[p4pking]

Hurd getting this would be a bonafide robbery.

[Spicoli]

Dan Rafael has Hurd in front, the bookies have Williams strong favourite (in front).

Like you two I have Williams in front (but need Hurd)

You're no Fat Dan Fenster! Dammit man

Bit wtf to cut to commercial here before they announce

[Spicoli]

Good on Williams, really a hell of a long journey to now stand with multiple titles. Impressed all around and sober judges . Very good.

[Fenster]

Fuck me, they waited three days to announce the scores then didn't even give a robbery. Draw wasn't even close.

[p4pking]

Right guy won, thought even those cards were too close. Hurd didnt take 5 rds.

[palmerq]

Well at least Jarret hurds mother will have cooked something nice for dinner :S...

Got bellayor on dazn, funny KO in page v lima fight

[johnsebastianmiran]

Hurd is going to have to be a faster starter from now on and as far as Williams was concerned change is good, I enjoyed the action.

[powerpuncher]

Good win for Williams. He had a great gameplan. He didn’t fade like the rest of Hurd’s opponents. He was the fresh one at the end of the fight. That weight class is basically wide open at this point.

Julian Williams beats undefeated Jarrett Hurd to land IBF and WBA titles

Undefeated Jarrett Hurd lost his IBF and WBA super welterweight world titles after a shocking defeat by Julian Williams in Virginia on Saturday.

Hurd suffered the first knockdown of his career and lost the fight by a unanimous decision.

The judges scored the bout 116-111 115-112 115-112 in favour of Williams, 29, whose record improves to 27-1-1.

"J-Rock was a better man tonight. I'll be back," 28-year-old Hurd told the crowd at Fairfax's EagleBank Arena.

"He put me down for the first time in my career and he came out with the victory," he added.

Hurd was cut around his right eye in the eighth round, but went the whole 12 rounds in a bid to retain his titles.

"I'm just so blessed," said Williams, who has won five fights since his sole defeat, a fifth-round knockout by Jermall Charlo in December 2016.

"I worked so hard," Williams added. "They told me I was done. They told me I had no chin. I just got basic.

"The boxing world should stop condemning fighters after they take a loss. It's boxing, things happen. Plenty of great fighters took losses."



London-based Ghanaian Isaac Dogboe lost his WBO world super bantamweight rematch against Emanuel Navarrete in Tucson, Arizona.

The 24-year-old, who describes himself as "born in Ghana, made in Britain", suffered a technical knockout in the 12th round.

Dogboe's father and coach Paul threw in the towel after being handed a second loss following the pair's initial bout five months ago at Madison Square Garden.

"The fight was not over. It is not over until it actually is. Hats off to him. He did a great job being the champion," Dogboe said.

Berchelt retains super featherweight world title
Miguel Berchelt retained his WBC super featherweight world title, defeating fellow Mexican Francisco Vargas in a sixth-round stoppage at Convention Center arena in Tucson, Arizona.

Berchelt, 27, won by technical knockout and improved to 36-1 with 32 knockouts in a rematch of their 2017 fight.

"He gave me my first opportunity for a world title so it is only fair I give him a shot to win it back," Berchelt said. "But his corner did the right thing."

"My trainer did what he is supposed to do. He is here to protect me," 34-year-old Vargas said after trainer Joel Diaz threw in the towel.

The Williams guy was hungry and Hurd looked like he wasone more win away from Hollywood roles.

[Master]

Just watched the pre-show and countdown. Both guys were hamble and hard working with interesting back stories.

Just need to watch the time.

[Baal]

Very good fight. Hurd learn need prove P4P

119 Williams
108 Hurd

[Kirkland Laing]

I saw this fight and I think Hurd is all done at the top level. If his size and strength advantage doesn't work against Williams then he's basically past his best now. I think the rematch will be more one sided and then Hurd will really be struggling.
