    Exactly those early rounds were he got punishment from Trout didnt seem to bother him too much.
    When Trout cut his eye he just seemed to get pissed of and from then on proceeded to wipe the floor with him.
    Scary dude you throw everything at him and catching him flush but is still walking forward

        Rey Vargas, Easter and Hurd being able to make 122, 135 and 154lbs respectively is a bit puzzling to say the least.

          Yea those things mentally drain a fighter, start to doubt what you can do. If he can stay at 154 he should have a lot of success

            Yeah I heard it. That was a bold statement even though Hurd is not that tested yet.

              I think he needs to stay at 154 unless he can develop better all-around boxing skills because at 160, he won't be able to "bully" guys as much. Imagine him trying to "bully" Jacobs...

              Hurd vs Lemieux at 160 would be a blood bath!

                Absolutely, his physical advantages are what makes him dangerous and completely make up for is poor technique. You put him in with real middleweight he won't be bullying anyone. Lol I'd probably be a bit worried for Hurd if he fought Jacobs.

                Him and lemieux would be great but David has that real one punch power, and probably puts him out.

                  When you see this guy walking around he looks bigger than Kovalev, its just a total miracle how he makes 153, he must have very light bones. I still like him, he is a good boy, humble dude.

                    Hurd is huge. It's how he's been winning fights because his skill is booty. Look at the Trout fight, where Trout out-boxed him but Hurd was able to bully him on size.

                      True but Trout doesn't have the same skills as Lara. This one is going to be very interesting until the very end. I reckon Lara will be way ahead and Hurd will be coming on big time near the end.
