Though the friendship attachments between these two have been overblown by some media, there still is a level of awareness between the two.

Jamel Herring’s Boxing Betting Outlook vs Stevenson

Jamel Herring is eleven years the senior of his upcoming opponent, and perhaps people are biting into that a bit too much. The oddsmakers crafting this boxing betting line for this bout is cartoonishly off the mark in my opinion.

I understand Stevenson as a favorite but not to this scale. Not when you consider the pugilistic profile of an established fighter who may posit is coming off of a career-best performance when he beat Carl Frampton as a small underdog.

Jamel Herring has held the belt since May 2019 and has logged multiple title defenses so far.

Having only suffered a pair of setbacks so far in his career, Herring is presently riding a seven-fight win streak.

Shakur Stevenson’s Boxing Odds in Super Featherweight

Shakur Stevenson held gold as the WBO featherweight champion and maintains an unblemished pro record. He looks to ascend to a higher weight category to cement himself with that organization once again.

Stevenson last captured the interim gold and looks to graduate to the status of an undisputed champion when he steps into the ring this weekend.

Both warriors have stoppage rates that hover around the fifty percent mark and even the sub fifty percent mark.

To that point, I think there’s value in going with the prop bet on this fight going the distance at -190 in the DraftKings boxing odds.
