    Who should J-rock fight next? I think he is going to fight before the year is over. I think his win over Gallimore is overrated considering what Patrick Texiera did to him. I doubt he getting a title shot next. I think he should fight Tony Harrison or Vanes to see if he ready for a belt.

    He should fight Munguia.

    J-Rock ruined Gallimore mentally I think. Outboxed and outfought him. I'd like to see him and Patrick give it a go.

    That’s what I think sorta like Lemeiux and Linares after a big lost.. it took a while to bounce back.. Gallimore completely almost his confidence after J-Rock beat him..

    It’s crazy because Charlo made forget how good J-Rock is.. Many expected him to best Charlo but obviously Charlos power was the big difference.. He’s Hurd mandatory so let’s see if he will get the shot since Hurd is not fighting Jermell.. I think he poise a stylistic threat that Trout and Lara(Both are 5’9 vs Hurds 6’1) couldn’t due to size difference( J-Rock is 5’11 to 6’0)..

    J-Rock can beat anyone in the division on a good night I think. He won a couple of rounds clear against Charlo. If he boxed the perfect fight he could beat Hurd. It's just the latter stretch that worries me. That's when most fade against Hurd due to his size and pressure

    Technically Jrock is a very good fighter, but im not sure how durable he is. Vanes would be a good test.

    Munguia is all wrong for Jrock, he is very big for 154lb and can punch, Vanes is more skilled but cant punch as hard. Vanes vs Jrock 50/50 fight.

    Munguia isn’t ready for anybody near the top of 154. Guy is green.

    Correct but the huge difference i see in Hurd and Jermall Charlo(Both guys are the same size) is power.. Without Jermalls power you’re talking about maybe a full 12 rd fight between the two but he had the ultimate eraser which ended the fight.. Hurd doesn’t have that punch that Jermall has he’s more of a brawler.. I can see Hurd winning a 7-5 fight against J-Rock where as I knew Charlo was going to KO J-Rock

    Winner of Mundine vs Horn would be a good test.
