    This was probably everything Lara had left in the tank. I see no reason he'd do better in the rematch. although I though Lara nicked it every so slightly(albeit my judgement is far from perfect now) It's hard to see Lara having an improved performance and Hurd not doing better.

    I’m very flexible in my taste
    I like Loma Kov GGG Spence, Wilder, Hurd, both Charlos, AJ

    JCCJ wouldn't have been able to use his skill to impose himself on a high quality operator in the manner that Hurd did as the fight wore on.

    I hated him for beating Trout and I hate him even more now.

    He’s ignorant and hates Hurd.

    People will believe what they want to believe.

    He didn't either, backing a guy to the ropes and pounding his arms for 8 rounds, barely landing clean until the 8th doesn't impress me much.

    Is there actually any evidence that Hurd struggles to make weight or comes in any heavier than other top fighters at 154? Never heard any

    Nope. Was watching on a high-quality HD feed on my TV. He was landing. Crystal clear. I was even wearing my glasses and everything!

    You would admit that they were all razor close and could go either way though, hell most of the rounds IB scored for Hurd, he added that note.

    Jarrett is a good kid
    Underrated by many

    Good work, thought the ref stopped a ko

    Lara was given about 25 seconds to recover

    J-ROCK might even be able to get the job done. He beat a very good inside fighter at his own game tonight when everyone questioned his prowess in that area, I'd make Charlo and J-Rock favorites in this fight.
