Frank Galarza

Undefeated Jarrett “Swift” Hurd (17-0) was the distinct underdog when he fought fearsome Frank Galarza (17-1-2) in Las Vegas on November 14, 2015

But Swift used a variety of punches to confuse Galarza including well-placed lead rights and sharp counters. An uppercut floored Galarza in the fourth and from that point on, it was only a matter of when and not if. Hurd swiftly t picked up the tempo and then in the sixth stanza ended matters by drilling a right into Galarza’s head putting him on Queer Street. Frank turned his back to Hurd and Referee Russell Mora stepped in with a merciful stoppage.

Oscar Molina

Molina is a great fighter. This is definitely a big win for my career. He was taking a lot of shots, but he knew how to survive…It was a big uppercut that knocked him down in round one. People know from my last fight that I have a great right uppercut.”—Jarrett Hurd

The Maryland native next met undefeated and heavy-handed Oscar Molina (13-0-1) at Barclay’s on June 25, 2016. Oscar was coming off a draw with slick and skilled Dominique Dolton

Hurd continued his winning ways against Molina as he decked Molina with a perfectly launched vicious counter right uppercut in Round one and then dictated matters with skillful in fighting and superb hand speed. Finally Swift hurt Molina in the 10th and after a volley of malicious punches; referee Ricky Gonzalez halted the action, albeit a bit prematurely. . Molina, a former Olympian falls to 13-1-1 with 10 KOs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG8NeuTScSY

The wins against Galarza and Molina introduce a rising star who fights with old-school skills, a high ring IQ, great combinations generated by superior hand aped, power, and athleticism. All of a sudden, he is starting to appear in the rankings. At this point, a fight with the likes of Vanes Martirosyan, Tony Harrison, Willie Nelson, John Jackson, or even Austin Trout might tell us what we t want to know.

At any rate and for what it is worth, Jarrett “Swift” Hurd is my breakthrough fighter so far in 2016 just like Terrence Crawford was the first time I saw him fight.
