WBA/IBO super welterweight titlist Erislandy Lara (25-2-2, 14 KOs) attempts to unify his belt against IBF belt-holder Jarret Hurd (21-0, 15 KOs) at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas in what is the featured attraction on Showtime this Saturday night.

As much as I would like to see Hurd win this I think lara's coach is right. Hurd doesn't do a particularly good job of cutting off the ring and follows his opponents instead. The trout fight was a good example of that. Lara is all wrong for him but I hope I'm wrong

[ceylon mooney]

anyone thing lara will bust him up like he did angulo?

hurd is def gonna make this fight exciting.

[PoserExposer]

Excuses from the princess and no I don’t mean Ronnie Shields!

Going to be a really hard pick to make.
I mean how can you pick against Lara but then again Hurd so big and string with boxing ability plus a tank.
**** gonna be a hard one to choose.
Anyone know the odds?

Word out of the mall is that Lara already bought his track shoes and all the lot of so called 154 chumps are ready to hold hands and sing kumbaya with Lara

I hope Lara puts on another masterful boxing performance.

I honestly would rather the younger guy win and move forward. BUT I got a lot of people crying about "running" the day after.

Trout made Hurd look like a novice at times. Lara at anything over 60% should win. I'd rather Charlo vs hurd

[herb666]

Lara needs to hurt Hurd or he will just walk Lara down and take him out. Trout couldn't do it, but Lara is better than Trout. Should be a good one.

[Graz]

Hurd is a tough kid with stamina. Lara is so skilled it should be a good fight. I know Shields says standing toe to toe is not boxing but Lara takes distancing himself from his opponent to a new level. I just hope Lara’s style doesn’t make a borefest out of the contest.
