Former WBA and IBF junior middleweight champion Jarrett Hurd 23-1 (16 Ko’s) knows the pit falls of facing an underdog opponent this coming Saturday, returning from last Mays disastrous defeat at the hands of Julian Williams, whom himself fell foul of the same scenario last weekend..
Hurd faces Francisco Santana 25-7-1 (12 Ko’s) at The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, in a fight that will be televised live on Showtime..
“I’m so focused on Francisco Santana at the moment, I refuse to look past any opponent.. This is a fight where I get the chance to look at the progress I can make working with my new trainer Kay Koroma.. Santana comes to fight just like Jeison Rosario did for Julian.. I have to be on my toes and switched on.. “
Jarrett was on the cusp of unifying the 154 pound division last year, a feat that remains a part of Hurds future goals.. The Williams defeat appeared as if Jarrett simply took his eye off the ball, it’s purely down to the Marylander to make sure that lightning doesn’t strike twice..
Saturday’s card at the Barclays is promoted by TGB and Tom Brown Promotions and features Philadelphias very popular Danny Garcia as he takes on Ivan Redkach at welterweight.. Whilst a battle of undefeated Super Bantamweights sees Stephen Fulton of Philly take on Arnold Khegai, a Ukrainian import that has made Philadelphia his home..
