Carl Frampton could not offer much against Jamel Herring

Carl Frampton had his minor moments in the ring, but it was mostly Herring’s night. From the very first round, the champion seemed focused and didn’t waste his energy in faking jabs. Instead, he took his time before knocking out Frampton.

In the process, Herring also suffered a brutal cut over his eye. It could have been a beneficial factor for Frampton. However, Herring bounced back from the drawback and remained stuck to this game plan.

He counter-attacked Frampton and applied body shots at the perfect intervals. While the Irish veteran tried to fight it out, he couldn’t offer much from his end and fell prey to the wrong end of a lopsided beat down.
