Trout was out of shape for this fight

Trout was in great shape. Don't take credit from Hurd's win tonight.

[LoadedWraps]

Great round! Hurd came out swinging. Trout is outboxing him, but it's clear from the get-go, that if Hurd starts to maul him, it's going to be over.

Hellova fight, both guys put on a show. Congratz to Hurd, he's not the most skilled fighter in the world but he's got awkwardness, heart and most importantly, time to improve.

[Bravado]

Trout was out of shape?????? Seriously man, don't take away from his legitimately good performance. He just does not have the pop to keep most fighters away. He came in with a lot of energy and once Hurd realized that Trout can't knockout Glass Joe on roids, he waited until Austin wore down enough to pressure him.

He came to fight, he just doesn't have that pop

**** Hurd is huge. 6’1, 76 inch reach?!

Hurd showed a number of different looks to figure out how to get Trout out of there--I already knew he was hittable, especially against a southpaw (eg even Jo Jo dan was hitting him)....but he's evolving offensively, not just walknig in coming in behind his shoulder all the time. Good southpaws, and others, will bounce his head around but there's going to be pressure and a guy who appears to get better as the fight goes on, at least with offense

Hey BroBob messed up my pick on this. Sent you a PM with my actual pick, it's before ring walks so I assume that I can still correct it right?

[LoadedWraps]

This is the most important fight of the night for me. I'm very high on both fighters and while Charlo does have a better resume and I would consider slightly the better fighter, I think that's the only edge he has on Lubin. Whoever wins decisively here, I am fulling buying into. This is a test for both fighters.

Those jabs were landing.

Yea they were. But this isn’t an amateur point scoring system. I find it funny when people bring up the jabs but completely over look the fact that Canelo took away his whole body attack, entirely!!

Not to mention, everything else I mentioned in my last post.


ggg was supposed to be a killer.


Dem jabs doe.

[LoadedWraps]

****ing wow.

Charlo, the truth.

Lubin was out cold.
