J Rock not only unanimously defeated undefeated p4er Jarred Hurd last night but he also did it with absolute humility and zero gloating. This man has become one of my favourite fighters overnight.
I was always aware of his skills but he made an excellent point last night, also referencing Hurd when he said fans and media need to stop with the hate when a fighter takes a loss. He showed complete class and even mentioned Hurds mother.
He must have been in a pretty bad place after the Charlo loss, Although there was no shame in that. The Charlo kid caught JRock with a one in a million counter uppercut. But hes been slowly building himself back up and was thoroughly deserving last night.
Contrast that with the night he lost against Charlo and Jermall showed a complete lack of class in his initial failure to even check on the condition of his opponent and even after JRock got back to his feet he was trying to engage with Charlo and congratulate him but Charlo wasn't interested. He showed some terrible sportsmanship that night.
I also tab J Rock to beat Hurd and Charlo in a rematch.
