This is not a video of the fight. It has like a round or two then spoils the ending. Awesome.
This fight was hardly close. Well done team Williams..
2 judges called it a draw other than the knockdown….crazy. Hurd worked hard but got his butt kicked. He may have won 2 or 3 max rounds. Should have been at least a 6 point differential. 117-110 was my call
too hard battle. Great to watch, but Hurd career will be short if he continues like that. Hagler was taking punches better than him but was doing all what is possible to avoid them. Hurd needs to improve his defense: with such a huge frame he should get hit less. I like him a lot but Williams deserved to win.
HURD was HURT, simply outboxed by a better boxer on the night. I believe that the same result would be evident in a rematch unless Hurt improves his defence
