Jarrett Hurd – Jo Jo Dan Post Fight Comments

JARRETT HURD

“We knew he was a crafty southpaw. We wanted to take our time because we didn’t know how he would come out. We felt him out at first.

“We didn’t think he’d come in as much. I thought he’d try to move around. But he brought the fight a little closer than I expected.

“My defense was a little off because being prepared for a right hander. We fixed that in the last round and got the stoppage.

“He was wobbly and shaky. I probably would have taken him out in the next round.

“This does a lot for me. These fights I’m getting are bringing me closer to the belt. Hopefully this moves me up the rankings.

“There are a lot of great fighters in this division and whoever I can get in there with, I’ll be ready for.”

“The weight was a big difference. I took the fight on short notice but I’m a natural 147-pounder and I don’t struggle to make that.

“He’s a tough guy. I gave him some good shots and I took some good shots. At the end of the day this is boxing. I couldn’t do enough to get the win.”
