I wondered what he was doing fighting in Australia, guess it backfired badly
Aussie boxer wins by 2 points in Australia!! I guess that’s a comfortable win for Herring anywhere else.
The guy received the decision because he won the fight. Trust me I won 100 of them.
What do you have to say about the judge – I assume a local – who scored for Herring. Is he biased towards foreigners? Let’s say you did win 100 fights, what has that got to do with how the judges cored this one?
That’s not good, Herring is a true warrior and great American. I would root for him against anyone.
Their known to rob you blind down under, but I’m glad it was Herring!
Maybe a local rematch Jackson England vs Liam Wilson 2 in the near future make or break fight for both of them
