Comments Thread For: Hurd: Lara Hit Me Harder Than Any Opponent; Showed Heart

[MisanthropicNY]

Lara has turned into another Marquez - can't admit when he loses a fight. He lost to Canelo by running like a *****. This time he tried to exchange and go his ****ing head topspinned.

Hurd vs Jermell is next. I hope the boxing world moves on from Lara's snooze fest.

Lara hit him with a couple of straight left and uppercuts to the chest in the very first round that could have made any other fighter hesitant about going in face first, but Hurd's got a really good chin, never seem hurt, that uppercut on the sixth could have taken down or stopped anybody, but not Hurd, kudos to him and I hope he keeps proving all the doubters wrong, he got me convinced.

Lara's power will be erased out of Hurd's mind if he faces Charlo. Love Hurd to death but even the best chins fail sooner or later.

I agree Hurd is going to have a short run as champion if he doesn't fix that defense of his. His body is taking too much wear and tear.

Work on your defense bro!!! Especially if he moves up in weight.

Agreed! And he's so young. I remember I felt invincible at Hurds age but he can't be so naive as to think he can go on like this forever

You are off today....Hurd seems like a good dude & a good contender but to say he can box when he clearly lets you hit him to wear you out is not boxing. It may be a tactic but not a skill level. It was a good & close fight but Lara could have boxed & made things easy for himself.

Not to speak for Illmatic, but I think he means that Hurd has shown boxing ability in fights prior to Harrison, Trout and Lara. He fought a pressure stalker style in these last 3 fights. I remember watching his fight against Harrison and wondering why he wasn't boxing like he had in previous fights.

I love hearing fighters talk like this. It doesn’t make you less of a man to speak highly of your opponent. To the contrary. The irony is, Lara tends to do the opposite. Props to Hurd.

Exactly.

Respect for both fighters.

It was a great boxing match.

Props to Hurd without question. Unfortunately Lara has been subject of x2 questionable decisions with Williams and Alvarez. I can see why he wasn’t as cheery as Hurd on his first close fight. So really no irony imo. Simply a set of different circumstances. Again, much credit to Hurd, I look forward to his future fights.

I give Lara a lot of credit for that last fight. He fought like a warrior. Can’t ever take fault with that. I’m wondering what’s next for him.
