herring. Herring is an awkward fighter and he will make it an ugly fight. They are both relatively old for the sport and have a lot of wear and tear. I expect Frampton to use his better skillset to win a decision.

With the mention of Donnie Nietes, I am more keen to watch the whole event because the undercards might be interesting than the main event. I would lead on to Frampton considering the stats mostly favors him against Herring, this are old tigers, they might be old but they are still dangerous and whoever comes out on top is going to be lauded in my opinion.

Ohh, you must be Filipino to know/follow the career of Donnie "Ahas" Nietes or just a hard core fan of this sweet science  .

This is interesting for Nietes, let us see if he still has it to become world champion again.

With all the comments favoring Frampton, i think i will be backing him ML.

Look interested, this week have another fight Murodjon Akhmadaliev vs Ryosuke Iwasa bantamweight IBF and WBA.

but Jamel Herring vs Carl Frampton is more interested me. I have some statistic from source

JAMEL HERRING

Nationality: American
Born: October 30, 1985
Height: 5-10
Reach: 70 inches
Total fights: 24
Record: 22-2 with 10 knockouts

CARL FRAMPTON

Nationality: Irish
Born: February 21, 1987
Height: 5-5
Reach: 62 inches
Total fights: 30
Record: 28-2 with 16 knockouts

When I look at that stat, I will choose Frampton, he will create new history if he can fight with short-range.

I still torn between the two fighters, and I will say it's a 50/50 fight. I like Frampton, but the thing is that just maybe after so many fights, maybe Herring is the fresher of the two. But both are no longer in their prime, mid-30's boxer, maybe someone will show their real age in this fight. While Herring is tall for this weight division and maybe he can learn to use his reach and height advantage. But there are reports that he isn't even in Dubai yet, and he might have a problem adjusted to the weather come fight night.

And since these two doesn't possessed a knock out punch, most likely it will go 12 full rounds. Maybe a split decision to Herring (unpopular opinion, hehehe). Also in the undercard is another Filipino, Albert Pagara.

Weird shift of the odds now,

Herring @1.80
Frampton @1.98

Used to be Frampton as the favourite, but now Herring's odd has jump. And majority thinks that Frampton will be winning this match.

So it's time to put some bet on Frampton now. Juicy odds as well for "Winner & exact rounds".

Perhaps the shift was due to the fact the Herring is the bigger guy, tall and has the reach advantage. I haven't followed the fight as well, but looking at the fight in papers, Herring has the advantage, even if both fighters are in their mid 30's already. This fight is this weekend so another great one and this division has also a lot of good champions. So eventually, whoever who wins will fight the division's other belt holder.

Maybe some whales put big money on Herring to win here, hehehe. As I have said in the initially, I favour Herring and he might outlast Frampton, and uses his jabs and his reach early to keep Frampton from making it a rugged fight. But Herring can fight inside as well, but it will be more advantageous for Frampton if the fight is a brawl, which Herring will avoid in the fight half of the fight.

I'm not familiar with these fighers but seeing the betting odds, I guess it makes me interested on putting a bet since that odds tells that it could be an even fight and we might witness a good fight. With that odds, I'm thinking a DRAW is always possible so it's worth a shot.

@Jating , what betting site did you see the odds?

Frampton would really be on reach disadvantage but with experience and knockdown power then he had really that edge but he would really be needing on some infight kind of pace or else

if it would be used up with some technical fighting from Herring then he would really be having a hard time on catching up with points but if he would really able to force it out
to make inside fight then he would really be have the advantage can possibly take him down.

With these odds? Its too close which is understandable but i would bet on Frampton this time.

wow, the odds are really close. let me see, i think i will place a bet on herring here. at stake it is 1.84 - 1.94 (Herring-Frampton). yes, Herring has the advantage and i hope he will use such advantage to his favour.
but sometimes - small are terrible fighters having frampton a lot of KOs here as compared to Herring. this is better to watch rather than exhibition fights though

Herring had longer sleeves, If he fight with longer gap, possible his jebs will shorting smooth on Frampton chin. the only thing Frampton to do is encircling into the corner of the ring

That shows how evenly matched this fight is. Maybe since Jamel Herring is the defending champion more people are starting to favor him. Depending on which side you favor you can find a bookmaker that has them as a slight underdog right now.

Frampton has the extra motivation of being the first Irish fighter of winning a world championship in three weight divsions. I don't know how much of a factor that will be but I would like to see him make history.

From sportsbet.io

The odds change, but still the same, swing odds to Herring:



ML is already attractive for Frampton, but then again, very difficult to see how this fight will turn out. Herring is the defending champion, and the physical advantage. But mentality, for me Frampton has more heart. And he is also gunning for history here, to be the first Irish to win belts in three weight classes.

Here are the boxing records of these great boxers.
They got both 2 losses, and age is almost the same.
I am surprised with Jamel Herring which he got the advantage on height and reach, which is kinda huge number advantage.
Seems the odds are now flipped with Jamel Herring, but overall the odds is good, not that too much huge difference.

I'm going with Jamel Herring this time even he got less experience in bouts to compare to Carl Frampton.
