Why is Jacobs fighting Jr?? I would rather see him try and get a fight with Charlo Saunders or someone else.
I'm tired of these name guys fighting bums. I know it's a new weight class, but you are a big dude as it is. Fight a top 10 guy.
**** it, canelo could, so can he. Now all that’s left for Jacobs is to despatch Jr in 5 or less for shits and giggles. Ultimate trolling would be to fight Fielding too. (And do better)
coming off a loss and moving to a new weight division and he will get good amount of cash for this fight. will give him a pass but he better fight someone good after this.
Eh... Im ok with this. Jacobs last 5 opponents combined record is 143-1 He's coming off a loss, hes not a reigning champion... hes fought Golovkin, Derev and Canelo in a short span... so Im absolutely cool with him having a showcase fight against a well known fighter. Actually Im happy for him... will be a nice payday and will get some decent publicity. After this, get back to targeting the top of the division.
You raise a very good point. I agree. This is a good payday for the guy. Plus, he will get more exposure to casual boxing fans due to this fight.
