Hurd vs Williams Betting Odds
Here are the betting odds from online sportsbook BetOnline.ag (full review here).
- Julian Williams +499
- Jarrett Hurd -664
My Pick
The 28-year-old Hurd won the vacant IBF title in February, 2017 when he stopped Tony Harrison in the ninth round and defended it for the first time against Austin Trout eight months later when Trout couldn’t come out for the 11th round. Hurd won the IBO and WBA crowns by beating Erislandy Lara by split decision in April, 2018 and then defended all the titles against Welborn. Hurd enters the bout with a perfect record of 23-0 with 16 Kos.
Hurd turned pro back in 2012 and has 114 rounds of experience since then. He’s a former three-time Golden Gloves winner in Washington D.C and has managed to beat opponents such as Lara, Harrison, Trout, Ionut Dan Ion, Oscar Molina, Frank Galarza and Eric Mitchell. What Hurd also has going for him right now is better-than-average power with a knockout ratio of 70 per cent. He stands 6-feet-1-inch tall with a reach of 76.5 inches.
Hurd is a relatively low key and underrated boxer who is quite fan friendly. His bout against Lara was one of the best of the year and he also managed to drop the former champion in the 12th round to insure the victory. He’s pretty tall for a junior middleweight and is just as comfortable at brawling as he is at boxing.
As for Williams, he’s 29 years old and owns a fine record of 26-1-1 with 16 Kos to his name. His lone loss was a fifth-round KO at the hands of former IBF World Champion Jermall Charlo in December of 2016 while his draw was a six-round affair with Francisco Santana in 2011. Williams also fought a no-contest with Hugo Centeno Jr. when the bout was halted in the fourth round due to an accidental head butt. He turned pro in 2010 and has 159 rounds of experience under his belt since then.
Williams stands 5-feet-11-inches tall with a reach of 72.5 inches which makes him about two inches shorter than Hurd with a four-inch reach disadvantage. He has decent power with a current knockout ratio of 55 per cent. There are a few other familiar names on Williams’ opponent list up to now other than Charlo and Centeno Jr. such as Ishe Smith, Joey Hernandez, Eliezer Gonzalez, Freddy Hernandez and Joachim Alcine.
Prediction…
Williams’ chin was somewhat exposed against Charlo and that won’t help him against a hard hitter like Hurd. The champion also has a solid chin and although he’s better at brawling than boxing he should be able to defend his crown against a determined Williams.

Jarrett Hurd betting • Julian Williams betting
By: Hans Themistode
At one point, a Jr middleweight showdown between former unified champion Jarrett Hurd and current three belt holder Jermell Charlo was the fight every fan was craving.
Roughly two years ago, both fighters were undefeated champions and regarded as the best in the division. Since then however, they have both suffered defeats. For Charlo, his came at the hands of Tony Harrison in December of 2018, although he did avenge that loss one year later. And for Hurd, his defeat came at the hands of Julian Williams in May of 2019.
Despite the speed bumps, Hurd (24-1, 16 KOs) still believes both he and Charlo are the best the 154-pound division has to offer and still desperately wants to prove that he was always better than his long-time rival.
“I really want the Charlo fight man,” said Hurd on the PBC podcast recently. “It’s still a lot of unanswered questions of who’s really the best at 154 until we face each other.”
Regardless of what he believes, Hurd knows good and well that another fighter could be prioritized before him. That would be, newly minted WBO champion Brian Castano. The Argentine native truncated the short title reign of Patrick Teixeira approximately one month ago and immediately called for an undisputed showdown with Charlo.
With the opportunity to grab every world title in the division, Charlo is most likely to go in that direction. But while Hurd is fully aware of the importance of an undisputed 154-pound champion, the Maryland native firmly believes that even a contest of that magnitude would fall short of the excitement a matchup between himself and Charlo would bring to the table.
“Even though Brian Castano has the title and it could be an undisputed champion at 154 but to be honest, the biggest fight at 154 is me vs Jermell Charlo. Hopefully, we can fight this year.”

In terms of what could possibly be next for Hurd if Charlo does elect to go down the undisputed route, the former unified champion has no idea. In fact, he isn’t even sure when he will make his return to the ring.
William Hurd Bio
Whenever he does get the call though, he’s hoping that the first name presented to him will be Julian Williams.
“I haven’t gotten any exact dates but I’ve been talking to Al (Haymon). He’s trying to put me on some cards and have me as the main event. He’s trying to put something together for me but he hasn’t been able to get an exact date but he’s been telling me to just stay ready. So that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. I’m just hoping that I get my rematch with Julian Williams.”
