Toyota Arena, Ontario, California, USA. In the co-main event of the show, former unified world champion American Jarrett Hurd (24-3, 16 KOs) resumed his career. In the middleweight limit (up to 72.6 kg), he flew ahead of schedule to the Mexican Jose Armando Resendis (14-1, 10 KOs).
Hurd started the fight passively. He gave the initiative to the underdog, backed up, tried to defend himself with shoulder rolls. In the 2nd round, the fighters staged a mahach at close range. Resendis took his due due to combinational work, speed, angles, performance and maneuverability. And Hurd answered him with power.

At times, both were dirty: Resendis butted his head, Hurd struck below the belt. The fight became more and more uncompromising. It was very difficult for the American to keep up such a pace, but he intercepted the attacks of the aggressor well. The Mexican landed more often, but Heard’s punches were much heavier.

Round 7 was just incredible. Hurd tried to work as the first number, pressed Resendis well, did a great job on the body, but shortly before the gong he was shocked and cycled a little. The ex-champion picked up even more in the next three minutes. He clearly has less strength left.

Hurd stepped up in the 9th three-minute period. He went all out and leveled the course of the battle. But it is possible that the Mexican is ahead on the cards of the judges. Great fight.
Wow! Heard was not released for the 10th round. The doctor decided that the American had had enough. A controversial decision, but the American did not protest very much.
Resendis TKO 10. There is an apset!
