Cong**** to Hurd: first man to dominate the cuban nightmare Lara

[Mexican_Puppet]

Dominate hahaha hahaha

[Bad_Guy]

I was a bit tired watching the replay after watching UFC, but I thought Hurd dominated Lara too. From round 4-5 onward, I thought Hurd would win, and it was satisfying to see Lara get broken down like that.

Edit: going to rewatch the fight now

That's rather foolish, he wouldn't be a world champion unifying two belts against one of the best boxers today if he had no "skills." Sure it may not be pretty, but he cuts off the ring extremely well, has an insane workrate, brings immense pressure, and has a wide variety of combination punch selection.

Lara is not one of the best boxer's today, he's a decent sharpshooter, but otherwise has some very strong weaknesses, like never being able to actually fight. Hurd is a sitting duck there for the taking where ever you choose, I reckon snatching his body would be easy too for any class operator who actually punches.

And I never said no skills, what I meant was that the skills he has aren't world class, he's a weight bully. Slaps, arm punches, no defense. Struggling to see what real skills he has from the Lara fight, he's big and long and makes use of his that size by putting hands on you.

Floyd dominated when he beat Mosley. That's the definition of a boxer dominating. This was a VERY close and competitive fight.

Dude I just meant he's the first man "to beat decisively" Lara.

I wouldn't even go that far. I remember that showtime poll at the end of the broadcast had 40% for Lara. The average scorecard out of 157 entries on the Fight Score app was 114-113 for Lara. I think most people who thought Lara won don't have a problem with giving it to Hurd, but it's still anything but decisive.

Hurd handled Lara his 3rd loss, but it's safe to say that the Williams loss was the biggest robbery of the decade and the CLenelo fight was a clear draw.

Hurd won clearly in my book, won at least 6 rounds + the KD.

Hurd is the first fighter to dominate Lara, a P4P experienced southpaw.

Due to his size, Hurd has a bright future and I could see him picking belts up to 160 and 168.

He just has to tighten his defense or he will end like De Gale, half shot and teethless.

you say he dominated, but then also say he won 6 rounds...

Looks like OP is reading too much of Steve Kim's tweets

You used the wrong word. Dominating means one sided. I'll let it go though.

Well, sorry guys, English is not my first language as you can guess.

His offensive skills are pretty good, he set up his combos very well.

His defensive skills are terrible I agree.

So he's overall average in the skills department but he's a beast physically and mentally.

We saw him struggling skill wise vs 2 elite southpaws, let's see how he looks versus an elite orthodox fighter.
