Hurd doesn't deserve a rematch. He got outclassed by a guy who got KO'ed by charlo. Hurd was terrible at judging distance, never used his size/reach and was horrible at inside fighting. I see what I needed to see. No rematch. It wasn't even a close fight. I am all for rematches if the fights are close, but this ain't one of those fights...
I believe that there was a rematch clause. Hurd sounds like he is activating it.
Class all round from Hurd, team and family. You could tell Hurd was brought up in a discipline home (Still lives at home with mum and dad). He is well spoken, act with a lot of manner when outside of the home. Even the people he surrounds himself with are an example of him.
Very humble group. Hard to root against hurd!

Listen. If they fought 10 times JRock wins 10 times. Hurd is too slow, defensively challenged, has a TERRIBLE CORNER, slow, Balance issues and bad feet. He was beaten by a REAL trained fighter. Hurd is the prototypical weight bully. I love his fights but he aint built to last. Was just a matter of time. PLUS, who picked THIS FIGHT for the homecoming. Didnt they see the Gallimore fight. JRock fought inside in that one too. Beat on Gallimore from midpoint to the end. Didnt do any different in this one. Trainer/corner WAAAAAAAAY underestimated JROCK. Who's in charge. They definitely gotta go. Fought, looked and acted like they had a bum in front of them. Took an ass whipping that coulda/shoulda been avoided. Reminded me of Tyson/Douglas minus the knock ut. But believe, if they run this back Hurd getting KTFO.
Hurd needs a new trainer quickly
Hurd is 6'1" tall and should really have a dominant jab to control his fights and set up his power shots. Instead he has a pawing inconsistent jab and a poor defence.
With his ability Hurd really needs a top class trainer to realise his full potential. His current trainer is not the one.
Hurd and his team took too much for granted!
They had the air of thinking victory was a given.
Even the corner work of the team left a lot to be desired.
This is the best thing to happen to Hurd and his team.
Never ever look past an opponent no matter what the media says about your opponent!
JRock finally pulled it all together and put on a masterclass and reduced Hurd to a rank amateur.
Class is what Hurd and his team are!
Just simply class, you don’t see that a lot in boxing!
I respect Hurd obviously because he’s in boxing but by the fact he didn’t need to box but chose to do it and still does it says a lot about his character and passion!
He was just up against a man that wouldn’t be denied that night!
I think a rematch will be same outcome, J rock is just a better boxer and has better all around technique not to
Mention the glaring speed advantage!
Hurd is gonna have to work on two things, his head movement on the inside and his jab!

It was definitely Williams night. He took it to the bigger man, beat Hurd on the inside and bullied the bully.
I don't see how Williams could have fought a better fight.
Hurd looked confused and definitely didn't bring his A game. A rematch will tell if Hurd had an off nite or if Williams has his number.
