Going with Hurd on this fight

well, some fans were saying Lara wouldn't accept the challenge. Now what?

Awesome matchup!! I can't wait to see this!!! Lara needed a good quality opponent and hopefully he'll come out on top in a more exciting fight this time.

Really hope this gets finalized. Lara really needs a signature win after being robbed in big fights and having a less than crowd-pleasing style. On the other hand, Hurd winning could set up a Charlo fight, and that would be huge.

I have a feeling that Lara is going to school Hurd in this fight.

SHOWTIME not messing around!!!

I have a feeling that Lara is going to school Hurd in this fight.

I kind of see a UD. Trout was doing great until he got tired and kept trying go toe2toe with the much bigger man. But Trout was landing everything but the kitchen sink on Hurd.

Make it a 154lb double-header:
Lara-Hurd
Charlo-Gallimore (since Ali is fighting Liam Smith instead of unifying)

i think lara outboxes him. hurd has no defense and just goes forward. or at least that's what i saw from him in the few fights that i've seen
