  • Well duh. Not J-Rock’s fault Hurd didn’t want an immediate rematch but hopefully he is back in the ring quickly after this exhibition

  • the champion has not fought in 8 months, but really when you are a two organization champion, the first person given the chance should be the number one contender. even today, with so many multiple champions, champions should always offer the number one contender the first crack, even if they don’t deserve to be that number one. I don’t blame Williams, he is earning a living, and if he is allowed to do this, all power to him, it is a tough sport. But it is apparent mismatches like this that hurt boxing.
