I thought public execution was outlawed?

Lol....It might be a little closer than you think. Maybe....lol

Trout would be the best name on Jermell resume.Jermell don't have that much experience fighting southpaws.I expect this to be a competitive fight.

I was wondering why he would fight a southpaw if he wants Hurd next? It won't help to get ready for Hurd's style. I'm wondering if he is just trying to keep sparring with Errol to stay in shape being that Errol is a southpaw as is Trout.

Im looking forward to this fight.
Only to compare when Hurd fought Trout to when Charlo fights him.
Should be easier for Charlo cause of his recent loss to Hurd but still interested to see if Charlo K/Os Trout and how easy of a fight it is for him.
Give me more of an idea who i think will win between Hurd/Charlo cause atm i have them pretty even

Its what bob & hbo has done for years....You have to remember styles make fights. Hurd pressures, Trout boxes & Jermell boxes too so I won't be surprised if Jermell/Trout went the distance. Hurd/Jermell will be entertaining....Hurd will take many shots & if he can't take Jermell's punches then Jermell stops him but if Hurd can take his punches I still think Jermell wins on the cards. I don't THINK he would stay toe to toe as much as Lara did....Lara could have made the fight easier for himself & I don't know WHY he decided to **** with Hurd, maybe his legs are not what they were & time caught up to Lara or just a bad game plan?

Sounds like a missmatch.

Trout schooled his brother though.

BUT his brother did clearly win the fight.

THats too much shelf time. Charlo fight is still two months away. Between negotiations and camp... if he waits this fight won’t happen till at least September. Hurd can fight castaño in the summer and winner gets September PPV slot

get real bro none of these guys are ppv worthy

You mean the same bum who just beat Lara?

He fought on the Ortiz v Alexander undercard against some bum he’s shot easy work for Charlo

I'm not enthused. It could be worse though.

Lol....It might be a little closer than you think. Maybe....lol

Lol. Just making a little joke but I would most certainly favor Charlo.

I was shooting more towards being on the under card of a major fight than the headliner.

Trout deserves another money fight.........

Given Trout was in a FOY candidate with Hurd, even in a loss deserves another money fight. He gave the fans what they wanted a war and we as fans should support him because his corner stopped the fight and he was willing to go out on his shield. So, I hope Trout gets the payday he deserves for being a worthy opponent in championship fights and as a former champion.
