Stevenson vs. Herring odds, picks: Boxing insider releases predictions for Oct. 23 junior lightweight showdown
WBO junior lightweight champion Jamel Herring puts his title on the line Saturday against undefeated former world featherweight champion Shakur Stevenson in the main event of a professional boxing card Saturday in Atlanta. The headliners head to the ring around 10:30 p.m. ET at State Farm Arena.
Many boxing observers believe this could be one of the most compelling fights of 2021 outside of the Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder trilogy match that took place two weeks ago in Las Vegas. Â
Stevenson (16-0) is a 2016 Olympic silver medalist who has been roundly hailed as a potential star ever since he began his rise up the amateur circuit. However, his stock might have dropped a little on the heels of a handful of lackluster performances.
He will likely have to be at his best to defeat the surging Herring (23-2), who is looking to build off perhaps the most impressive win of his career. He stopped former two-division champ Carl Frampton in April for the third successful defense of his title.Â
Stevenson is a -1100 favorite (risk $1,100 to win $100), while Herring comes back at +700 (risk $100 to win $700) in the latest Caesars Sportsbook boxing odds for Stevenson vs. Herring.
