    Lara is prime now, hasn't lost a round in years

    Stop trying to hedge your opinion

    If angulo can have that much success against a better version of Lara then hurry could definitely do that and worse and hurd is not as basic as angulo

    Lara will give away to much rounds by running and will cry robbery after he lost.

    good fight. i would like to think lara is in good shape. learned from the angulo fight years back. and became a better fighter. lara ud is what i think should happen.

    hurd is a on a roll right now. no secret wat either of these fighters wanna do in the fight. hurds gonna pressure will lara be able to out box or is the pressure gonna be too much once it comes to deep waters where hurd to

    Lara hasn't fought a worthy opponent since Canelo, for all we know he may of slipped, Hurd will test him and we will find out.

    Sounds like you just don't want to give Hurd any credit, pretty poor form really.

    Hurd is a nightmare for the American dream

    If Lara still has something he should win but if he has slipped Hurd will keep coming all night long and could beat him.

    In a nutshell, Hurd was severely outboxed by the 2 best opponents he faced for the
    majority of their respective fights, credit to him he has a chin and power and caught up
    and stopped his guys (true champ), but Lara is far better defensively and offensively.
    Hurd's people should steer him away from Lara if they wanna keep milking him.

    His always a mess in every fight because he just walks forward and takes punchers

    I'm not saying he was out of shape before. I meant Hurd will get stronger as the fight goes.

    Andy Lee was way more skilled than JCC Jr, too. As was Lebedev vs Guillermo. I don't doubt that Lara should be up on the cards when it happens, but I think Hurd will Frankenstein his way to victory in the second half of the fight nonetheless.

    Very difficult to outbox Lara I expect a UD.

    True, lets see. I think it's a 50-50 match.
