Comments Thread For: Julian Williams: I Want To Make My Mark on Boxing History

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Thomas Gerbasi - Six pounds. Far enough to keep Julian Williams' Saturday title fight at 154 against Jarrett Hurd, but close enough to remind the Philadelphian that there is a history in his city for those who competed at or around 160 pounds, history he is expected to add to by becoming a world champion in Fairfa...

Hurd would be a good place to start.

Just don't get hit early in the game or else sayonara!

Jayrock is a live dog in this fight

PBC doing a great job with 154 division.

I kinda disagree. I could see a situation where he gets dropped early. Hurd thinks he’s finished. Then Julian mounts a comeback and boxes Hurd up.

If J Rock boxes as well as he can, this will be a great fight.

that Charlo KO was a thing of beauty - I don't know if Charlo will ever reproduce that in an important fight or if J-Rock will ever have to again face such a crushing counter.

Hurd is one of my favorite boxers - love his attitude, the head of steam he builds up, the relentlessness. Great to watch but maybe not so great for his health.

I like Williams too and hope Bread has success in his corner - but somehow if both perform to their highest levels I can't see Williams getting the nod. Getting by Lara will have raised Hurd's confidence to ridiculous levels.

If Williams is to win he'll have to out box (easier) and out dog (not easy) Hurd

I'm rooting for J-Rock, but I just don't see it.

This is a tough fight for Hurd.

I can see him falling behind and needing a KD or KO to win again.

I don't know how much longer he can fight those kinds of fight.

This might be the fight he just can't pull it off.

I'll still be rooting for Hurd.
