Broadway Boxing, presented by DiBella Entertainment, returns to the Edison Ballroom in New York City, on Tuesday, November 7, for “Heroes On The Hudson” to support the veterans of the United States Armed Forces. The evening will kick off with five amateur bouts, each featuring an NYPD officer or military veteran, and will conclude with four world-class professional bouts. In the main event, former WBO junior lightweight world champion and US Marine, Jamel Herring (23-4, 11 KOs) returns to the ring for the first time in over a year to begin his quest for a second world title versus the unbeaten Nick Molina (13-0, 5 KOs). The professional boxing portion of the card will air live exclusively on DAZN.
“I thought I could stay away, but I miss the excitement and action of a good fight. And of course, I’ve missed the fans,” said Herring. “But what’s really driving me is the opportunity to fight on Veterans Day week to honor the men and women I served with. This event is for a great charitable cause, and my focus is to become a world champion yet again. I can’t wait to step back into the ring and give it my all.”
His last two losses were to excellent fighters. I think at his age and with the amount of talent in his weight area, I doubt he will make it to the top..but based on who beat him….he may not be as past it as one might think. He could have a couple of decent efforts left in him.
I think Herring is probably in the same boat as Abner Mares last year. Has a good job calling fights and doesn’t really need the money, but sitting there watching so many has made him miss the competition.
Calling fights isn’t exactly consistent work. I’m thinking he needs the money and with SS moving up in weight, he figures he might can beat the other top lightweights.
Jamel is a cool dude. Unlike Jamaal Bowman, who needs to be expelled.
I like Jamel Herring. He is a cool dude. I hope he wins his next fight.
Man, you never fail to incite others, but I have got to agree with you on both Jamal’s.
Herring seems like a good dude, and he was clearly a good Marine.
Best of luck for his remaining boxing career.
