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

[IMDAZED]

Can’t be. Genrick told me it’s not happening.

[MasterPlan]

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

Gallimore is fighting J-Rock.

Respect to both men if this fight comes off!!!

I think this kid is catching Lara at just the right time.

I see Lara having success early. Hurd to catch up with him late and may even stop him.

Out with the OLD. In with the NEW!!

Business is picking up in the 154 pound division. I expect a 3 belt champion by the end of 2018. I love it!

Lara will build a lead early and Hurd will come on strong as the fight progresses.
I predict a close decision in favour of lara 115-113.

Lara is terrible to watch and awful for boxing. Hope Hurd wins but I think he's a bit too slow to get to Lara. But hey, so was Angulo.

Awesome fight, Hurd might be a hard one for Lara on this time I'm kinda expecting a Lara vs Angulo 2.0 , I'm almost sure Hurd will be on Lara's ass all the fight, non cardio stop,.

It all comes to me to if Lara can hurt Hurd, if Hurd respects Lara's counterpunching power I see a Lara UD, if Hurd stays on Lara all the time with that size and that workrate Hurd could be getting his biggest win to date.

Looking at Lara to outbox Hurd but he might not get the decision on the night.

[JJRod]

I like.
Hopefully soon we can get Charlo vs Andrade vs the winner of this bout. I know Andrade is at mw but I'm sure a catchweight can be reached.

Hurd won't have a better chance to beat Lara than now. He's fought I think three or four southpaws in a row and Trout is a great style to prepare him for Lara. Still lean towards the American Dream though.
