Trout is a stepping stone and Hurd is an up-and-comer...really good hand speed, good footwork, throws with some pop, I'm surprised to read people picking Trout against him.
154 is a joke division! Ghost town, no one knows or cares about these blackboy bums. there was only alvarez who was elite in the division and now hes moved up.
Then why did Jermall do better against Trout? Why no Erislandy Bora rematch?

Alvarez who avoided those very black boys like Jermell and Jermall Charlo and Andrade and sold us the f*cking Beefy Smith pay per view instead?
Trout is underrated but Hurd has been active. I didn't think Austin was going to do so well against Jermall but he hung in there. If Hurd pulls it off i can't talk sh*t no more...
I think Trout will win. He is a good boxer with a win over Cotto and close losses to Canelo and Jermall. My state of New Mexico doesn't get many world champions so I hope Trout can become a champion again.
Trout has been out of action for a while, he might do alright but Hurd is young, athletic and big which can make for a hard fight for an older inactive fighter as long as Hurd pushes the issue to make Trout feel his age and inactivity.
If Hurd messes around and tries to box Trout the old might might just get him though.
I think Hurd will eventually catch him but the way Harrison was making him look fairly average most of the fight will allow Trout to look pretty good for a good amount
