As someone residing and/or working in the DMV for nearly 30 years...I always liked Hurd. He was promoted early by people I knew and I attended some of his earlier fights. I was also in attendance when he lost to J-Rock. His demise was quick.

What's funny is that Hurd is correct, early in his career he was a pretty decent boxer and tended to keep things on the outside and try to avoid punches.

Even if he beats an equally shopworn Rosario, my fears are that he's done at anything near a contender level. Regardless, I will be pulling for Swift in his comeback.

I agree , there is not much wiggle room at 168 for him
I liked Swift but he literally was a flash

The first time I watched Hurd was vs. Galarza, and he actually showed some boxing ability. Once he became a pressure fighter, he never seemed able to revert back to his previous style, or incorporate some of those out-boxing traits into his pressure-fighting. Fans who only watched his career post-Harrison thought he had zero boxing ability. His skill-set seemed to regress when he got to world-level, which is abnormal.

Yeah, too bad about Hurd. I was rooting for him as I'm also in the DMV and feel the local pride. He has a terrific and supportive family and seems like a genuinely nice kid.

Both these cats been done. Gonna be funny that the winner will be gifted a title shot

[steeve steel]

Hurd is done and has been for a while now. Beating another boxer who is also done isn't gonna change anything.

I agree. I remember him saying the first thing he did with his money was buy his mom a house and he goes there on the weekends to mow her lawn for her. He genuinely seemed like a good dude and had a fan friendly style, sucks he went downhill so fast. I don't think his comeback will go too far, but I'm rooting for him too.

Danny Garcia got an undeserved title shot off his name. Why not Hurd?

I love that ProBoxtv is doing this fight. may be a good n
