Hurd took Williams lightly

[leathernvouges]

It didn’t look like the same Hurd that fought Lara, he looked tired early and that’s his biggest attribute his endurance and durability and he paid the price

Well when you're cutting like 36lbs just to make 154 then maybe, just maybe it isn't the fact he lacked endurance and durability. It 100% has something to do with the weight-cut, you can only get away with that sorta crap for so long, he should move to 160-168, but doing so might expose him, he might not be as good as you think he is.

I dont think he’s good at all but his success comes from his ability to take his opponents best punches for 6/7 rnds until they’re tired of swinging

hurd did not take Williams lightly he took him heavily and looked at least 20 lbs heavier. they gotta do something about the epidemic of big guys fighting little guys claiming they are same weight.

Agreed, I'm becoming more and more in favour of something being done about this. Kinda think the only way something gets done is if we have a high profile boxer have a life changing situation from a bad weight-cut. The sport is very slow with evolving.

30 years ago if guys took off that much weight to stay in a division where they do not belong they would collapse by around the 5th round. they got to have some drug that allows them to shed 3 divisions of weight and stay strong enough to go the distance

Wiliams wasn't small enough for Hurd to completely weight bully. He will be looking to move down to 147 soon.

Also, Williams was landing crippling body shots early-mid-to-late fight and think they took all his energy and power.

[HarvardBlue]

The body shots and the drastic weight cut. His punches were mostly slaps rather than the thuding blows he was landing on other opponents.

It's still not an excuse though. Williams was prepared, had a game plan, and in excellent shape.

I honestly don't think he did. This is why you can't bullrush people in higher weight divisions. J-Rock has above average pop for his division. You can't just walk through everybody in those higher divisions man. I thought Hurd would stop J-Rock, but man oh man.
