Respect to Hurd.

[Damn Wicked]

He's a good fighter. He deserved the win tonight. He used skill, power, size and stamina to beat down Lara. He may not be pretty but he has talent and he should be respected for his victories and attitude. He also gave us GREAT entertainment tonight and against Trout!

[Sweet Jones]

If he only had a jab. He used that jab in the 7th and dominated

He has a solid and stiff jab though. He used it against Trout after getting cut and IMO that’s when he really took over the fight.

And in fairness, it’s hard for any Ortho fighter to jab effectively against a southpaw, especially one as crafty as Lara.

Congratz Jarrett!

You saved me from total humiliation on this week's Pick'Em.

And I’ll just keep repeating it: he might be the relaxed fighter in the ring since George Foreman. Just keeps working and trusts his preparation and power.

But you saw the difference in the 7th when he committed to it right?

[Tony2.0]

That's one of his strengths actually, understanding his own limitations. That left hook to the body is really Lara's biggest weakness, shocking he hasn't fixed that but then again he hasnt fixed anything, he's just a solid one dimensional fighter who his fans hype for no reason.

Hype for no reason? He's gotten robbed numerous times and if he had knockout power he would probably have the highest ko% in boxing due to how accurate his punches are. Tonight he lost an extremely close fight that could've gone either way and he's 7 years older than his opponent.

[IFightDirty]

Gotta love his grit and no quit attitude. He was able to cut the ring off and do work. Props for Lara for hanging in tough. He was still fighting til the end. He deserves a rematch but I think at his age and the style he has he should look elsewhere for now.

Fo sho. He maybe should have used it more in this fight, but just wanted to point out that he DOES have a decent one.

All good though.
