    Ito by KO, because he's just all around the better fighter, and I think Herring is too vulnerable and weight drained down at 130.

    I am quite surprised that Ito lost. It seems that Ito was sloppy this time and he came a bit unprepared to what his opponent would offer. I don't think Herring is that special, but I am still happy that he won. He has through a lot to achieve it and seems to be a good guy too.

    Correct me if im wrong but Ito has no amateur experience? At some point that will factor at the top level of the sport. Herring isn't a standout talent but he is a well schooled boxer who has excellent pedigree from his amateur background. It went like I expected it to.

    Seems like Ito was a bit of a Red Herring
