Showtime Boxing had a tripleheader of 154-pound title fights on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The night began with an action-packed war between Jarrett Hurd (21-0, 15 KOs) and Austin Trout (30-4, 17 KOs), with Hurd successfully defending his IBF belt via 10th round TKO in one of the best fights of the year. Trout had a clear advantage over Hurd in the first-half of this contest, as he set an unusually fast pace that he ultimately could not sustain. Hurd took over in the later rounds, and upon advice of the ringside doctor, Trout was stopped in the corner due to the worsening condition of his eyes.
