Comments Thread For: Jarrett Hurd: I Know I Can Beat Erislandy Lara - I Want Him Next!

[Bobby Shaw]

Hurd is good but somehow Lara will find a way to make this fight boring. I would love to see how this goes so let's get this done.

When was the last Lara out boxed somebody Ishe Smith in 2014.He has been fighting flat footed in recent fights.

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...

The dude's built like a tank isn't he? Yea, he literally just wore Trout down and imposed his youth and size. I doubt Lara sticks around for that to happen. It looks like Jarrett wants him tho. And so does Ernesto...

I don't think Hurd is winning this fight unless he lands something big.

All of you saying you're never gonna watch a Lara fight again will watch this fight with anticipation.

I like this fight, I like the young boy Hurd, but Lara is a clever veteran

[SkillspayBills]

He's big but his lack of technical proficiency has reared its ugly head in the last couple fights. Lara will more than likely outbox him.

Lara is going to lose next after Rigo.
He has been barking about imaginary fighters ducking him.
Well here is someone who is ready to fight

[FLY TY]

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

jermell will probably fight the winner

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!

i agree

I hope to see it happen. I don't think Lara is a thrilling fighter to watch but he's an elite one. There's a lot of potential outcomes here. Lara is forced to duke it out like the Angulo fight and we get a great two-way fight, Hurd is taken to school or Lara gets old over night and can't keep Hurd off. I'd lean towards Lara in a good fight after an early lead is built up.
