Julian Williams: Date, Time, TV And Live Stream Info If there has been a recurring theme in unified junior middleweight champion Jarrett Hurd's meteoric rise toward consideration among the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport, it's that nothing has come easy. Hurd vs Williams: Jarrett Hurd vs. Julian Williams fight prediction, odds, undercard, start time, live stream, channel. Hurd vs Williams Fight Live 'Swift' is ready to put his 154-pound titles on the line in his backyard on Saturday night.

Jarrett Hurd vs. Julian Williams

Jarrett Hurd vs. Julian Williams is an intriguing match-up for Hurd´s WBA Super and IBF super welterweight titles. For Julian Williams, this is his 2nd attempt at becoming Champion of the World and collecting 2 belts at the same time. Hurd has been giving good performances for a few years with his best win coming over Erislandy Lara last year. He has shown that he has a great engine for 12 rounds and that he comes on in the second half of his fights. Hurd is very big and strong for the weight but he has technical flaws that has been apparent in several of his fights where he gets hit cleanly with big shots over and over. To his credit, his chin have held up the punishment so far. In his last fight with Jason wellborn (a 17/1 underdog) he was being worked over good on the inside and the fight was fought on even terms for 4 rounds before Hurd landed the knock-out blow. Julian Williams is being overlooked a little bit in this fight by many fans but not many insiders. They know how dangerous Williams is. Current betting line is Hurd -600 and Williams +450. The reason they have installed Hurd such a big favourite are mainly 2 reasons. The first one is that he is a unified World Champion and he has proven that he can beat high level fighters such as Lara, Trout, Harrison. The second reason is that when Williams got his first shot at the title vs. Charlo in 2016 he was stopped in 5 rounds. The reality of it is that he was doing very good with Jermall Charlo and won his share of the rounds. He was landing hard right hands over and over but Charlo ultimately was the better fighter that night. Williams proved that night that he had very good boxing skills and showed incredible toughness and heart. After the loss Williams has composed himself and worked his way back with several good victories. We believe Julian Williams is ready and prepared this time and there will be a new World Champion. He will find his home with that straight right hand with Hurd and he will dominate this fight. Unlike many other Hurd opponents, Williams has power and we can see a stoppage coming late between 10-12 or a decision win for Julian Williams. The Pick is Julian Williams to win.

On Saturday, May 11^th, Premiere Boxing Champions presents their latest FOX boxing broadcast live from the EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia. The main event of the night is a world championship fight as Jarrett Hurd defends his IBF and WBA Super Welterweight titles against Julian Williams. Hurd looks to remain undefeated in his career against top contender Williams.

The co-main event of the night will showcase the talents of Mario Barrios, an undefeated super lightweight contender. He will take on Juan Jose Velasco in a 10-round fight. Also on the card is middleweight challenger Matt Korobov battling Immanuwel Aleem in a 10 round contest of Top 15 middleweight contenders. All three of these fights will be televised on FOX beginning at 8 PM ET.

In total, there are at least 10 fights scheduled for this event. However, boxing betting sites are limited in how many fights have betting odds. Let’s take a closer look at these matchups, the available betting lines, and KO our picks.

It's FIGHT WEEK‼️

A pair of 154-pound World Titles are on the line this Saturday night when unified Super Welterweight Champ @Swift_JHurd battles top contender @Jrockboxing on @PBConFOX.#HurdWilliams ℹ️: https://t.co/HX9LWQgRw5pic.twitter.com/dtF4kyQcHi

— PBC (@premierboxing) May 6, 2019

Matvey Korobov (28-2, 14 KOs) vs Immanuwel Aleem (28-1-1, 22 KOs)

• Immanuwel Aleem (+175)
• Matvey Korobov (-245)

Korobov is a betting favorite once again, after being a large underdog to Jermall Charlo last December. Prior to that fight, Korobov was a massive favorite in three previous bouts against glorified sparring partners. Now, Korobov is a smaller betting favorite over his opponent. Immanuwel Aleem is a small underdog after being a favorite in his last two fights. Aleem may be a handful for Korobov this weekend. He may also be worthy of a flier for the risk takers out there.

Korobov vs Aleem Preview

Immanuwel Aleem has gone 2-1-1 in his last four fights, after starting 16-0. He suffered his first defeat in August 2017 as he lost via KO in the third round to Hugo Centeno Jr. He fought nine months later and defeated Juan De Angel last May. Aleem hasn’t been very active since his only career loss. Not only is he giving up a slight height and reach advantage, but he’s fighting an opponent with a lot more experience as well.

Korobov is a bit of a mystery. He has dominated the lesser quality opponents, but ran into some trouble against Andy Lee in 2014 when he lost via TKO for the WBO middleweight title. After that, Korobov didn’t fight in 2015. He then went on to win three fights in 2016 and didn’t fight in 2017. Korobov’s absence in 2017 wasn’t for a lack of trying to get an opponent:

“We tried to get fights. We agreed to fight WBO world super middleweight champion Gilberto Ramirez. Then they decided to go with another opponent. We were supposed to fight David Benavidez on July 28, on the same card as Mikey Garcia vs. Robert Easter Jr. Benavidez had the WBC 168lb. title then. That was when Top Rank Promotions interfered with his contract situation and the fight was canceled. So, we tried to make fights.”

He returned in 2018 to beat up a club fighter before getting a title shot against Jermall Charlo. Matvey was a last minute replacement and had a week to prepare for Charlo. Although he would end up losing, Korobov made a believer out of fans and critics. It also seemed that the judges were watching a different fight when they awarded Charlo with a UD. One judge had it 119-108 when the other two judges had it 116-112. Korobov believed he won that fight. Regardless, it resurrected his career from the club scene to the spotlight once again.

Can Korobov Chase Down Another Title Shot?

At 36 years old, Korobov doesn’t have a lot of time left to become a world champ. He will need to push for a third world title shot by next year at the latest. There’s a good chance that he can argue for a rematch against Charlo and chase him down. Right now, Matvey is ranked 14^th in the WBC and WBA middleweight rankings. The current WBC interim champ is Charlo. Aleem is ranked 15^th in the WBC middleweight rankings.

So, a solid win over a Top 15 ranked opponent would be big for Korobov. It could put him in line for another Top 10 WBC title fight and eventually get him back up toward the top and a shot at Charlo’s interim title. A lot of this will depend on what Canelo Alvarez and Triple G do in their upcoming fights. As for Korobov, he needs this win and I expect him to get it.

After his loss to Charlo, Korobov stated that having a full training camp to prepare for an opponent would make a huge difference. We will see that difference on Saturday. I’m taking Korobov to win this fight via UD unless he can score a late TKO.

Mario Barrios (23-0, 15 KOs) vs Juan Jose Velasco (20-1, 12 KOs)

• Juan Jose Velasco (+600)
• Mario Barrios (-1200)

Barrios is a large betting favorite against the older Velasco. It’s the ninth straight time that Barrios is the betting favorite in his fights. Mario is one of the top prospects in any weight class, but these odds don’t offer any value. Velasco has been an underdog in the last two fights and I don’t see the Argentinian pulling off the upset this weekend. He’s not worth a flier.

Barrios vs Velasco Preview

Juan Jose Velasco is looking to bounce back after the first loss of his career. He suffered a defeat at the hands of Regis Prograis last July. Velasco lost via TKO in the eighth round. Prograis just won the WBA super lightweight title, so this loss to Regis isn’t a black mark on Juan’s career. However, he’s now going up against another solid fighter in Barrios.

Saturday’s fight marks the third time that JJV has fought in the United States. The majority of his contests have been in his home country of Argentina. He’s 1-1 in his two USA fights. Unfortunately, his chances of winning this fight appear very slim despite the odds listed at online betting sites.

2019 should be the year that Barrios fights for a world title. He’s too good not to compete for a belt. A convincing win over Velasco will solidify his chances at a world title according to many fans and pundits. With that said, Barrios is being patient and not focusing too much on titles at the moment. 15 Rounds states that he’s more focused on Velasco:

“Velasco is a tough fighter from Argentina whose only loss is at the world class level against Regis Prograis. He will have to adjust to my style because I’m going to be dictating the action from the opening bell. My jab will be the key in this fight. I know I’ll have to let my hands go to be effective. This is going to be a tough fight, but I’m ready for the challenge.”

By all accounts, Barrios’ training camp has gone really well. Mario is in fantastic shape and has worked on some things to improve as a fighter. He plans on implementing these new tools in this upcoming fight.

Can Barrios Continue His Ascension?

Barrios should be the future of this weight class. I expect him to put on a strong showing against the tough Velasco. Mario has the height and reach advantages, along with youth and athleticism. I expect Barrios to outwork Velasco for 10 rounds and secure a Unanimous Decision victory. With this win, and the exposure from fighting on FOX, I believe Barrios will be fighting for a world title sooner than later.

Jarrett Hurd (23-0, 16 KOs) vs Julian Williams (26-1-1, 16 KOs)

• Julian Williams (+350)
• Jarrett Hurd (-600)

Hurd is the undefeated champion and a moderate betting favorite, considering how large boxing odds can get up to. This is the sixth time in his last seven fights that Hurd is the odds on favorite in a match. Only in his fight against Erislandy Lara over a year ago was Hurd an underdog. He would go on to win that fight via SD.

This is the second straight fight where Williams is a betting underdog and third time in his last six fights. If his odds were closer to +1000 then I would say he’s worth taking a flier. At these odds, and the fact that he’s fighting a better boxer, I don’t think he’s worthy of a flier. I also don’t believe that Hurd offers any betting value.

Hurd vs Williams Betting Preview

Julian Williams comes into this contest on a four-fight win streak. He last fought in December and KO’d Castro. Prior to that, he took a Majority Draw against Gallimore. Williams’ only professional defeat came against Jermall Charlo back in December 2016.

Prior to that, he had NC in 2013 and a Draw in 2011. At 29, Williams is just reaching the prime stage of his career and is viewed as a worthy adversary to Hurd. Julian is very confident and believes that he’s a Top 10 fighter in the 154-pound division. ESPN has him ranked seventh overall. The Ring magazine has him eighth overall. Williams’ assertions that he’s a Top 10 junior middleweight is pretty accurate. That’s also what makes this a bigger fight.

Julian knows that a win against Hurd will change his life for the better. He will be the champ and earn more money. Despite fighting in Hurd’s hometown, Williams isn’t worried about going into hostile territory:

“I think it’s a good opportunity. I didn’t really think too much about how difficult it would be to fight him in his hometown. I just need an arena and some gloves. Man, just ring the bell. I didn’t really think too deep into having to fight him in his hometown.”

Williams is more focused on defeating Hurd and winning the belts than where he’s fighting at. He tweaked his training camp to learn different things and prepare differently for Hurd. Will those differences help him win on Saturday?

For Hurd, he’s very excited to be training and defending the championship belts in his hometown.

“Training camp is going well. This is the first time I’ll be holding my full training camp here in my hometown. Usually I’m used to traveling. This is the first time I’ve fought at home since 2014 and I’m super excited. I can feel the fan base and how they support me already before the fight comes. So, to be able to get this opportunity to bring it back here is special”

In 2017 and 2018, Hurd went from a contender to a legitimate world champ as he defeated Tonya Harrison, Austin Trout, and Erislandy Lara. It solidified him as arguably the best in the division. Furthermore, if he can win this weekend, then Hurd will be in line for bigger fights that could unify the entire weight class. Hurd declared during training camp that he wants to be the undisputed champion.

In fact, it’s still his team’s goal to go after whichever fighter is holding the WBC title later this year. That will come down to Charlo and Harrison. Harrison defeated Charlo last December to win the WBC title. However, they have an immediate rematch this June. Hurd has already defeated Tony Harrison back in early 2017 when Jarrett won via TKO in the ninth round. The big money fight would’ve been Hurd vs Charlo as they both would’ve been undefeated.

With that said, Hurd is not looking past his opponent Williams. And he shouldn’t, because Julian is a legitimate challenger for his titles.

“We’re not looking past Julian Williams. All that could be stopped next weekend if I don’t get past him. The most dangerous I would say is his inside game. He has a great inside game. People maybe underestimate it a little bit. But he does great things inside with his hands and how he places his shots. He sneaks them in there. He does a lot of good work in the inside. He also works good on the outside but his inside work is the most dangerous.”

Can Hurd Remain Undefeated?

Williams is a tough draw for Hurd. However, I do believe Jarrett will win this fight. In my opinion, Hurd is clearly the better fight. He will also have the height and reach advantages for this bout. If he can prevent Williams from doing a lot of damage on the inside, then I think Hurd will cruise to a UD win. I don’t see Hurd knocking out Williams in this fight despite Julian having one KO loss on his career. I think Julian takes this the distance, but loses to a better fight.

Undercard Fights With Betting Odds

The following undercard fights have available betting odds courtesy of 5Dimes. These fights are expected to appear on FS1’s broadcast of PBC Fight Night beginning at 8 PM ET.

Stephen Fulton (15-0, 7 KOs) vs Paulus Ambunda (27-2, 11 KOs)

• Stephen Fulton (-180)
• Paulus Ambunda (+140)

In the main event of PBC Fight Night, undefeated contender Stephen Fulton gets the biggest fight of his career against former WBO champ and current IBO super bantamweight champ Paulus Ambunda. This is Fulton’s first chance at becoming a world champ and oddsmakers view this fight as being a close one.

Ambunda has won three straight fights after losing to Flores roughly three years ago. At 38 years old, I find it hard to believe that Ambunda has much time left in the sport as a champ. And that time could be up this weekend.

Fulton, age 24, last fought in January and won via TKO over Marlon Olea. Stephen is on the verge of becoming ranked in all of the major sanctioning bodies. A win this weekend over his opponent and capturing the IBO title will definitely open some eyes. As for his opponent, Fulton had this to say about Ambunda as reported by World Boxing News:

“I’ve watched tape, but you know, I only watched it one time. I don’t really get into that because that’s not going to be the same fight that he might fight me and vice versa. I look at some flaws and I look at his good fights and his bad fights. I love to watch the good ones because whatever he does that’s good, I’ve got to take that away from him. That’s why this fight will be a great fight because he fights back and he actually applies the pressure and wants to fight and wants to engage in the fight. This, right here will show my talent, it will show my stamina, it will show everything I have.”

I believe this is the perfect matchup for Fulton. He gets an aged fighter who carries a belt. Although the IBO isn’t anything to brag about, it’s another feather in Fulton’s cap and a great way to get recognized by the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF.

I’m taking Fulton to win this fight via UD. I think Ambunda is tough enough to take this contest the full distance. Fulton has never even fought into the 10^th round before, so it will be interesting to see how he performs late in the bout.

Demond Nicholson (21-3-1, 20 KOs) vs Ernest Amuzu (25-4, 22 KOs)

• Demond Nicholson (-7500)
• Ernest Amuzu (+2500)

Nicholson is a massive betting favorite for this fight and it’s a bit surprising that his odds are so high. However, you have to give Demond credit because he’s fought roughly 10 times in the last three years. He’s very active and doesn’t shy away from fights. Nicholson believes this will be a tough fight as he speaks highly of his opponent:

“My next opponent Ernest Amuzu is a very hard hitter. He has 25 wins and 22 KO’s. This is not an easy thing to do so this will be a good challenge for me. Other than his power, I see a vet in the ring. He’s learned to survive even though he was stopped in his last fight. In his whole career, there wasn’t one time when he was out on his feet.”

Amuzu has lost two of his last four fights and is stepping up in competition against Nicholson. With that said, he does have the power to hang in this fight. But can he take power shots from Nicholson? That’s the question.

Neither fighter offers betting value, but I do think Amuzu can be worth an extreme flier for those looking at gambling on a large underdog. Otherwise, the smart play is on Nicholson to win via UD.

Dravontay Rawls (11-1-1, 8 KOs) vs Jonathan Perez (38-23, 1NC, 30 KOs)

• Dravontay Rawls (-245)
• Jonathan Perez (+175)

This fight is a battle between the rising prospect Rawls and the veteran Perez. Dravontay last fought two months ago and easily defeated Dante Cox via TKO in the third round. He has eight KO/TKO wins in his career and is looking to get his ninth this weekend.

Jonathan Perez is only 32 years old, but he’s fought 62 times in his career. With that said, he’s nothing more than a warm body for Rawls to beat up on. In other words, he’s a heavy bag that hits back. Perez snapped a five-fight losing streak by winning in January. He’s 5-14 in his last 19 pro fights.

I don’t see an outcome where Perez wins this fight. He’s lost 15 fights via KO/TKO in his career and I can see Rawls picking up a TKO in this one. If that doesn’t happen then I see Rawls blazing his way to a UD win. Either way, Rawls will dominate this fight. At -245 odds, I do think that Rawls offers some betting value considering how bad his opponent is.

Alexandru Marin (17-0, 11 KOs) vs Luis Concepcion (37-7, 26 KOs)

• Alexandru Marin (-705)
• Luis Concepcion (+435)

Here we have another younger fighter taking on a veteran with over 40 fights just like with the Rawls vs Perez fight. However, Marin is a better prospect than Rawls and he’s still undefeated. The 27-year-old Romanian hasn’t fought since last September when he defeated Escalante via SD. It was a very close fight that had some fans and critics believing Escalante had won. Nevertheless, this super flyweight fight will be all about how well Marin looks in the ring after an eight-month layoff.

Concepcion last fought in September 2018 as well. Unfortunately, he lost via TKO to the undefeated prospect Andrew Moloney. Luis has lost three of his last five fights including his world title shot in December 2016. Concepcion fought Yafai for the vacant WBA world super flyweight title. Unfortunately, Luis came in overweight and became ineligible to win the title. He also went on to lose via UD.

Concepcion will show up to slug it out with Marin as he does with every opponent. With that said, I believe Marin will win this fight. I don’t see an upset here. Neither boxer offers any betting value.

Greg Outlaw (7-0, 1 NC, 2 KOs) vs Martin Matamala (11-7, 3 KOs)

• Greg Outlaw (-7500)
• Martin Matamala (+2500)

Hurd Vs Williams Odds Ncaa Basketball

Greg Outlaw comes in tied with Demond Nicholson as the biggest betting favorites on the fight card. Outlaw is undefeated in his young career, but is coming off a NC in March when his opponent hurt his leg during a fall.

Matamala is from Argentina and one year older than Outlaw. However, he has 10 more fights than his counterpart. With that said, Martin has as many losses (seven) as Outlaw has wins. Matamala has lost two straight fights and five of his last seven contests.

Hurd Vs Williams Odds Prediction

This bout is nothing more than a confidence booster for Outlaw and another chance at getting his eighth professional win. Matamala is not a good fighter and offers no value. He’s not worthy of a flier as he’s just a warm body for Outlaw to beat up on.

Final Thoughts on PBC’s Hurd vs Williams Event

For a free boxing event, I really like what the main portion of this card offers. First, the main event is going to be an exciting contest between two solid fighters. I do expect Hurd to win via UD, but it will be a close one for most of the bout. The 23-year-old Mario Barros is back in action. He’s an exciting prospect that’s on the cusp of championship gold. Also, I want to see how Korobov fares against Aleem in a battle of Top 15 middleweights.

Hurd Vs Williams Odds

On the FS1 portion of the event, I’m highly intrigued by the Fulton vs Ambunda fight. PBC is putting on a solid boxing card that should entertain both boxing fans and bettors alike.
