Jemele Herring and Shakur Stevenson, they overlap with colleagues, with trainers. Andre Ward, we have talked about it all week, of asking Jemele. What I'm seeing right now from Jemele Herring, he's sitting back right now, trying to box with Stevenson. And not allowing Jemele Herring to get anything back. There's a body shot right hand from Shakur, and then goes. The bright lights here at State Farm Arena. Left hand comes in from Shakur. He has to make Jemele believe that he can't win this fight. Breaking down, and found his rhythm, and found his mark, quickly, in his first round. Now he's got Jemele thinking, trying to figure out what to do next. Margins and outlanding opponents throughout his career, at a 3.6 to 1 ratio. The taller guy is the bigger guy, it's not necessarily true. Shakur looks a lot stronger than Jemele Herring to me right now. It's not a good look, fellas. It's not. Just watch that left hand come over the top right now. From Shakur. He's dangerous with that left hand, and he's dangerous with the right hook. And Shakur Stevenson is doing the right thing, by marching forward behind the right jab. 1-2, backs it up with a southpaw right hook as well. And then from range, back to the jab. Good work. You know, that's what time it is right now. It's not personal. This is competition. Jemele Herring, you have something I want. And because you're in the camp of Bud Crawford, I gotta take it. Punches that are not gonna stop coming, and maybe at some point start looking for a way out. Or maybe get caught by a big shot. And right now we're seeing some inflammation under the left eye of Jemele Herring. He can fight well in the inside, and he's showing us a different dimension of his skill set. Finding those levels, too. Look at that four-punch combination. Then goes down to the body with a jab. Then back upstairs with a combination to the head. Shakur is in rhythm here in Atlanta. Look at this one. Physical strength, a lot more prowess, and a lot more punching power than you thought. No chance to win standing on the outside of those shots. He's gotta let his shots go. Fires off the left hand. Takes Shakur Stevenson into the deep rounds because they feel like he's got conditioning issues. He's never been in a tough fight, so that's also the case. Yes, it is. Herring's not backing up, and Shakur's still giving as Bud Crawford sits ringside. Time. With everything he's got. And to continue digging to the body. We will look for that. Now you see Jemele trying to march forward. He's kind of gotten over that third, those three rounds. He needs to push Shakur Stevenson to his left. Keep him from going right. That right jab is the best thing. Jemele. Just like that. Here comes the left hand. You knew it was coming. Doubling up that right jab. Tough target to hit, though, is Shakur. Always has been. You're right, Dre. That jab is causing some problems for Shakur Stevenson. As it should. Off angle didn't matter. Well scored by Stevenson. Round number five of our world time. Herring's doing a good job on the task for any fighter. Shakur turned him around, and now the head shots come in. Able to get around the guard of Herring. Keep your hands free, guys. Get out of there. More comfortable right now. Staying in the pocket. Get your hands free. Blocking and picking off some of the shots from Jemele Herring. And then countering shots on Jemele, just like that. That's discouraging for Jemele Herring. Has to do. Right hand inside. Has to be willing to just hit him and hit him anywhere. And take some chances. Especially when you can smother him. You need to be careful. You need to time that perfectly because he's leaning right in. The line of fire for the left hand. A really good round for Jemele Herring. Hands free, guys. Get out of there. See if he responds right now. You have to push him to that point. You have to execute on that. The legs of Shakur Stevenson won't allow you to get back. That's discouraging, fellas. That's demoralizing. Don't punch. Step back all the way. And the reason why that shot hurt him is because he didn't see it coming. Quick right hook. He's right-handed. But he fights in the southpaw stance. In the corner, Bomek. I asked him, how do you turn things around? He says, from Herring. By throwing the right hook towards the area where he was going. It's a clean sweep. Right. Shakur landed the best punch in that round. And he did a little bit more. Jemele came on, but he let Shakur close it. Hands free. A mean three-piece right there. His career. You got to give yourself room to punch on the inside. Okay. Work on the inside. We're good? Beautiful short uppercut right there by Herring on the inside. But here. This punch right here. Right down to the groin area by Herring. You can see the response from Shakur Stevenson. Good crowd that's been here earlier tonight here in Atlanta. Round number eight. Now these are the no-regret moments. Because the alternative is sitting on the end of it. With the left hand, free the right hand up and let both shots go. And he needs to shorten his shots, too. He's throwing over the head of Shakur Stevenson. Not everything landed. Bad Herring is marching forward with no jab. Good Herring is... The Jemele Herring, that's coming here. He's got to stay disciplined with that right jab. I like the body shots inside from Herring. Got to hit something. There's a short right to the body. Good short pro fight. Now fight number 17. He's looking to become a two-division world champion. They're jawing. All the chirping going on throughout the week here in Atlanta. It was Brian McIntyre, his trainer, blowing the trade bars. And now he's got to get into his fighter. The message, keep that rhythm. You've got to be first. And then right at the end, Dre, he said... He's been playing these last few rounds, getting inside, dirtying it up. But Shakur Stevenson is tougher, rougher, and better inside than anyone thought. A combination from Shakur, he needs to answer with his own two- or three-punch combination. Two more head shots came in as well. Timmy, a few years ago, you and I were in New York, and we were broadcasting a Shakur Stevenson fight. And I remember turning and saying... I think I'm starting to see that. Not just the best, I mean the biggest, but the best. Yes. The most accomplished as a professional. Let off the gas pedal a bit. And he's finding his opportunities to rest. See him come inside? I don't think he took his foot off the gas pedal. I mean, he's done a lot of good work. Referee's doing a good job tonight, fellas. That's Mark Nelson, a veteran. We've seen him many times through the years. Let's look at this combination right here. Up to the body, changing levels. But that right there, when you see a guy with a high guard, you can come around it or come up the middle. Shakur Stevenson comes around the guard of Herring, catching him. 32 on power punches in that last round. Round number 10. Now the cut is worsening, and another left hand comes in. And look at these head shots from Shakur. So accurate. And doing damage. That's what blood does. That is it. They are waving it off. This is a TKO, fifth champion. An absolute ace. Criticized him in June. That's right. That's why. And we saw the complete package of Shakur Stevenson tonight. Pay-per-view on November 20th. Ladies and gentlemen, here inside State Farm Arena, referee Mark Nelson calls a stop to this bout at 1 minute, 30 seconds of round number 10. For your winner by technical knockout, and new WBO junior lightweight champion of the world, Shakur Stevenson! 17-0. The best he's been. 99 power punches landed. A 164-87 edge. Dre, your final thoughts.
