History was made Saturday, April 7, 2018 in the Lara vs Hurd fight on Showtime.
Hurd was definitely the busier fighter, but Lara landed lead left hands at will early in the fight. When there was space, Lara was able to use his superior skills to his advantage, but when the fight went to the inside it benefited the 27-year-old Hurd.
But a knockdown in the final round ended up proving the margin of victory for Hurd, who dethroned the Cuban veteran Lara-ending his run of seven successful title defenses on the Showtime-televised card from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Jarrett Hurd's 12th-round knockdown of long-reigning champion Erislandy Lara secured his 154-pound title unification victory Saturday night in Las Vegas.

RIP to Hurd’s father. He and the Mrs raised a hell of a person!
Ppp00
wes
Word... RIP to poppa Hurd!!!
Raised a shitty fighter
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have to feel for Lara, he was hurt and really beat up but he refused to quit, a real man.
how? he was outboxing hurd easily. Its all politics
A real man doesn't fight in that shameful Lars running style.
@@kamalaharry9514 what a stupid comment
@@kamalaharry9514 lara didn’t run in this fight
@@OffBrisk it was back and forth, Hurd got it done
This is the biggest punishment Lara ever took, sheesh that was brutal. This kinda disproved everyone that said he was a runner and a punk, took it right to the bigger guy and without the knockdown this fight was a draw no doubt.
Yeah Hurd came in at 180
Lara is great. . . against Canelo too canelos face looked more damaged
@@salvadorrivas6089 You triggered eh? LOL
lara won a lot of rounds tho he fought a guy who walks around at 6-1 195 pounds and made 154 for the fight wich is unreal
I like how Lara have the big guy every single time in his corner and on the press conferences . They are like a Marvel duo
Where did the fight take place in a bingo hall?
Damm ! Sorry ma dawg Lara! You did soo good but the final knock down on the 12th round made the difference bro. But in ma books, you still the champion. I said it before that swift is a good fighter but can not be a long time raining champion like you were and it was reality. Remember how he got beat up by j rock Williams ,even got knocked down by j rock in the first round. And look at how j. Rock too got knocked out cold by the youngster Jason rosario. And when you compare and contrast all the statistics of these fighters, you are more special and different from them period.
Age is setting in
@@monkeydluffy7543 nah he gonna be solid a long time
Hurd fell off but we can appreciate what he has given us. Great fight.
he was always a weight bully
@@GuerreroDelInfo he was only eight pounds over on fight day lmao that’s way less than most
He was out for almost 11/2 years after this fight due to the punishment Lara inflicted on him.
@@reynaldolopez9221 he literally fought the same year Lmao wtf you talking bout
I thought Hurd was on his way to being the top dog at 154 until he lost to j rock at home I wonder if he would have beaten canelo or got a shot at canelo at 154
Something about this fight makes me comeback and watch it every now and then. Great effort by both these gentlemen
40:09 : Right hook + Headbutt combination by Lara only Shawn Porter can do a better one...
Lollll
He just threw his whole damn body 🤣
You obviously never saw a Bernard Hopkins fight! 🤣🤣
I remember watching this fight...one of the best fights I ever seen
Ur comment is the first one I’ve seen. I’ve never watched this fight, about to see is it as good as you say
@@marcusjohnson5420 Lara could just play Mayweather style and try to win in a very boring fight... not this night he tried to slugg with hurd...loved it
But some are calling the Cuban boring, what is wrong with those parrots?
And yet the called Lara a runer, fabricated by media And Oscar de la Joya to robe him against Canelo.
@@623charles120 He didn’t have a choice. Hurd was just gonna keep coming and you can’t just move around for 12 rounds cause you gonna gas and he’ll stop you. Hurd was just big as fuck in there Lara didn’t have a choice
Lara was fighting a Light Heavy Weight that night. I sometimes wonder if Hurd would’ve been able to take all those flush shots if it hadn’t been for the size advantage
I was thinking the same thing.
Where were you when Canelo invited Khan up two weight classes? That "weight bully" crap is only used on Black fighters FOH
@@thedhive6512 instead of fighting GGG he preferred a glass chin khan and moved him up 2 weight classes 💉🇲🇽🍒🦆
@Ricky Amoussou weight bullying is a dumb concept. If you make weight you make weight. In the hw division someone weighimg 215 would have to fight someone 275
Canelo alvares
Lara in there with a damn light heavyweight 🤣 respect ✊🏾
it
@OBJ OfficialBlackJustice ñ
and he won. I was at the mgm when lara fought canelo. That was the day i figured out boxing was all politics.
He won the fight. Man I'm mexican but I saw him winning against Canelo too. I don't know why people don't like cuban school.
@@OffBrisk My man that night was Canelo, and I was disappointed of his performance, I saw lara winning 7-5 or 8-4 but as you said, it's all politics
Hurd gets hit too much. He bases everything off of his athleticism. I always liked Lara, he has skills, great footwork, and can take a punch.
Out of all Lara's controversial and close decisions this one I have no problem with. This is by far the worst punishment he has taken a fight
@Aaron For real! Everybody forgot Carlos Molina outworked Lara pretty fairly. Same way Brian Castano did recently if I remember correctly.
@Aaron don’t try to discredit his ability, it’s unnecessary
@Aaron That’s not what was happening though Castano literally makes close fights for himself with that style he turns them into smothering matches. Hence the two draws. Now go ahead and tell me both the draws were robberies 🤨
Nothing but respect to Lara a great fighter
Lara amazing love him
Great Actually i dont think so
If hurd didnt weigh 180lbs lara wouldve knocked him out
lol keep crying
@@boss2654 crying? Hurd look huge
Can’t stand weight bullies
Agreed, he was huge, Lara shouldn’t of took this fight.
Hurd is the ultimate weight bully!
TRUTH
I agree
He should just move to 160
Lol dude just walk right into Lara’s straight left and nothing happens to him
Canelo has fought people that moved up two weight classes before. GTFOH with that weight bully garbage. You guys only use that trash on Black fighters
That uppercut left hook combo knocked the spit outta Lara. Great fight Hurd is a beast! Love to see Hurd v Jermell
He never granted Lara a rematch and was out of the ring for more than 1 year after their brutal fight, lara continue fightin after that, but Hurd losted never where very far holding it, that tell you all about Who realy was the toughest worrier between them.
@@reynaldolopez9221 false after Lara he fought in December the same year and He fought j rock in May in 2019 lost that fight then pandemic hit He's fought 2 or 3 times since then Stop talking nonsense
@lAbstract.Noir414 Lars Is older and yet doing better, Hurd is doing poorly and went up in weight so he has to deal with guys his size.
What a fight! Props to both dudes for giving it their all
Hurd is like a light heavyweight taking on junior middleweights. If Kovalev came down to middleweight, he too can kick some ass. Hurd should be fighting Kovalev and the like.
no way Kov makes MW, if he can make the weight it's fine
Should be fighting guys like Canelo, GGG, Jacobs and so on.
This was like Wright vs Williams.
Canelo knocked out kovalev. Who would have thought
Hurd fights almost exactly the same as Margarito..eats 3 to deliver 1
Margarito ? 😂😂😂😂he was garbage
Modern day classic
Lara wasn’t sticking and moving like he usually does and he doesn’t use combos.
114-113 Lara if it wasn’t for the knockdown it would be more a more clear cut but still close victory for Lara
Ahora sí le taparon todas las salidas por dónde quiera salir corriendo como siempre, te quedó grande el Zapato Lara, así es él Box, no toda la vida podrás uir del verdadero Boxeo
I still haven't seen no1 enpose their will on Lara like this Hurd gave u excitement every time out.
Hurd is too massive for 154...he should just move up
He is at 154 to take advantage of his size on smaller guys.
Erislandg deserves it for being a running bitch
They really showed a highlight after rd9 of Hurd landing baby punches on Lara’s gloves and praising Hurd 😂 BIAS
Hurd was losing on all 3 cards entering the last round.
The replay after 11th round kenney bayless looked like he was thinking how savage Lara is
Hurd tries to get in a defensive position and defend but he just tries and imitates Mayweathers high shoulder
What a great fight. This fight reminds me a lot of Antonio Margarito vs Miguel Cotto 1. Jarret Hurd coming forward, pressing the action, throwing a thousand power punches, and could not be hurt by any of Lara’s punches, just like Margarito in that fight. Lara was moving, showed more boxing skill and landed lots of big shots, but was able to be worn down by his bigger, relentless, and more resilient opponent, just like Miguel Cotto in the first Margarito fight (which I’m sure the illegal hand wraps had a lot to do with). Also, both fights were great, high contact fights that ended with a bang. Here’s how I scored this fight: Round 1: 10/9 Lara Round 2: 10/9 Lara (20-18) Round 3: 9/10 Hurd (29-28) Round 4: 9/10 Hurd (38-38) Round 5: 9/10 Hurd (47-48) Round 6: 9/10 Hurd (56-58) Round 7: 10/9 Lara (66-67) Round 8: 9/10 Hurd (75-77) Round 9: 9/10 Hurd (84-87) Round 10: 10/9 Lara (94-96) Round 11: 10/9 Lara (104-105) Round 12: 8/10 Hurd (112-115)
lara vs hurd can be a Good fight
sorry but rounds 4 and 5 are Lara's rounds 114-113 Lara won
@@musimehmedow9343 no, they aren’t Lara’s rounds. Official judges saw it correctly.
@@kdberry1997 judges saw it lol :D :D now look these rounds on slow motion and come again ;)
@@musimehmedow9343 well the judges scored the fight for the right guy, so your opinion is irrelevant. But I’m glad my comment on this video means so much to you.
Lara gives the opponent alot of time to punch him
boxers exposed 🤫
That 2-point round was the difference. I had it as a draw until that point. Great fight!
From the cards...the knock down saved Hurd.
Boxers exposed 🤫
Sad to see age got to Lara he would of won he was tired pure heart of champion respect bro 😎
Lara has absolutely all my respect literally was fighting a guy who weighs 190 pounds I still fight it beyond incredible how jarret Hurd at 6-1 makes 154 it’s The most impossible thing ever But one hell of a fight It was so close and if Hurd didn’t weight 30 pounds heavier then Lara he may have got knocked out bcuz Lara was tagging him a lot more but his size and weight let him keep coming foward unbelievable nonetheless Respect to both warriors 🇨🇺 🇺🇸
errol spence gets up to 190 when hes not in camp and makes 147 !
He was 1 pound less in the ring so that’s cap
whats crazy is nobody ever said this about wilder fighting Fury
@@fmgmackthat was saturday morning after rehydration clauses but he gained another 15 pounds since then for saturday night that's why he moved to 160
Everytime I watch Hurd I can’t get over how bad he is from the outside it’s mind blowing and I like Hurd
That venue is pathetic. How many in attendance 2/3k? UK sell out in front of 50k
Yup 😂 it’s sad....boxing is not as mainstream here as other sports. But boxing has itself to blame for this too.
He should moved around like when he fought Canelo..Hurd has slow feet
Great Fight!🔥
no amigo para peleas las que daba Juan Manuel Márquez...esas si eran peleas peleas no aptas para cardiacos. esas porqué Juan Manuel Márquez lo daba todo en el ring Juan Manuel Márquez llevaba la escuela . mexicana..con todo respeto
Correction: 2018 not 2017.
Great fight! I love the way Hurd comes on in the later rounds of all his fights.
Yes, but one day he will be a punch drunk.
Yes, Prome. I think u r right. But t 2nd fight is more of a reunion of the champs rather than a real contest of strenght n talent. Hurd wuld not last 2 rounds vs Hearn if they encountered in t same generation. What do u think?
The commentor was right when he said 6'1 180.
🤣🤣🤣 thats what I thought he probably walks around 190+ easy and I dont believe he weighed 163 on the night. He looks 170+
Very exciting fight. Lara is resilient, but he got hurt by Hurd. 👍👍👍
Miss those kinda fights 😏
I am surprised the Lara faithful aren't on here saying they thought he won this one too. I understand why Hurd decided to change up his style after this fight but in my opinion, this style suits him better than what he is trying to do now. Looking out for his longevity and health after boxing I would recommend a change in style too. This style is fan-pleasing but it has a lot of wear and tear on the body. Everybody on here saying they are wondering why Lara stopped moving after the 5th weren't paying attention to all the punches landing on his mid-section. That is the only thing I wished Canelo did to Lara that Hurd was able to do. Take away the mid-section in the early rounds to take away the legs in the later rounds.
you said it, the lara faithfuls didn't have too.
Well Hurd looked to be two weight classes in size over Lara, at least. The argument begins & ends there. Had Lara been at 180lbs, Hurd could've been laid out.
9th round Hurd start spamming right uppercuts lol 😂
Big mistake Lara did was not get on his bike, he insisted try to fight inside . That's a big nono for a technical bóxer! Good job by Hurd 😎👍👍🥊
In a close fight the American wins every time, what a shocker
rigged bro. Just like lara vs canelo. All politics.
Or maybe americans r better hmmm hmmmm!!
@@OffBrisk Lara won that Canelo fight imo, he deserves more recognition
@@mussolini1900 bro Lara did not win against Canelo 💀 you need to go watch it again...running doesn’t give you wins
Salute to Hurd! PG COUNTY ALL DAY!!! 💪🏿⚡️
He my homeboy too. MD anyways
🔥
i think hurd should step up in weight, but being able to go toe to toe with the great Erislandy Lara shows true heart and determination from hurd. what a fight. both guys are warriors
Hurd showed heart and determination by going toe to toe with someone who literally looks half his size? What the hell is up with ur logic lol there is no heart and determination in slugging with a SMALLER MAN, lol I think u meant the other way around ...
@@raghurajaram8817 i see what you're doing. you underestimate Lara's strategy. Lara was the smaller man so he had no choice but to make it a slug fest. besides Lara's technical skill is superior but hurds toughness and size gave him a slug fest advantage.
Hurd is like a smw. 168 fighter man. 2 weight classes above this weight.
Damn I thought Lara was more of a dancer and avoided punches why was he standing in the pocket with a bigger man?
I think he figured his legs might give out if he runs all night plus Hurd is pretty athletic and wasn’t respectful of Lara power like Canelo was...Lara was I think 34 here
Lmao why is the dude behind Hurd chewing like that
que pelea con peso taaaaan desigual ¡
Lara had no other choice but to stand and trade. Hurd was stalking him.
Shut up. He willingly stood and fought because he didnt respect Hurd's skills
Un gigante va Lara
Si no es por la caída en el último round.
I would like to see the rematch at a lower weight. I have a feeling it would be more exciting. Also what’s up with Lara ? Did he change style ?? I do remember Rigo change his style to please the fans. I hope Lara didn’t
Hurd won the fight nly because he drop lara in the last round I am not impressed with his ability he just too big for that división but he doesn't box all he does is push the fighter and play inside using his weight that is not box I like to see him with someone bigger to see what up even his score card were up front but ,but at last he did win the but what happen with canelo that was fuck up
Así to paso trabajo pa ganar la yegua grande esta
Así cualquiera gana, Lara demasiado duro, pero te la pusieron muy dura, ese man estaba demasiado grande 😠
Muy cierto
Ese es el spence de Las 154
Hurd Beating Lara trumps any win on Charlo's resume. Despite his one loss Hurd is still a threat.
How I scored it.... 1: 10-9 2: 10-9 3: 9-10 4: 9-10 5: 10-9 6: 10-10 7: 10-9 8: 9-10 9: 9-10 10: 10-9 11: 10-9 12: 8-10 114-114 Draw
2: 9-10 and 6: 9-10
Hurd had a way of tiring his opponents out.
Lara should’ve stuck to what he does best and box instead fighting with Hurd He would’ve done a lot better and could have even stopped Hurd
You mean run like the Alvarez fight?
Man Hurd is a big guy in there
Spence should have tapped shields as a trainer and then spar with lara
jarrett hurd should be in the super middleweight and light heavyweight division , he's cherry picking in the middleweight division. Hes got a beautiful boxing game and analysis everything really well
Damn commentators still kissing Lara’s ass after he lost. They should be fired
el nokao le llevo la pelea .iva muy bien.
Lara is the real champion… I love you Cuban guy..
This was in 2018
Jarret vs fury next cuz boy is a heavyweight
mayweather so hype! floyd knows whats up
wow what a fight, the knockdown was the difference but i understand why hurd dint want the rematch, lara punches were a lot cleaner
This was 2018
Rematch pls
This was super close I think Lara chose to bang with Hurd when he typically is on his toes. That knockdown was the difference
Hurd says : let's call it a trade of punches. You throw yr punches, i eat them. But can you eat mine?
Lara nesesitta tirar mas golpes
Lara is runner boxer
Lara pelea con los mejores, mis respetos para el , no como canelo q solo con el está seguro q ganará Jajaja, saludos a Lara y eres tú si eres un chingon
Great fighters .. they should have been paid more for this fight ...it's alot if great fighters haven't been paid for their own credit to boxing
Grey fith but the cuban doing better to the last rown
Lara and Wright. Period.
Porque no corrió como contra el canelo
This was my first hurd fight i watched and the whole time I was thinking like damn this boy a monster he a tank he dont stop coming
Hurd looked like a light heavyweight in there... DAMN!
That's because Hurd is a weight bully that rehydrates up 170+ on fight night.
Fight of the year!!!
Got that unanimous for hurd
LARA DIDN'T BOX HURD ......LARA NEVER USED HIS LEGS.
He couldn’t use his legs Hurd cut the ring off
@@kareenlearmond4407 noo ... Lara is just old thats why !! A prime Lara would school Hurd.
Kebanyakan nunggu si larra
A .q pelia mas mala son un bulto lis dos
This fight was in april 7th 2018 lol
Watching this now. The end of the 5th and hurd already bagged 4.
Munguia wuld b another victim if he were brave enough to face Hurd. Any body in super welter shuld just stay low as long as Hurd stays in this division.
This didnt age well
Hurd vs Munguia will be a good fight. They will eat all punches all night long🤣
Fact: The judges and referee of this bout are the same as of Pacquiao vs Mayweather in 2015
Cualquiera aunque no sepa de boxeo puede ver las 50 o 60 lb q tiene de mas este hurt asi y todo lara le hizo tremenda pelea
Dude he weighed 8 fucking pounds more than Lara the night of the fight. Shut up.
