All the details for Jarrett Hurd vs Julian ‘J-Rock’ Williams
Jarrett Hurd is the tall, rangy, powerful Super WBA and IBF super-welterweight champion from Maryland. He holds wins over the likes of Erislandy Lara and Austin Trout. Julian Williams, or ‘J-Rock’ if you prefer, comes from Philadelphia and has won four straight since a five-round defeat to Jermall Charlo, in which he was dropped three times. Given Charlo remains unbeaten and is now up at middleweight suggests little shame in that setback.
