What was Hurd's fight night weight, anybody know?

I think its Hurd's height and the way he's built that makes him look heavier. Just look at the weigh in he towered over Lara but was actually lighter. Kinda like Kovalev who looks like a cruiserweight in the ring. Other guys weigh the same they just have skinny legs.Comment

Nah, they didn’t say. But they stay mentioning he looked like a light heavyweight or more! Weight bullyComment

I am glad someone was paying attention. Those are the correct fight night weights given in the tale of the tape. I am sick of hearing how Hurd weighs more than Kovalev on fight night. A boxer can only gain so much weight in 30 hours and benefit from that gain. It's closer to 10 pounds than the absurd 30 pounds some claim Hurd and Canelo put on after they weigh in. Hurd looks huge because he is tall with a big upper body like Tommy Hearns. He doesn't have much weight in his waist, hips and legs.Comment

Those were the second day weights, done in the morning at the IBF request, per Fat Dan. That was posted on the front page, at the third paragraphI am glad someone was paying attention.

Yes they did say. You just weren't watching when they gave the fight night weights. Hurd weighed 163 and Lara weighed 162 on fight night. Wow! A 1 pound weight bully. Trout weighed over 170 in the ring when he fought Cotto. He probably weighed the same when Hurd knocked him out. Hurd isn't a weight bully. He makes weight easily as 153 should tell us. He only gains 9 pounds from the weigh in to the fight. Weight bully is just an excuse to trash a damn good champion.Comment

I think the stats same night weigh in was 166 for Hurd and 164 for Lara.
The contract of 154 had both in at 153.4lbs.
Either way weight was no issue the over all size and strength along with Hurds determination was the difference.

That is not what they said. They said those were the weights they weighed going into the ring, not morning weights. Even if they made a mistake and those were morning of the fight weights it's plain that Hurd isn't much heavier than Lara.Comment
