Comments Thread For: Weekend Review: Jarret Hurd Arrives, DeGale-Truax Not Pretty

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Jarrett Hurd: To appreciate what Hurd accomplished in his split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara on Saturday night in Las Vegas, one could look at the loser. Lara is one of the most-gifted active boxers, arguably the best fighter from Cuba since the heyday of Jose Napoles and Luis Rodriguez. He is a former amateur star. He is experienced, having fought professionally for a decade. And, because of his excellent defensive skills, he's as fresh as any 34-year-old.

The Hurd-Lara fight was awesome and the majority decision was perfect. I didn't agree with Farhood's card and some of the things the Showtime guys were saying. I think Hurd won that fight convincingly with aggression and by banging Lara's body, but it was close for sure. Hurd needs to move on leave Lara out of the title picture. He had his title fairly taken, and it's time his reign is over.

DeGale-Truax was ****ing boring. The whole fight was *missed punch, missed punch, missed punch, headbutt* for twelve rounds

The other two fights were great though.
