Hurd big problem is not only did he get hit so clean (2018 top five fight against Lara) but he was cutting way to much weight. He was walking around at least 200 if not more
Even changing his style was a fail because his boxing is mid...that swift doubleheader was a godawful night of boxing

Hurd should be fighting at a heavier division but those bigger opponents with bigger power would put their foot in his ass

Not just that but let's say he decided to fight between 168 and cruiser, even by their standards his hand speed would be slow as fukk.

He fights like those old Mexican warriors that only know one direction and that's forward. Somebody like Plant or Bivol who throws combinations would box him to a pulp.

Stanionis-Ortiz new date

Eimantas Stanionis, the WBA secondary welterweight titleholder, has recovered from an emergency appendectomy in early January that forced his mandatory defense against Vergil Ortiz Jr. to be postponed and the fight is back on track.

It is penciled in to headline a Golden Boy card on April 29 on DAZN, Golden Boy president Eric Gomez, Ortiz’s promoter, and Stanionis manager Shelly Finkel told Fight Freaks Unite on Tuesday. It was originally scheduled for March 18.

The plan is still for the bout to take place at a site to be determined in the Dallas region, where Ortiz is from.

“Eimantas will be fine. He is fine and April 29 is OK for us,” Finkel said. “He could have been ready to go earlier in April.”

The winner of the fight will be mandated to next face WBA “super” titleholder Errol Spence Jr., a three-belt titlist, although Spence is likely to first face WBC mandatory challenger and former unified titlist Keith Thurman when he returns in the spring (and that fight probably will be at junior middleweight).

Stanionis (14-0, 9 KOs), 28, of Lithuania, and Ortiz (19-0, 19 KOs), 24, of Grand Prairie, Texas, were both limited to just one fight apiece in 2022. Stanionis won the “regular” belt by action-packed split decision over Radzhab Butaev in April. Ortiz dominated and knocked out Michael McKinson in the ninth round in August.

Golden Boy won the promotional rights to the bout at a purse bid in mid-December for $2.3 million to beat an offer of $2,100,100 made by TGB Promotions.
