Comments Thread For: Hurd Studies History For Lara, Won't Rise Until He Gets Charlo

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - It was nearly five years ago. But be sure, the closer Jarrett Hurd gets to meeting Erislandy Lara in Las Vegas the more he'll be relying on what happened to the southpaw stylist in California back in 2013. On a late spring night at what was then the Home Depot Center, the former amateur world champion had one of...

Lara is ripe for the picking.

If anybody can "pick" him it is Hurd.

No matter how it plays out, Lara is going to have his hands full with Hurd.
If Hurd wants to be taken seriously as a major player in this game, this is his ticket.

Hurd beats him, stops him late imo. His long arms will eventually catch Lara.

Not sure if i'm just tired but that title just doesn't make sense to me after reading it 5 times.



Interesting match up. Hurd has the right mentality and gameplan for this, he'll march forward all night trying to bury Lara eventually. He'll probably get countered ad nauseam early on but he'll be there all night firing back. Either he never gets to Lara and loses a UD in a valiant effort or he eventually makes Lara succumb to the pressure. Lara isn't usually in entertaining fights (sans Angulo) but I think he's gonna be forced into a dog fight in this one.

How these guys (Hurd/Charlo) make 154 is beyond me. There is still plenty of life left in Lara as he has never taken that much punishment, so am leaning towards him outboxing Hurd, but Hurd is so big that I wouldn’t be surprise if he evenerually grind out Lara.

Charlo's deodorant definitely was KO'd in that pic, but Jermell would school Hurd.

Me either!!! Even Spence at 147??? Big dudes!

Lara should win this in another boring fight.

Mouthwatering fight imo...I don't see boredom here, could get ugly if Lara is on his bike too much tho. Tough to call, leaning Lara's way here to outbox Hurd, but hopefully the judges won't reward him if he's running around the ring not landing punches.
