He looked huge. He looked like he weighed about a 175 lb.

There was a report of the weights on ESPN, I believe or here. I will try to find it.
Showtime or HBO weights I take with a grain of salt. If they didn't get on network scales they'd probably use whatever they couldLast edited by jreckoning; 04-08-2018, 11:47 AM.

For those claiming that his weight was 163 "just because Showtime listed that as his fight weight" should also go to Showtime's website, look up the Lara v Hurd fight info - and see that it CLEARLY says Lara is 5'9 and Hurd is (drumroll).....also 5'9.
Now, if people are of the ilk that "Well, if Showtime said it, then it must be gospel" then you're outside your tree. If you believe that Hurd and Lara are the same height, I don't know what to tell ya.

Originally posted by boliodogs View Postyes they did say. You just weren't watching when they gave the fight night weights. Hurd weighed 163 and lara weighed 162 on fight night. Wow! A 1 pound weight bully. Trout weighed over 170 in the ring when he fought cotto. He probably weighed the same when hurd knocked him out. Hurd isn't a weight bully. He makes weight easily as 153 should tell us. He only gains 9 pounds from the weigh in to the fight. Weight bully is just an excuse to trash a damn good champion.

The crazy thing about Hurd is not his height. It's that while being tall, he doesn't have the lanky skinny look most people of his height have when fighting at a low weight (think Paul Williams, Tommy Hearns, Caballero, Funeka, etc.)
It's just the way he's built, he looks heavier than what he is. Let's be honest, even at the weigh in, when we factually know he weighed in 153, our eyes tell us he must be heavier.

Originally posted by BigZ44 View PostRight, but I know Showtime showed 162 and 163 for Lara and Hurd, but J-Rock was 170. J-Rock's fight was an IBF eliminator, so I assume they are under the same rehydration rules. Just seems odd to me that Showtime would use the official IBF morning weights for the Lara/Hurd fight but then use weights from I guess just before the fight for Williams/Gallimore. That is at least why I assumed that all the weights were from just before their fights and not the morning of, IBF rehyrdation weights.
Whatever Hurd weighed and I believe it was more than 163 for sure, he made weight and the second day weight so he followed all the rules to become champ so props!

Originally posted by jreckoning View PostWilliams had to be under 164 in the morning or the IBF wouldn't have sanctioned the eliminator. It's why Danny Jacobs couldn't fight for the IBF title against Golovkin because he refused to weigh in same day morning.
