Comments Thread For: Jarrett Hurd vs. Erislandy Lara Rematch Ordered

[Illmatic94]

I'm not mad at a rematch it was a great fight and FOTY for me.

But Lara took the worse of it. More punishment awaits him in the sequel.

Hurd looks like a SMW but fck it if he makes 154 then so be it. But he eats entirely too many flush punches and already sounds kinda punchy. That defense needs to tighten up asap.

And if Trout has anything left he gives Charlo a great scrap like he did the other brother. That fight also was determined in the last round.

Huh... Not sure how I feel. I think it's legit, and the first fight was close, but I kinda want to see the division move on.

It seems like we get so few rematches these days, and there have been some this year that I wouldn't mind seeing again. Wilder/Ortiz and Hurd/Lara are two of them. I'm more surprised that a sanctioning body actually ORDERED a rematch. Anyone know when was the last time they did that?

Damn the WBA let Lara fight cans for years and now he loses and they make Hurd fight him again immediately.

They're the ones who didn't even attempt to make the Andrade vs Lara fight.
Been wondering about this shady guy at WBA.
What's his name? Someone in the media should put him on the spot.
Something strange......

No wba..... just no let Hurd/Charlo happen next

That surprised me too, but I don't follow the ABCs enough to know if that's as unusual as I thought it was.

easy work for Hurd this time round.

[rickJen]

Question is how is a purse bid going to go when both are PBC fighters?
Hurd made it clear in the post fight he's calling the shots now.

[Squ□redCircle34]

Hurd got more confidence now that he knows Lara can't hurt him, he Will walk forward with more determination of eminent destruction!

Lara must use his legs more and the ring, victory is possible if he stays off the ropes and potshots his way!

[MachoPower]

This time Lara will be running like never before. That is the only way he wins the rematch. Run and run some more. ..
