Broner/ Figueroa, Stevenson/ Jack, Lara/ Hurd etc

The Hurd-Lara fight and Jack-Stevenson fight interest me most. Hurd is a very big man for that weight, and he fights like it. That may play into Lara's hands though, and he may walk into counters all night and end up stopped from accumulation of punishment. That being said, Hurd brings great pressure and may be able to break Lara mentally if he isn't prepared for that grueling of a fight.

I can't stand Stevenson, but the guy is athletic, punches from unexpected/awkward angles, is accurate with the left, and has legitimate one punch power. Jack is solid and can crack a little as well, and possesses better fundamentals than Adonis, who started boxing later in life. As much as I hate to admit it, I have a feeling Stevenson wins this one. Hope I'm wrong.

Badou Jack takes souls.

It's time for a new champion.

Jack will win and eventually next year we will see a Kovalev fight for the top dog.

On top of Broner getting arrested in Atlanta, news that Figueroa got arrested for drunk driving in the Palm Springs/Indio area. He went back to training in Indio because he was hitting the bars in McAllen prior to the Demarco fight.

Does Figueroa have a drinking problem?

Might explain the bloat. I swear, two guys struggling just to break through to the elite level and both self sabotage and risk cancellation. No pity for multi time mental midget Broner who makes a habit of scoring his biggest beatings on people who cannot fight from what it sounds like. His 15 minutes should have evaporated already.
