I'm with you on this one, I don't see Hurd as a slick enough fighter to beat Charlo. What round he takes out Hurd in? I'd say the later rnds, 10,11,12. Or he may surprise us and go the distance....Hurd reminds me of a much "lighter & faster" version of a young - brace yourself: George Foreman! Hurds straight rights & lefts are something George didn't do as much, so as far as those punches go, Hurd is different, but imo, he's as basic as George was with not much extra in offense OR defence.....
I predicted Lara was gonna get KO'd when the fight was 1st announced and thought my prediction would come to fruition when Hurd dropped him and nearly took him out. Because Hurd is BIGGER, tougher, HUNGRY, younger and RELENTLESS as a pressure fighter is why I thought he'd win and because of Laras style.....
Lara is a good "mover" that can catch an opponent on the fly with sweet single punches & 2 punch combos, but he STOPS in his tracks too often to mix it up leaving himself just as open as someone who's NOT a mover! That "pressure" brought out the "give & take" fighter in Lara, which is something he's NOT proficient in. Laras good, but he aint no Mayweather when it comes to movement and sneaky punch variety!
