Really??
I didn't know this.
Is that what he said.
It is what he has been saying (being interviewed on the Jaron Ennis card recently) and said on saturday in the ring after the fight. While Charlo was in the ring, Hurd said that he was the A-Side since he has 2 belts, therefore he called the shots (I'm not sure about this one) and that he'd have his homecoming fight before a unification with Charlo.
Hurd has always been easy to hit and I think Jermell will hit him hard and often. Luckily for Hurd he has an iron jaw and great stamina and punching power himself. I think he survives some rough early rounds and comes from behind to beat Jermell.
All the fights I've seen him in he has taken about 3-4 rounds to really kick it into gear.
I just hope his slow starts doesn't hurt him too much with his fight with Jermell.
I can see Hurd losing alot of early rounds but coming on in the second half.
If Charlo can keep it together it will be a very close fight.
A very hard fight to pick.
I want Hurd to win though cause I like his attitude.
How did you think Hurd looked in his first fight back from surgery?
Just before he scored the K/O he was taking abit of damage.
Wouldn't like seeing Charlo being able to hit him that easy.Hurd has always been easy to hit and I think Jermell will hit him hard and often.

People can STFU about CHARLO being the one ducking. Hurd likely takes one more fight in Maryland and if it is against J Rock I'm totally fine with that match up
Hurd been ducking Charlo since last year.
They actually gave Hurd the option to fight Charlo or Lara and HE chose Lara.

He really is, he may be forced to face Julian Williams as a "tune up" which is absolutely crazy.
Forced, he can fight Charlo in late Spring.
He wants a homecoming fight.
The man has earned it.
Harrison, Trout and Lara back to back plus shoulder surgery. They should give him a durable a guy who Hurd can work with for around 9 rounds before going in.
He's America's most underrated fighter

I think he was fighting down to his opponents level. Welborn was smart to take the fight to the inside, preventing Hurd from getting the leverage on his shots.
But it was all for naught because as soon as Welborn tired Hurd lit him up.
Charlo will need to be well conditioned and prepared to box for 12 complete rounds in this fight. It will probably be a modern classic if Hurd can take some rounds.
It was a good exchange I just wish it didn't devolve into a screaming match....can't wait for this fight!
