Will you guys still hate? Or will he put that to rest? I would say Hurd is a champion and a live opponent. If Lara beats him, that is an accomplishment. Thoughts?
I can’t remember this exactly. But I doubt I bet against Floyd. I think he may have paid me.
But who knows, I coulda felt like a hater that day.
Don't act like a wimp! Man up and own your idiotic thinking. :lol1:

No you bet on Berto and paid bro. Like I said I think you were just feeling sympathy because I wanted a bet.
-MEGA- really thought Berto would beat Floyd?

I believe I already bet my points in this fight.
Hurd wins this fight, possibly by hook or by crook.
Yes sir! We are on! I gave you 2-1. I have no idea what the odds are.

Hurd is an unexperienced pro who started his career in his 20's. He makes tons of mistakes in the ring. Beating hurd does nothing for lara's legacy.
Going against the grain here, Hurd by very late TKO or a decision win. Lara is 34 year olds. The problem is he hasn't fought anyone who's going to really make him feel his age and I feel with Hurd being the black Margarito, he's gonna wear down Lara and catch up to him late.
Lara's inside game absolutely sucks so he'll be moving all night so Hurd has to really invest in the body shots from round 1 and I think he can do that. Hurd is one fearless mofo but he HAS to set a pace that's uncomfortable for Lara

Lara by wide decision.
I don’t know that Lara handles pressure fighters all that well. Angulo is a pressure fighter, about as skilled Hurd but bigger even. I think the Margo comparison is not a bad one. This might well be a very interesting and entertaining fight. Not something you can often say of a Lara fight.
Redd, do you think Lara could stop Hurd?
Oh, definitely. He's probably going to play it safe because Hurd is rugged and powerful. But, Lara will kill him on accuracy and speed. If he gets in the volume, he could potentially pick him apart and stop him. Lara is totally capable of that. If he wants to play it that way.
Doe, that fight was 7 years ago, Lara was 28 and fought a Williams that was about to retire.
Lara is now 34 and fighting a young, big, hungry lion. All he could do in this fight is run for his life. That's what I'm predicting.
Hurd does a lot of things that can be exposed by a skilled boxer. His footwork is absolutely atrocious.. Squares up, crosses his feet, has no idea how to use range. His only defense is his face or his gaurd.. No head or body movement.
Hurd bullies guys because he has a solid chin and he's bigger then everyone, lara will show his class and dominate.
It's hard for me to take someone serious when they say he runs. He's comfortable at range and he knows how to utilize it, his skill dictates how he wants to fight. Why would a guy with the skills to outbox almost anyone take unnecessary risks just to please a few critics?
I'm excited for this one and I think hurd is a bit overrated but he still beats anyone outside lara and charlo. This could be like the williams fight but hopefully this time he doesn't get robbed.

Hurd chases Lara around the ring(meanwhile walking into straight left hands) for 12 rounds. Lara outclasses this weight bully and continues on his thrown as the king of 154.
Very good. I concur.

hurd is the black margarito. this being said i'd love to see the winner fight castaño to unify WBA belt and get rid of the "regular" one
The black Margarito! lol I haven't thought of him like that but it sure makes sense!
