115-113 is way too close wtf

Williams' corner did well to have him out boxing in the beginning of some of the late rounds until the war start up again otherwise it could have been another one of those nights with the scorecards

Congratulations to J Rock. He fought like a champion and showed he earned/deserved it!

No Rematch at least not at 154, Hurd must move up to 160 this Draining stuff caught up with him and that is not to take away from J Rock in anyway

Lol Hurd didnt win more than 4 for sure lol even though the right man won, judging is still a huge joke

Judging was fair. There were three extremely close rounds in the middle of the fight. And I believe you gave the 3rd round to JRock that most gave it to Hurd.

Cards were good and the fight was great. All around this card delivered big.

97-93 is more than fair and exactly how I had it. Which of the first six rounds did Aleem win?

I think Korobov won tonight. I will watch again later

gotta say, that main announcer was horrible. every time a sorta-decent shot landed clean, he would go "OOH!!!" no matter who else was talking. often. it made me hate him, badly.

If and when Hurd finally moves up and fights guys his own damn size he is going out on a stretcher it's that simple you can't get hit as much as he does with clean monster shots from those bigger better fighters and stay up right. He is too slow no defense not much boxing skills. His only skill is he is bigger then 154lbers.

Great fight. Hurd is offensively a B-level fighter who has overpowered other B-level fighters due to a size advantage, but defensively he is an F-level fighter and always has been. That averages out to a C- fighter overall, up to C+ or B- when you factor in the size advantage at 154. For him to say he was P4P top 5... typical PBC hypejob in that regard. JRoc is a talented fighter with power and chin issues. None of this PBC crop of 154 were as good as hyped, but JRoc and Jermell have a lot going for them if they keep improving, as JRoc did tonight. Those were always the most talented of them, them and Lubin. Harrison is very skillful but has even worse chin, power (and stamina) issues than JRoc.

As a GGG fan those slips and body shots inside were making me jealous. Helps to have a punching bag in front of you but still JRoc showed elite skills inside. Very impressive in that regard.

Funny that Weisfeld is considered one of the best judges but he had it closer than it should have been.
