On Saturday night at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, super welterweight contenders Julian "J Rock" Williams (24-1-1) and Nathaniel Gallimore (20-1-1) will clash in an IBF super welterweight eliminator in the opening fight of a Showtime tripleheader.

After that wack **** last weekend, I'm glad Showtime is coming back STRONG this weekend! I look forward to J-Rock and Gallimore putting on a show!

Its a tough call : Hurd lacks the rounds and never been twelve, however he brings that pressure like one of Lara' previous opponents that gave him plenty of trouble 'El Perro' Alfredo Angulo and before that the 'Punisher' Paul Williams ( a very long time ago). Jarrett is fresh, very big for the weight and has a KO streak going for him coming in to this fight, with a relentless style that can chip away Erislandas most valuable asset, his legs.

Lara virtually has no inside game, I see 'Swift' getting in his chest and working to a decision -- I like to say KO but Lara has a good chin, but like Stephen "Breadman" Edwards said it could come down to what the judges like.

It's one of those fights in which the champion would have to beat convincingly his opponent to get the win, Hurd will be the aggressor and most likely would get a decision if Lara just sticks and moves, even if Lara connects more, he'd have to completely school and probably knock down Hurd once or twice to get the decision.

this williams relationship will not end well. he's being delusional and pumping up williams saying he won 99-91 so it wasnt that bad....cept in reality it was.

Rolling with J Rock, he seems to be responding well to punches in his recovery. The kids talent is undeniable. This will likely be the fight of the night. Just don’t know if Hurd can walk down a highly mobile Lara. Trout can be easily suckered into a prideful war. Lara will move all night with out fatigue. We haven’t seen him in a War since Angulo and Canelo’s legs probably move as well (or close to as well) as Hurd’s.

Never seen Galimore fight and the only time I watched J-Rock was against Charlo. So I'll be tuned in Saturday. Hopefully it's a good fight
