"We are in talks with Jacobs' team. We have a very good understanding with Al Haymon and I think we are going to finalize the deal without a purse bid," Oleg Hermann Apparently it will be on HBO in december Probably a week away of Canelito's december fight.
I hope so. It will be the first time GGG faced and actual 160 fighter with championship experience. Win or Lose for either guy it's a good fight.
I would like it to be in NYC so its closer to my hometown, but I think Canelo is fighting in NYC in december. So probably this fight takes place in LA
Define Championship experience. Lemieux was a world champion. Geale held a more legit world title than Jacobs ever did. Macklin and Murray gave both Sturm and Martinez tough fights in world title bouts and was unlucky not to win one. Rubio had a couple of world title fights. Although I suppose it's a mute point because after Golovkin deals with Jacobs he'll just be another bum according you.
Jacobs is no bum. Those other euro level bums you mentioned are. Never heard of them before the Can Killer and you don't hear any news about them afterwards either. The reason is because they are non factors. Their names may ring bells on that tiny island you occupy but in the land of the free with a population of 360 million, their names are bum #29,#30,#31,#32
He probably won't be fighting in december at all because of his injury. And if he does I doubt it'll be in NYC. But we'll see.
Thast what ODLH said. That they want to showcase Canelo's december fight in NYC. We will see what happens with his injury. Cant wait to see Canelo back in the ring, I dont care against who.
Not mad at this fight. Best to get it out of the way ASAP, but better not be PPV. Jacobs has good offense, but you don't get dropped by Mora and gain my vote of confidence against GGG.
NYC...Sounds like an East Coast Puerto Rican fighter gets the call. -Danny Garcia? Gabe Rosado? Or a NY fighter? -Jacobs? Quillin? Or...Willie frickin' Monroe Jr. of Rochester NY. Godammit.
I dont mind to see Willie Monroe vs Canelo. Curious to see what Willie can do against Canelo. How many rds can he last.
