The WBO junior lightweight title is on the line in Atlanta on Saturday night in a bit of a crossroads matchup
It may have fallen a bit under the radar this weekend but nonetheless, the top two fighters in a talented 130-pound division will face off on Saturday in Atlanta with the WBO junior lightweight title at stake.
Fresh off a thrilling knockout of two-division champion Carl Frampton, Jamel Herring (23-2, 11 KOs) will look for the fourth defense of his WBO title when he welcomes rising star and former featherweight champion Shakur Stevenson (16-0, 8 KOs) inside State Farm Arena (10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
The main storyline entering the fight has been the pausing (or dissolution, depending upon your vantage point) of a growing friendship between them thanks to their overall boxing circles.
