Kell Brook vs Jarrett Hurd fight looking like a possibility

[JDM00]

Brook vs Hurd looking likely after Brooks fight in July. I think it’s a great fight for both as it obviously gives Brook the chance to become two weight world champion and can open doors to other huge fights (spence rematch at 154, Charlo). Hurd also has the chance to but on a great show for new fans from the UK. I personally think Brook wins the fight comfortably and will KO Hurd, Brook is levels above Hurd, too skilled. Who do you man rate wins?

broo doesnt need any more of these big strong physical guys who will wear hm down

more busted eyes i predict

[DrDuke]

I guess, a lot thought about Lara being too skilled for Hurd. And Hurd actually isn't some muff. Plus he's bigger and stronger. It can be another jumping under the freight train for Brook.

[SenorPipino]

Hurd big and physical.

Brook doesn't need big and physical. He's a bit delicate. At least around the eyes.

Doesn't seem likely anyways.

How much would Brook be paid? Forget about a title.

I would think that his purse for a Khan fight would dwarf whatever he earns against Hurd.

That's a highly anticipated natural showdown in the UK. Hurd not so much.

A Khan fight is very winnable for Brook and promises a huge payday.

The Hurd fight is a disaster in the offing for less money.

I'd bet he bypasses Swift in an instant.

If he takes this....he has fought the monster of the ww division (spence), the monster of the mw division (golovkin) and the monster of the smw division (Hurd). He should be applauded but also have his head checked as he has a death wish/ is a masochist.

[Lackeos]

I would prefer to see him get a good win first. If he's going to keep catching losses, he can't ride his one win over Porter forever. He could probably get paid well in a fight with Amir Khan, Liam Smith, or Sam Eggington; and that is about the minimum caliber of win that I would want him to get before he fights another world class (or better) opponent like Hurd. At this point in Brook's career, I don't think anyone would give him very decent odds against Hurd.

[SFW]

Brook holds inside that's his main move he doesn't work inside never really has, and never learned how to avoid body shots. He's simply not as complete a fighter as people always wanted to sell him as. Hurd will start slow, get to pressing, and beat KB into submission only a slow start would make it seem competitive. And it's a short night if that fragile face gets compromised again, the "going blind" warnings Brook has been getting for couple years now will be a factor when he's put back in that same dire situation. Kahn should be an overwhelming preference over Hurd, but 147lbs may be unreachable for KB now. He looked like he finally found all those missing chocolate brownies last time I saw him.

Lol pretty much. I’m all for fighters challenging themselves but this is too much. He shouldn’t take this fight. If he really does want it.....build up to it.

I think Kell is just too easy going. A giant sww like Hurd would be a great fight but it could also be his last fight. If he must keep busy then
there's far better options out there than Jarrett Hurd.

Best to be patient Kell, keep going after Khan. Amir is also looking for a big fight and will sooner or later realise that this one is destined to happen. Mayweather is not coming back.

brook could fight hurd and hed still get a strange amount of hate

Agree. And yes let’s hope a realisation is sooner or later in regards to Khan and his mayweather delusions...lol.

Why the heck would Brook take this fight over the one that has been brewing for years with Khan. Both guys get the most money by fighting each other so why step in the ring with a monster like Hurd? Brook will win some early rounds but it's just a matter of time before Hurd turns Brook into a heavy bag.

Hearn would like Brook and Khan both to win world title, which would make their potential catchweight fight bigger.

Hearn will be waiting a long, long time for both of those guys to capture world titles.

It's better to promptly make the match for this year before either Brook or Khan are beaten and the matchup loses any luster.

[boxing_rocks]

Brook must be crazy. He should now only fight light hitting guys. Hurd can finish what was started by GGG and Spence retiring Brook.

[ElJefe]

I rate Brook but surely Hurd is all wrong for him at this stage.

And there's people on here calling him a ducker

Big fan of Hurd. I think he'll grind down Brook.

[gilgamesh]

Bad news for Brook.

Brook will probably do well in the early going, and possibly win the first 4 or 5 rounds because he IS a superior boxer to Jarrett Hurd, but Hurd is gonna bust him up and break him down over the long haul, and probably stop him late.

That's how Hurd do.

That's how I see it. Brook's poor stamina is a very bad fit for a fight with Hurd.

[NateJR]

Brook ruined his boxing career by moving up to MW and facing GGG. He was a top tier WW and basically pissed his career away and has become damaged goods after the beatings he took from GGG and Spence. A fight with Hurd right now would be insanity and I would hope his promoter and advisor wouldn't allow it. I don't know what Brook would be trying to prove taking on the monster Hurd at this point.

As mention, the only fight that really makes sense for Brook is a fight against Khan or a easy fight at JMW assuming he can't make WW anymore.

[KiwiRider]

Brook must be crazy. He should now only fight light hitting guys. Hurd can finish what was started by GGG and Spence retiring Brook.

That may well be so.
I think he wants another title. He is in sort of limbo, if someone gives him a chance at a belt, he will probably take it. It would add value to his future fights, and would definitely tempt Khan, who is also in career limbo. A fight between the two with a title on the line makes it much bigger outside the UK.

[Mexi-Box]

I'm reading it's Rosado, not Hurd.

[jamamb]

rosado is exactly the type id expect, they wont match him with another monster with khan now being with mr and that fight being doable

[SenorPipino]

Rosado, a rugged journeyman, is quite a few steps down from Hurd.

Not surprising. I really don't think any talk of matching Brook with Hurd is serious.

A win over Rosado and then a late fall matchup with Khan, probably at a catchweight.

[Mexi-Box]

Surprised to see people vested in Brook. I'd be surprised if he ever becomes a legitimate title holder again. Khan is probably the only fight for him, and if he wants to continue, being fed to Hurd or Munguia is probably what'll happen.
