Comments Thread For: Armando Resendiz Outworks, Stops Jarrett Hurd in Grueling Fight

[War Room]

What happened to Hurd? Did he used to be on Conor Benn's egg diet or what? The man went from P4P King to a bum overnight. Nash out

Weight Bully.

Even if Hurd was unactive for a year.

the fact that he pulled it off against an experienced and quite physically imposing former world champion is impressive.

As Manny Robles stated in the press conference, Resendiz lacks an amateur record along with the fact that he only had professional 13 fights against unraked opponents and even received a loss at age 22 quite recently.

A year? Try 20 months. Hurd is a finished fighter. That has been clear for some time. Even in prime you don't win these kind of fights being out this long.

Haymon knows what he's doing here. He's looking for a Middleweight to challenge Charlo if he comes back and needs to make it look at least acceptable to the paying fans. Resendiz will go in thinking he's legit and get a shock. it's a set-up. Nothing more.

That's a long night for Hurd then. He's been washed for years. Plus he's been out for 20 months. Easy to predict.

Looks like PBC has an opponent for 160 Charlo. They should make that fight right away.

Charlo will have a warm up first to shed the rust. Then Resendiz's short time in the limelight will come to an end. Haymon knows what he's doing here. He was happy so sacrifice a shot fighter who has been out for far too long to convince anyone he can that Charlo has a challenge at PBC. He doesn't, but some will believe he does.

I was right there with you. Same goes for Spence. Once Spence starts fighting real jmw's, same fate for him.

I can see him being called a weight bully maybe, but not a punching bag.

He just lost to a green 13-1 nobody that not only lost recently, but also got dropped during the process. He was hand-picked for Hurd to look good and it backfired. Like, where do you go from here? Hurd will continue to stumble on the rocks, his style isn't compatible with someone who doesn't have natural power at their own weight.
