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

That's the thing with Lubin - he looks small to me for 154...but yeah I will be rooting for him, he seems like a good guy.

No idea why he didn't try his hand at 147. He's a small LMW but has good pop. But I mean if he is more comfortable at LMW then so be it. He could hang with any of the top LMWs. I believe in him and think he can get in the P4P rankings eventually. He's that type of talent.

Man that puts it in perspective doesn't it. They wanted to let that fight marinate and they both lost lol. That's why I hate and love boxing I guess.

I hope J-Rock goes for undisputed first! Let Hurd give Lara a rematch!

You’re not ****** I’m assuming or else you would never say that. All I think about is food, whether I’m training or trying to sleep. Don’t speak for people if you don’t know. We carry on with life but it’s definitely phases everyone. It’s a sacrifice and it 100% feels like it for each of those 40 days. I won’t call you names because you’re just ignorant. Hey try it for yourself.

Man wasn't trying to offend - all I was saying it to perform at a world class level in those conditions can only mean a couple things - 1) these world class athletes manage it better than we think or 2) it doesn't affect them that much. I tend to go with option number 1.

For JRock and those soccer players to perform like that in those conditions is very impressive, it's a compliment lol.

Damn what a fight! The bully got his face lit up tonight!

[MDPopescu]

he probably fought to make weight tonight -- he looked week...

Hope so! He is still young so has some time to grow into it, mentally physically emotionally etc

As a Lara fan, and someone who had Lara winning that one 7-5, I don't know if I want Lara to take that fight again!! Lol. A lot of punishment at his age.

But it would be exciting. I hope Hurd tweaks his style. Hate to see a man taking punishment like that. And I hope Lara gets another shot at a belt.

But should be some good fights at 154!!

I honestly think Jrock is just the better fighter now that hes learned from the charlo fight.

Nice thanks man - I almost always like your posts and I know you keep it real so I'm sure that's about where it was/where I would have had it.

I’m not fully confident though, the stream was awful. A guy would land a combo and the steam would freeze and go back ten seconds and I’d be like “is that the same combo? Or is he getting lit up?”

So I do plan on scoring again lol

Cunningham was perfect for him. That is a no nonsense trainer and Lubin is still young enough where he will listen to him and grow with him. Broner is a whole another story as he is what he is at this point.

Lubin at the age of like 17 or 18 was laying a beating on Amir Imam in sparring. He was the most highly touted US amateur at one point so he had good hype behind him. Went for a title shot super early in his career and just got caught and sparked in the 1st round. It happens, as long as mentally he tough enough to overcome it, then he will be just fine.
