Though Arias had a few advantages of being a natural middleweight, he had to drain himself in the ring. The bloodied pugilists seemed weary and were seemingly running fumes, but that didn’t deter them.

While Jarrett Hurd could have unveiled a much better performance, a lot has to be credited to Luis Arias. Following a loss to Luke Keeler in 2019, he badly needed a win. As he achieved the same against a name like Hurd, Arias seems to have a brighter road ahead in the journey.
