Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara vs. Jarrett Hurd Deal Getting Very Close For April

[Thraxox]

Hurd got this. I'm gonna be changing my signature once the fight is official. Jarret Hurd is starting to grow on me, he's going to fold Lara late in the fight for a TKO win.

Lara by decision. Hurd would have to catch him and damage him similar to the Angulo fight. I don't see it happening.

lara will clean out the 154 division.

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

Who said Lara wouldnt accept? Hurd is straight forward and one dimensional. He is exactly the kind of opponent that Lara likes to face.

I think Hurd might have a shot at getting to Lara. He is a bigger and faster version of the Angulo Lara struggled with and will likely be able to absorb what Lara dishes out better than broke face Angulo did. Angulo's face first style just led to him eating everything Lara threw at him like he was at a taco buffet and it cost him. Hurd will get tagged up a little as well but showed in the Trout fight he has decent defense and isn't just gonna eat shots all night. Lara probably wins a decision but this isn't a cake walk. Hurd is coming into his own now and anyone that takes that 0 will be taxed mightily for it.

Charlo schools the winner next, but excellent fight. Glad to see some big fights being signed for 2018.

LOL @ you thinking that Lara will fight Hurd the way he fought Angulo

[HarvardBlue]

Hurd will apply a lot of pressure early and force Lara into a track meet. If he gets tired like Trout he could stop him late. Lara will have success but he can't run for 12 rounds like he did against Canelo. Hurd will catch up to him faster.
