Jarrett Hurd (born August 31, 1990) is an American light middleweight boxer from Accokeek, Maryland.[1]
Amateur career
Hurd was raised in the suburbs of Accokeek, Maryland and graduated from Gwynn Park High School. He wasn't a stand-out amateur, only compiling a 32-8 record in 40 amateur fights.[2]
Professional career
Early career
Despite Hurd's lack of accolades as an amateur, Ross Molovinsky, head of Washington metropolitan area promotional outfit Keystone Boxing, tapped him as a potential prospect.[3] Hurd made his pro debut on September 2012. After winning his first 16 fights, Hurd made his TV debut on ShoBox against fellow unbeaten prospect Frank Galarza. Hurd outclassed Galarza, who was unable to cope with Hurd's jab and movement. After six lopsided rounds, the referee stopped the fight, giving Hurd a TKO win.[4]
On 25 June 2016, Hurd defeated Óscar Molina with a round 10 TKO. Hurd dropped Molina in the first round with an uppercut. The last round stoppage was considered premature by some media members.[5] Hurd was scheduled to fight Jorge Cota on November, but Cota dropped out after undergoing an appendectomy and was replaced by Jo Jo Dan. Hurd won the fight with a round 6 TKO, overwhelming Dan with crisp combinations.[6] After the fight, Dan said "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."[7]
IBF light middleweight champion
On February 25, 2017, Hurd defeated Tony Harrison to win the IBF light middleweight world title.[8] The fight was originally supposed to be a title eliminator for the right to fight Jermall Charlo, but when Charlo vacated the title, the fight was elevated to be for the vacant title.[9] Hurd struggled at the start of the fight, being outboxed in the early rounds[10] However, as the fight went on, Harrison seemed to struggle coping with Hurd's power. Harrison was knocked down by a right hook, he got up but was unable to continue. After the fight, Hurd said "We wanted to take our time with him because Harrison can box and move, but every time he fights, he wears down toward the end."[11]
On 31 May 2017 The Ring TV announced a deal was in place for Hurd to face former world champion Austin Trout on his first defense. The fight was scheduled for July 29 on the undercard of Mikey Garcia vs. Adrien Broner in New York.[12] On July 20, Boxing Scene reported the fight was being lined up to take place on 30 September 2017 as part of a light middleweight double header alongside Jermell Charlo's WBC title defence against Erickson Lubin. Because Hurd was granted an exception from the IBF to make a voluntary defence the winner must fight mandatory challenger Cedric Vitu next.[13] On August 24, it was announced that the fight would take place as part of a super welerweight triple-header at the Barclays Center on 14 October 2017.[14]
