Brook made a career out of ducking for the most part then got fed to GGG because Hearn couldn't deliver him a payday. They will avoid all the top LMW until Khan grants them a payday
Id like to see Brook take another fight before this. We were all a bit wary about his new face and 1st step up to 154 and hes only had 1 and a half rounds. We havnt learnt that much even though it was a decent opponant. But if it happens im certainly not going to give it a miss. I just have a bad feeling about this one for Brook. Hurd is a huge guy at the weight.
I really want to see this fight as I feel Brook will comprehensively beat Hurd, but I want Brook to have another fight at 154 first vs a more testing durable opponent. Fight someone in the top 5-10 next then go for Hurd in October.
Hurd is smart to chase the money before his prime runs out on him. That style gives him a high ceiling but a short peak.
The fight never happens Brook said he's about to retire after Khan. Hurd has zero fan base. Brook would be better off fight Sam Eggington or some random U.K. Fighter. Matthew Hatton back in the day was a bigger draw than Hurd
