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

[_Rexy_]

It's all good. I didn't score it live, so can't say how many I would have given Hurd. But there were some close ones, and fighting at home I could see him getting 5 rounds probably. But JRock was clearly the better man. Only one winner tonight in that fight and that was him.

My stream died in the 11th, but I had it 96-93 JRock

Beautiful performance from Williams. The craft he showed on the inside was Sweet. Pleasure to have seen the fight.

That's fair, but JRock got stopped in the Charlo fight, but he didn't get dominated or out classed. It was VERY even and competitive up until the KO. JRock was brought back perfectly after the KO. I hope Lubin's team is patient the same way and brings up the same way before they give him another title shot.

And Lubin is another guy getting written off....Definitely a mistake for those that are doing that. He will be champion one day...Probably soon.

I liked Lubin ever since I saw him in the amateurs. Same with Spence for me in that regard - always liked lefties that can box.

Anyway I hope Lubin can get past that KO and become a champion. It looks like his team is bringing him along the right way as well.

I just thought when Hurd brought the heat tonight Williams would fold but he didn't. More power to him. You have to be a dog to go 12 rounds with Hurd like that.

J-Rock should go avenge the charlo lost!!!!! Hats off to hurd/williams for the wat they delivered!
What a fight!

Now that would be a fight I would watch. A good angle there.

When Charlo decided to fight Harrison, and Hurd decided to fight J-Rock, instead fighting each other, I thought that was a horrible plan! Lots of dough left on the table! 154 is on fire!

Charlo was coming off the Harrison loss at the time the Hurd/Jrock fight was made.

Hurd was coming off shoulder surgery at the end of 2018 so the Charlo fight wasn't possible.

Hurd/Charlo was like that cliche about two ships passing in the night.

Wow , was I wrong . I didn’t give j rock a chance in hell ,Fk was I wrong. Great fkn fight . Jrock you looked great tonight . Congratulations couldn’t be happier for this to happen to a classy good guy.

There’s nothing wrong with that though, we got spiked by the Mayweather era. When you fight good fighters you eventually lose. Mayweather was a multi-generational talent who will go down as the greatest counterpuncher ever. Most everyone else retires with losses if they faced the best in their primes

I like Mayweather and he was definitely a great boxer...but don't go around saying he faced the best in their primes. That just is not true - certainly not in his 'Money May' days. He made a lot of money that way though so not mad at him there.

I like Williams, but I would have never picked him over Hurd. Wow, has the landscape at 154 changed in 2019.

GREAT win for J-Rock.

Lubin is the goods, very skilled offensively but needs to tighten his defense up and just grow into his body. He's a small 154 pounder, but also young. Let him fight four times this year and have the last fight be against a top 10 LMW. Then give him a top level fighter like Castano in early 2020. There is a blueprint at 154 with how JRock was brought back from his TKO loss.
