Herring and Oquendo make Weight. ✅✅

Defending WBO Super Featherweight World Champion 🇺🇸 Jamel Herring scaled-in at 129.5 lbs., while veteran Puerto Rican challenger 🇵🇷 Jonathan ”Polvo” Oquendo made 129.6 ahead of their 12-rounder battle Saturday, September 5, @ the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, 🇺🇸 USA. ⭐️  (Sunday morning here in Asia)

Both 30+ year-old men looked in excellent shape during Friday’s weigh-in ceremony and the stage is ready for their rumble.🔥

Online betting sites have  the 34-year-old Herring (24-2, 10 KO’s) as favourite to retain bet, with odds as much as 1 to 8.  That’s a lot.  🥊 

But the veteran Puerto Rican (31-6, 19 KO’s) is an experienced warrior, and in boxing there are no small enemies.  🧐  

In fact, this is Oquendo’s second shot at a world-title.   So fans can be sure that the 37-year-old Boricua from beautiful Bayamón, Puerto Rico, will fight his heart out. 👍👍

Will the Puerto Rican brother succeed in probably his last chance at becoming world champion? 🧐  

Or will the fresher southpaw Herring be able to handle Oquendo’s glory-hungry spirit for his successful second world-title defence? 🧐

The interesting battle is promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank live on ESPN.  ✅
