Undefeated 2012 U.S. Olympian Jamel Herring (15-0, 8 KOs) scored a unanimous decision (100-88, 100-88, 99-89) over Colombia's Luis Eduardo Flores (21-3, 17 KOs) in a 10-round lightweight bout in the main event of Tuesday's Premier Boxing Champions TOE-TO-TOE TUESDAYS on FS1 and BOXEO DE CAMPEONES on FOX Deportes fight card at Sands Event Center in Bethlehem, PA.
Herring, who represented the United States at the 2012 Olympic games after winning the U.S. National Amateur title the same year, commanded the action throughout.
"I knew if I boxed smart it would show, but I didn't think it would be that wide a margin," said Herring. "He's a very experienced fighter."
Herring added, "I was trying to get rid of him early because he's a dangerous guy. If you let a guy like that sit around too long there's always the risk that you might get clipped with something and regret it."
Herring, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, hopes the win Tuesday night will launch him into world title contention in 20
