"hurt" is synonymous with "pain".
btw, i just went ahead and proved a negative for you. so now go ahead and prove your own stance by showing definitive proof that dd feels pain before that. 👆
Hurt in that context is synonymous with injury. Every punch a boxer receives is painful yet a boxer is not considered hurt until he is dazed.
That's a positive you were attempting to prove and you failed to do so. On the other hand:
"Like weary boxers who have gone the distance".
