Erislandy Lara, the longest reigning world champion at 154-pounds, will clash with IBF champion "Swift" Jarrett Hurd in a highly-anticipated super welterweight title unification live on SHOWTIME (10 pm ET/7 pm PT) as part of an exciting card presented by Premier Boxing Champions Saturday, April 7 from The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

I know styles make fights and triangle theories don't work but at no point in the Lara-Trout fight did Lara have anywhere near the trouble with Trout as Jarrett Hurd did when he was getting UNDRESSED by Trout in the first half of that fight.

As long as Erislandy doesn't get tired or careless, I don't see how Jarrett Hurd wins this fight.

Oh sh^t. I may have to go check this one out. Hope the tickets are crazy like Garcia vs Rios. Being at Hard Rock I'd be surprised if they are.

Expected the DeGale fight to be on a Warren card but is their deal off now? I didn't realise Floyd was involved with any of these fighters, one of the 4 signing with him?

Mayweather Promotions promoted fights that none of their boxers are in the main events
Top Rank or Golden boy would never do that

Truax likely didnt want to fight in the UK.

I think Hurd is making a mistake fighting Lara. He doesn't have the skill to beat him and I expect a wide points decision. I also expect DeGale to beat truax by decision if he can return to form because he was awful in their first fight.

Haymon's got a different set up than most.

Closest thing to it that I can come up with is the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), where you had promoters controlling cities/towns and the top talent was shared together.

Michel has Montreal/Canada, Lou DiBella has New York City/Northeast, Tom Brown has California, Floyd has Las Vegas, Schaefer bounces around CA/NV/TX, Warriors Boxing has Chicago/FL, and then these promoters work together to cover any non-defined markets (can add in Eddie Hearn, Sampson, and Salita, too).

With one largely common pool of talent, you eliminate near all of the headaches

Hurd by stoppage.

Degale never had a deal with Frank. It was a one-off show (although Lee Selby signed to Warren)

Same thing here. TGB and Mayweather Promotions are just fronts for Haymon fighters.. I'm sure the untelevised fights will feature plenty of Mayweather's fighters though.
