Is Jarrett Hurd risking brain injury with his fighting style?

So much racism here, it's hard to breath sometimes....almost like without using race as an excuse for any shortcoming in life would leave people with nothing to say at all. Man I'm so tired of these weirdos bro, but at least some people on here have some sense.

... pretty much this ^^^... ... I don't really think that Hurd actually realized what happened to him on Saturday... but maybe, now, after re-watching the fight several times, he would... (and he doesn't seem to be a stupid guy)... Yup , he really didn’t look like himself I hope he realizes what he’s doing to his body

No more than any other boxer who uses his face as a defense, there's plenty of them around.

African style? What in the hell does that mean? Sounds like you're bringing race into this. Every fighter has their own style Hurd is a classic brawler, but that doesn't classify as African like you so oddly chose to go with. Canelo wasn't always that slick either damn sure isn't Mexican style you fool.

Yeah I think I read somewhere once that punches to the head are bad for you.

He needs to stop fighting african style (come forward with hands down punching bag) and switch it up to mexican style ala canelo(come forward with slick boxing, head and waist movement, hit and not get hit) African style? I'd say this was a classic description of Wilder's 'style' - Windmills and posturing.

Maybe putting his gloves up around his head, or moving his upper body....and head along with it....would help. Just saying. this is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no, I agree with you. I was explaining the African style reference. Not cosigning the passive aggressive racial bs at all Thank you bro. Just happy a few people on here have sense.

Surely it cannot be healthy to take 50 to 100+ power punches flush every single fight? I get that he is tough and has a granite chin, but this is no good for his long term health. At what point does it become, "If you can't learn to defend yourself, you may as well retire?" Another 3 or 4 years of consistently getting pounded in the face and head and this guy is going to be a vegetable. Definitey, reminds me a little of a Ricardo Mayorga with skills.

What brain? :dance:

I believe the weight cutting had a lot to do with Hurd last night His power shots were not their , meaning after a few shots he wouldn’t let his hands go , seems to me like he was exhausted I know Hurd doesn’t have the greatest defence but last night was ridiculous Maybe the weight cutting is really getting to him , maybe changing trainer can also help but mostly the weight cutting imo ... pretty much this ^^^... ...

Levels in opponents can make a difference. If he is fighting bums or the Welborn of this world then it is a cool style to get fans on your side. Once you get to that level of opponents then you need to relax your style a bit, I have seen that with Kef thurman and in a way Anthony Joshua of recent.

Even still there's a much better way of saying things. Always been boxer puncher or pure boxer, etc. Goes for everyone you know? Boxers included Oh no, I agree with you. I was explaining the African style reference. Not cosigning the passive aggressive racial bs at all

With lessor opponents Hurd was able to take a lot of shots without being phased. Against Julian Williams, he took way too many crisp flush powerful shots to the head and body. If Hurd doesn’t drastically change his style and find some defense then he probably won’t have a long career. this applies to munguia too, if he doesn't get a better defense, he might get KO'd by the first tough opponent he fights (he hasn't fight anyone yet)

he's margarito with less skill

He wont end up brain damaged but will get TKOed & KOed since he's been exposed IMO Hell it wouldnt surprise me if Hurd retires after fighting Brian Castaño, Mell Charlo and Jaime Munguia since Swift Hurd made his money vs Harrison, Trout, Lara, JRock, + he fights the 3 I've named he'll be set for life if he isnt already

so many degenerates like lizard man on this forum, it´s just sad how you can be this dumb! Way too many to count man. Glad some have some sense still.

Passive swipe at Jacobs who called his style African when pressed by journos for the Canelo fight. Was meant to say African-American because he listed AA fighters but came out with African, in response to Mexican style GGG-Canelo questions Even still there's a much better way of saying things. Always been boxer puncher or pure boxer, etc. Goes for everyone you know? Boxers included

He needs to stop fighting african style (come forward with hands down punching bag) and switch it up to mexican style ala canelo(come forward with slick boxing, head and waist movement, hit and not get hit) Think you got it the other way around, its African fighters who fight smart because they have good amateur backgrounds. Whereas Mexicants fight like flat footed bums who block every shot with their face. Hurd could learn a thing or two from your boy Shawn Porter, he brings that rough house style to his game, but with much better defensive discipline.
