33 year old Junior lightweight Jamel Herring (20-2, 10 KOs) grabbed the WBO title with an impressive 12 round unanimous decision over Masayuki Ito (25-2-1, 13 KOs) on Saturday night at the Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Florida. Herring boxed a very strategic fight and maintained the upper hand throughout.. Ito struggled with the southpaw style of the New Yorker and couldn’t find a foothold into the bout.. Scores were 116-112, 118-110, 118-110.
The former marine rose to the occasion in front of the 3000 in attendance, dedicating the victory to his late daughter Ariyahah, who would have turned 10 on this very night..
