Hurd: Solid Beard, Non Stop Punching, Takes Punches...

Again, he scored those KOs against guys who had been stopped before. Ffs alcine was stopped by macklin in round 1.

And Charlo is a big guy too, will probably move up to MW in a year or two like his brother.

Lubin? Anyways dudes a plodder. I don't like watching those type of fighters. He's eventually going to have to fight big punchers at mw and that's gonna **** up his future.

Roll with the punch or Parry or try to dodge a punch once in a while man. It's good for your health!

See Paul Williams career, he got KOed cold once and outboxed in another

They're a few differences in Hurd and Margarito that I noticed in the Lara fight. One, he has an awkward style. It was hard for Lara to time him. He was bending at the waist a lot and still throwing punches when he was bent over. Margarito was always straight up in the air. Hurd doesn't always throw hard shots but every thing he throws is thudding. It takes Hurd a lot less effort to land a thudding shot. Margarito threw everything hard. Hurd also had a good body attack and it's consistent. Lara was breathing hard in the 3rd round. I don't remember Margarito being that dedicated to body attacks. I think Hurd can do the same thing to Charlo but I don't know if it will get him the victory.

I'm not sold on little Charlo's power. If he can't get Hurd's respect and in a hurry he will be in for a rough night. I hope they fight next, that's an exciting match up.

Hurd is a massive problem as long as he continues to be able to make 154 effectively. It's like GGG at 160, they are physically domineering fighters, the physicality and skill set at the weight make them a hard to topple.

I get the Margarito comparisons, but Hurd doesn't get hit that clean, that often. He has a more sofisticated style, and mixes in counter punching and some boxing.

Margarito was a better combination puncher and had a better attack to head and body once he got going.
