Comments Thread For: Jarrett Hurd Ready For Welborn, Eyes Charlo Unification Next

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

When Jarret Hurd’s short left hook dropped southpaw Erislandy Lara with 37 seconds in their 154-pound title unification in April, his blow was the difference between losing and winning a split-decision that added Lara’s WBA crown to his IBF version. But the screaming fans who packed the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas were unaware of the pain shooting through Hurd’s left shoulder throughout the night from a torn rotator cuff he first noticed in February that required post-fight arthroscopic surgery and more than six weeks of physical therapy and rehabilitation.

This Hurd/Charlo fight would be massive next year, thats if they build it up properly. They seems to be at the same stage in careers and resume. It should be a massive PPV fight next year with the right build up.

Damn, I just read that on BLH. They had about 50 days to get the testing in. I know lives and schedules can be complicated but you'd also hope they would make it a priority with fights happening in December. It's not a good look for the brothers who have had some su****ions about them in the past.

This sounds a little better than a couple of weeks ago, when he was talking about fighting twice before Charlo! MAN UP!

November 23, 2018:

The WBC continues to work toward making the sport of boxing that much better, with its emphasis on regular PED testing, via their “Clean Boxing Program.”

Testing in that spehere is performed by VADA, the Voluntary Anti-Drug Association, and the program has been in effect since May 2016.

The adherence to the CPB has been pretty solid and even critical sorts who tend to nitpick the sanctioning bodies at any and every turn have offered props to Mauricio Sulaiman, the WBC boss, for trying to push the players in the game to compete on level playing fields.

Part of that best-case construct has to come from peer pressure and a certain level of transparency about the program, who is taking part, and who isn’t.

The WBC put out a few days ago an update; from Oct. 1 to Nov. 20, there were 28 tests attempted by VADA within the CPB protocol, and 22 were completed. There were six missed tests, and one positive—a sample for Kevin Lerena tested positive for clompihene Oct. 18 in South Africa.

A WBC official informed me that these six athletes missed tests during the Oct. 1-Nov. 20 testing span: Paddy Barnes, Lodumo Lamati, Jermall Charlo, Jermell Charlo, Juan José Velasco, and Patrick Texeira.

The flyweight Barnes, an Irishman, is to fight TBA Dec. 22 in England. He is 5-1 and lost via KO in his last scrap, on Aug. 18.

The South African super bantam Lamati last fought in June, and holds a 14-0-1 mark.

The 20-1 Argentine Velasco is to fight Dec. 15 in Buenos Ares. He last fought July 14, losing to Regis Prograis.

The 29-1 Brazilian Texiera last fought Sept. 1, beating Nathaniel Gallimore.

The 31-0 Charlo, Jermell, is to fight Dec. 22 against Tony Harrison, in Brooklyn. Jermall Charlo, who holds a 27-0 mark, is to fight Willie Monroe on Dec. 22, on the same card as his twin Jermell.

My three cents: You want to give benefits of doubt. You understand that people travel, people miscommunicate, life is complicated. But for stringent testing to work, all parties have to make their best effort to be on board. Here’s hoping moving forward the five fighters get on the same page as testers so no clouds of doubt hang over their heads.

that fight with Charlo is a hell of a fight when it eventually comes around

PPV? No way, neither have headlined big cards before. Heck, Jermall will be the main even on the 22nd and not Jermell. This is a regular SHO showdown, no PPV.

If you look at PBC recent blueprint then you can see the possibility of this fight ending up on PPV.

Not really. Hurd nor Charlo are anywhere near the level of Wilder/Broner/Pacquiao or even Spence/Garcia. Again, these guys haven't even headlined a SHO card yet. Espinoza is airing this fight on SHO and pretty much has said so already.

If Wilder/Fury does decent numbers, good chance Wilder at this point will be a PPV fighter the rest of the way. Spence vs Thurman may be PPV as well as him against Crawford.

Hurd vs Charlo? Nah, that ain't it.
