Comments Thread For: Hurd: My Power is Deceiving; Lara Won't Trade Once He Feels It

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Jarrett Hurd expects Erislandy Lara to approach him exactly how Lara usually fights. Hurd doesn't believe the technically sound southpaw will do anything different, despite Lara's promise to punish Hurd due to the defensive deficiencies an aggressive Hurd showed in his most recent victories over Tony Harrison and Austin Trout. The unbeaten IBF junior middleweight champion also feels he'll surprise Lara with his power when they meet in a 12-round, 154-pound title unification fight Saturday night in Las Vegas (Showtime).

excellent

as you are well-aware of that fact, you will have a bullet-proof gameplan in place to handle his movement

For those who think Hurd is a weight-cheat:

At the IBF-mandated Saturday morning weight check all six fighters on the Showtime card were within the allowable 10-pound weight gain limit. Lara was 163, Hurd 163.6, Truax 176, DeGale 174.6, Williams 162.8, Gallimore 159.


For those who say Al Haymon overpays his fighters:

Purses for Saturday's Showtime card: Erislandy Lara $1 million, Jarrett Hurd $500,000, Caleb Truax $300,000, James DeGale $300,000, Julian Williams $40,000, Nathaniel Gallimore $40,000.

Hurd, Truax, Gallimore. These are my picks for the night but all fights have an extremely good possibility of going the other way.

He is. Hurd will be 180lbs in the ring tonight. The weigh-ins mean nothing if you know a way around the system
