Herring, a former world champion in traditional boxing, entered BKFC 95 as the promotion\u2019s bantamweight champion. Just ahead of fight night, BKFC president David Feldman revealed the end of the flyweight division. Dodson was the flyweight champion and he would\u2019ve been presented with two belts had he defeated Herring.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Herring scored the split decision win,\u00a0 utilizing the jab that earned him success as a traditional boxer. For Feldman, the action was lackluster, and he isn\u2019t hiding his feelings about what transpired. During the BKFC 95 post-fight scrum, Feldman said he expects more from Herring in his next outing (via <a href=\"https:\/\/bloodyelbow.com\/2026\/10\/17\/david-feldman-disgusted-by-bkfc-95-main-event-as-jamel-herring-defeats-john-dodson-in-drab-fight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bloody Elbow<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you guys appreciate that I am always honest and I will say that I was disgusted by the main event tonight,\u201d Feldman said. \u201cI didn\u2019t like it. I get boxing, I get being technical but throwing one shot at a time? Pot shotting? Not really engaging?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not what we\u2019re doing, we are Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, not \u2018Bare Knuckle Boxing\u2019. We\u2019re there to see a fight and I don\u2019t think that we saw a fight. I do think that John Dodson tried to create a fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJamel Herring is a phenomenal boxer but I think he has got to throw more punches and give us a little bit more action in future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Feldman has long touted BKFC for its exciting action and high knockout rate, but Herring was never known as a power puncher. His ring IQ, speed, and technical boxing has long been his identity, but Feldman clearly thinks there\u2019s more that \u201cSemper Fi\u201d can do.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with David Feldman on Jamel Herring needing to step up in his next fight despite being a champion?
