There definitely should be a Lara-Hurd rematch! Their first fight is Fight of the Year. Lara could have easily got the decision. Showtime, me, and a great many others had Lara winning that all-out brawl. If he had managed to stay on his feet the last 30 seconds it would have been a draw.
All this talk about Hurd-Charlo is a bunch of bs. If Lara had got the decision he deserved, everyone would be calling for a rematch. My god, Hurd and Lara both showed unbelievable heart, stamina, chin, and grit! It was seriously like a Barrera-Morales fight except at 154. Anyone not calling for a rematch is an idiot. Everyone cried about Lara using movement to befuddle Canelo and so Lara stood right in front of the giant Hurd and traded with him for all 12 rounds! Never once backing up, never once using movement to outbox the much bigger Hurd. Lara deserves a rematch and all the credit in the world. That one fight alone most likely will result in brain damage for both fighters a decade from now.
As for Munguia and J-Rock, I don't see Munguia taking that big of a risk. Williams would probably be the favorite. It would be a great match-up and could lead many sitting on the fence to cough up the money for the ppv.
This would be a very good fight. Williams is a bigger version of Sadam Ali but I have a hard time seeing this get made.
I see a guy like Kamegai or Teixeira getting Munguia next. This is a showcase fight at best. There will be no real threat in this fight for Munguia.
Why would Zanfer or Golden Boy want to put in Munguia versus a legit threat on this under card? This would be his 4th fight in 8 months. It wouldn't make a bit of sense to burn this young gun out already.
Kamegai can take a punch but he got hit with the most flush punches I’ve ever seen in one fight
