Sergiy Derevyanchenko 6-0 vs Jessie Nicklow 25-7-3 middles in co main. Card starts in about one hr.

Insane eh. It makes no sense.

Man that Hurd is a diamond in the rough

I finally saw this card on a replay. Hurd is very good, but fights along the ropes too much, and loves the pocket too much, even thought he does great work in both places. Why give them a chance when you don't have to?
I've looked around a little, trying to find out why Stiverne v Rossy was not televised and found nothing. Have you seen anything about that?

I haven't heard anything of Hurd prior to that card but he's a pleasant surprise. Just came out of no where. Wouldn't put him in the future star or top tier prospect just yet but definitely one to watch!

Hurd looked sharp counter punching, Looks like he is emulating Mayweather's style at times. TBH Galarza was kind of made to order, pressing the action and leaving himself wide open for those counters.
