Draw was fair imo. They had rounds were Hurd would start nice jabbing and then in the final minute, Rosario would take over with big shots. It wasn’t a great fight but a good one and I wouldn’t have a problem with a rematch, but neither of these guys will ever be champion again.
Cool. Now they can both grab a beer, and talk about their respect retirement plans. A great way for the 2 of them to end their careers. A draw. They are both safe. Now they can leave the sport in peace.
Yeah, I was a little disappointed with this card. I had it five to five too. Hurd banked some early rounds with that thudding jab, but Rosario has some bigger punches. Maybe this gets them both one more fight either with each other or someone else. Remember 160 is there for the taking!
Killa, I applaud both of them. These are real men who fight real fights. They are not pussies like Imane Khelif & Timothy Walz. Both Hurd & Rosario are 2 very cool guy that will be remembered. Neither is good enough to get into the IBHOF. Then again, Imane Khelif will never get into the Women’s Hall of Fame. He is not a woman, and only women qualify for that.
2 guys. Not guy. Sorry for the grammatical error. I was working & typing at the same time. To the chagrin of the low life liberals, some of us actually have job, pay bills, and pay taxes.
Dude if you are one there of plenty of places you can talk politics. Could you possibly keep this to your opinions on boxing.
I believe he mostly covered boxing in his post, but if you are offended then oh well, huh!
love it. feel bad for the weak kneed posters.
You got that right, lekaren! Have a great day and don’t work too hard.
Both Imane Khelif & Timothy Walz are out there making it happen.
Yeah, shite happens too.
This was a decent fight and I had it as a draw. Hurd was upset with the decision but gave away the final round when he should have been fighting hard.
I had it 96 94 Hurd. I did pick Hurd to win so that is probably why I leaned a little towards him in a close fight. Malignaggi had a good analysis that Hurd seems to be lacking the mental fire. Strangely this fight reminded me a little of when Holyfield fought Savarese. Like Holyfield Savarese, it was actually a good fight where the fighters did not look shot. Still snap on their punches and able to sustain a good pace but also both lacking what is needed to be a real force in the division any more. That said still a good fight for fans too enjoy.
I was just thinking..a better comparison for Hurd would be Joe Joyce. Both guys took a lot of shots and would emerge victorious. As soon as it did not work and they lost…neither was ever the same.
