Due to his dominance in the second round his local and traveling fans drowned ever sound with audible chants of his name "Ito" while the opposing fans tried to keep up with "USA" chants, which became the main attraction and the other interesting thing about round three.

Herring got his weight and body advantage in the fourth, scoring with left hands and also making the champion miss. InI'the fifth round Herring achieved his best round in the fight ending the frame with a series of left hands and a sweeping right hook.

The fight slid off in favour of Ito, who took advantage with right hands to the body, while Herring kept his right hand dangerously connecting..Ito actually was getting the upper hand when the fight became close to a dog fight.

Both fighters battled fatigue in round nine, Herring getting back to his boxing, while Ito fought with his mouth open. In the 10th round Herring connected a right hand to the back of Ito's head that sent the defending champion to the canvas prompting a stoppage.

Herring viewed the title within reach and doubled up on his jab for good measure, trying his best to avoid Ito, who also had three minutes to do something spectacular in order ti retain his title. This never came till the final bell.

Herring is now 4 - 0 since moving down to junior lightweight and improves to 20-2 (10KOs), while Ito drops to 25-2-1 (13KO) with the defeat.
