Kid's got balls...don't think it's a good fight for him tho. Lara's still too slick.

Make it happen.

This is what champions do! I don't know if Hurd can get the job done, but it's good to see someone call out a champion WHEN THE CHAMPION IS AVAILABLE! Too many fighters (Lara included) call out people once they have already agreed to fight someone else! SALUTE to Jarrett Hurd! Lara vs. Hurd! Make it happen!

Yeah Trout was boxing circles around him but kept getting sloppy and tried out power punching the much, much bigger man. Lara is way more slick then Trout and wont try and out slug him at times. Easy UD for Lara. 7 rounds to 3. Maybe 6-4 one one card...

Man Hurd can really win this, dont forget that Lara doesnt perform that well vs Pressure fighters...

People forgot Lara got dropped By Angulo twice?? Hurd can be a sylistic nightmare for him

I see Lara outboxing him the first half of the fight and then Hurd coming back once again and maybe even stop him around the 11th round...

good fight..but where does jermell charlo fit into this..he wants Hurd..hurd wants lara..a fourth guy is needed to make it a mini tournament maybe maciej sulecki..winner of both fights will face each other later this year

[FrankieClutch]

Lara is going to thoroughly outbox Hurd if/when that fight happens

I don't think Trout ever really had the passion for boxing, and he had been getting beaten without much of a fight whenever he stepped up lately. I saw Lara v. Trout live, and my god was Trout just completely outclassed. Those wins against Trout are not that impressive post-Lara to me.

I think Lara schools this kid, but maybe he'll learn something from the fight.

Exactly! Trout looked liked an amatuer against Lara but looked super slick against Hurd.
