Comments Thread For: Julian Williams Drops, Shocks Jarrett Hurd For Unified Crown

He definitely over trained.

There was an interview of him after one of the press conferences leading up to the fight where he said the look in Garcia's eyes when they made eye contact shook him so much that he went straight to gym and sparred 18 rounds straight.

If he kept doing this every time he saw Garcia or every time he thought about Garcia I can imagine that he must have really overtrained.

Yep I seen that interview and when I heard that, that's what kinda got me thinking along those lines that dude might be over doing it a bit in training, the fight was still pretty far away at that point as well to be doing 18 rounds in camp If I remember correctly..

just finished watching hurd-williams, missed the live show because the power went off in the block. can't believe what an awesome fight i missed, fuck. happy for williams, seems like a cool, classy dude. hurd's no deffense style makes him one of the most fun to watch fighters of the division but seriously, needs to get better.

I bet Hurd will fight Charlo now that he doesn't have his belts. But one thing I saw in Hurd is that early on in the fight he was slipping punches and countering well. But then as the fight went on he just stopped using his defensive tools. So he knows how to protect himself but he just doesn't stick to it since he's been getting away with it. Now he knows that he can't rely on just using his size to wear down opponents there are other ways to win. And if he gets his defense together he'll be back. Hopefully he learns from it. I still want to see Charlo-Hurd!

I think it's just that time Hurd moves up in weight period. He had been talking about it for a minute anyways.

I mean If you have to cut 36 pounds within a 2 week period to make weight that's pushing it to the extreme, the writing was already on the wall..

Thats the type of ish that makes me open to same day weigh ins... fight people yall own danm size for COL

JRock is getting stopped!

You could count on one hand the amount of clean/flush shots he took against Garcia. His defense was very sharp and he managed distance very well.

He could have over trained but I think part of that is he had a lot of weight to cut for that camp. Spence looked HUGE in some of those interviews before the fight. I do think having a 9 month break from the prior fight didn't help. Spence looks in better shape heading into this camp. If the snap still isn't there this fight, then he is just over growing the weight class and needs to move up soon. Porter will be more aggressive than Garcia and give Spence plenty of opportunities to get his power shots off so let's see how he looks.

Agreed

Wait... wasn't Hurd going on about unifications? Maybe one division north, but not at JMW. Many of us have said for a while now, Hurd is too big for JMW anyway. Just move up already. Geez.

Good on J Rock. I thought it was just a fluke his first title fight loss.
