Referee Gary Rosato stopped the contest at :036 of the round.

Herring’s corner threw in the towel in the 10th to save their badly hurt fighter who was defenseless at the time. Shafikov, 31, knocked Herring down with a big right hand to the head in the 2nd round that sent the former 2012 U.S Olympian to the ropes. The ropes held Herring up, so the referee counted it as a knockdown.
