Hurd vs Resendiz HIGHLIGHTS: March 4, 2023 | PBC on Showtime

In a slugfest of a co-main event, power-punching Mexican Armando Reséndiz (14-1, 10 KOs) delivered a star-making performance, battering “Swift” Jarrett Hurd (24-3, 16 KOs) and spoiling the former unified 154-pound world champion’s comeback fight. The ringside physician stopped the contest five seconds into the tenth and final round due to a severe laceration on Hurd’s lip.

The determined Reséndiz outworked Hurd, landing 280 of his 780 punches thrown, the most connected punches of any Hurd opponent. In the spirited middleweight scrap, Hurd had his moments on the attack, connecting on 228 of his 562 (40 percent) punches thrown. However, Hurd, in his first fight in 21 months, was unable to overcome Reséndiz’s pressure and volume punching. Reséndiz landed 206 power punches, eventually opening up a deep cut on Hurd’s lip that caused the fight to end. At the time of the stoppage, Reséndiz was ahead on all three judges’ scorecards.

“I was visualizing this fight for so long, how I was going to win this fight,” Reséndiz said in the ring through SHOWTIME interpreter Felix DeJesus. “It was all about heart, but I know I can be even better and you’ll see what I mean in my next fight. I told everyone I was willing to go to war, I’m Mexican, after all. It was a strong, physical fight just like we expected. The results speak for themselves.”

Hurd tried working his jab early, landing a total of 27 jabs in rounds three and four, but fighting for just the third time in over three years, Hurd faded as the rounds went on. In rounds six through nine, Reséndiz landed 106 power punches while limiting Hurd to 69 landed power punches.

“I knew this was going to be a tough, toe-to-to fight based on our styles,” said the 32-year-old Hurd, who lost inside the distance for the first time in his career. “But I only had to make it one more round. I wish I could have finished it, but my lip was cut too bad. So, congratulations to Reséndiz. I definitely wish I could have continued. At no point was I hurt at all in that fight, but I have to respect what the doctors say and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

It's concerning how many headshots Hurd takes in fights, his defence is severely lacking.

[davidmartin]

That has to be the most action packed 2:30 minutes on YouTube!! What a fight!!!!

[ecw]

This man had a good run at 154. Beat Harrison, Lara, Trout. He was an over achiever no doubt.

[johnangelbautistaguitar]

Man, Armando resendiz the Real Deal.

[Duel]

The difference was Resendiz was
1. Keeping his hands high and tight, not in a weak shoulder roll alteration .
2. Using angles and stepping around the weak side of Hurd.
If Jarrett had a different coach who had incorporated some lateral footwork and a more disciplined high guard, he could have won this fight.

[miyagifatghost]

Hurd literally risks his life to give us the style of fights he does. Win or Lose I'm a Fan

[MangaSword]

I never understood why Hurd insisted on using this fight style. Yes, he’s found success with it but I’m surprised he hasn’t tried to mix in some long range strategies (especially given his height and wingspan) ah well.

[Titus-xcpi]

Jarrett Hurd with the Homer Simpson defense

Why utilize head movement or try to slip punches? Just block your opponent's best punches with your head!

[joeyjuandiaz]

Toro beat hurd and now plant hes elite now 🔥🔥🔥🇲🇽

[mateopotato]

These dudes are crazy. No defense. Basically like let’s just beat each other up until someone falls first.

[BrownBomber]

The biggest reason why Hurd had any success at 154, was because he took fully advantage of weighing in nearly 40 hours before the event and because of that was able to fight at a weight class he had no business being at. He is a super middleweight who was fighting at jr middleweight, and he was massive at the weight! That allowed him to absorb punishment and not get hurt and then land his bombs on the much smaller fighter. Thats why is defense is awful, before he never had to worry about his opponents punches.

[randyridley]

Hurd blocks every punch with his face 😮 What does he work on when he's training 🤔 It's damn sure not defense 😂

[leestamm]

Both guys took way too many open head shots, Hurd in particular. Very little defense. They look like the old Rockem Sockem Robots. A good way to end up punch drunk with scrambled brains.
