Comments Thread For: 'It's definitely make or break for me': Jarrett Hurd recognizes the stakes of Jeison Rosario showdown

[MulaKO]

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
