    Former WBA Light Welterweight champion Diosbelys "The Oriental Kid" Hurtado will make a comeback this Friday. Hurtado will be facing two-time world title challenger Arturo Morua for the vacant WBO Latino Welterweight title. It will be televised live at 11:35 PM by the Telemundo Network. Hurtado who clamed his title by KO-ing Randall "The Knock-Out King" Bailey in the 7th round is also remembered for his 3 losses to Pernell Whitaker, Kostya Tszyu and Vivian Harris.

    I hope Hurtado wins,the dude has been threw much along the years and has been in the ring with tough guys always.He is somewhat of a throwback.His chances of winning a world title are slim tough.

    Yeah man,it's like years since I've known him on the top level.It's what 10 years since he got stopped by Tszyu and 12 by Pernell.He had a small running with Mayorga about 10 years ago too.That's character to comeback.

    Yeah me too, I don't know if he will have much of a chance of winning a title (I personally think he should have gone up to 154 or stayed at 140 if he could make it.) but the best of luck to him anyways.

    Hurtado could have been a durable champion if his managers had help him...but his managers were a mess-he fought Kostya Tzyiu only 1 wk noticed (2 wks earlier he won a 12 rds UD)..that's crazy.
    still,his chin always been his Achilles tendon.
