He chose to fight in close then the body work took his legs. Im not dis*****g he is aging but that was a tough match up for him. I dont think he is competely shot no.
He's slowed down but i think he chose to fight inside because of Hurd's huge height/reach advantage and his pressure. He certainly showed he can fight inside and was landing the cleaner punches throughout, Hurd's workrate and size is just freakish though and Lara tired.
Him not having the legs....equates to him being past it man....as his mobilty and defense is reduced.......
Him not having his legs is just his movement not being what it was. The other aspects of his game are still there. Still a real good counter puncher, showed his inside game is nice tonight as well. He just lost to a crazy durable and relentless fighter.
