Former IBF/WBA junior middleweight champion Jarrett Hurd (23-1, 16 KOs) will be squaring off against the capable journeyman Francisco Santana (25-7-1, 12 KOs) next month on January 25 in the co-feature bout on the Danny Garcia vs. Ivan Redkach card on Showtime.
Man that fight with JRock was something else.
JRock wasn't losing that night. I wanna see that JRock vs Charlo.
Maybe this time things will be different :beerchug:
Technically it's going to be at a CW of 156, but yeah I don't know why he doesn't go to 160 already. Can't imagine how hard it is for him to make 154 being as big as he is. Surely he won't be able to go to 154 after this fight, nor will he want to, when he sees the possible benefits of not cutting as much.
Willful admission on my end....I only read the schedule and saw "Super Welterweight". Lol
He's returning at Super Welterweight!? I was almost sure he moved up to 160. Dude, if you can't make the weight, move up. If you feel you aren't skilled enough to compete at 160, hang em up.
I'm wondering if he just wants another crack at the titles before he moves up permanently.

Saw this. Damn shame with all the 154lbers PBC has that this is the fight they make for Hurd. I get he is coming off a tough loss but I expected a better quality name.
I was kinda thinking he needed this. While I'd like to see him take a better opponent, his management is probably thinking that two losses in a row might destroy him.

Former world champ fighting a top 50.. not ideal. It is a comeback, but not an explosive one. Let's see him steamroll this fight then come back to get that Jrock rematch.
