And Truax who dethroned Degale. Jacobs is going to look good in a fight many are saying he will look less than spectacular in. Don't be surprised if Jacobs gets less credit for beating Sulecki than Charlo got for Centeno though.
Man if he just possesed power he would be a formidable top tier contender and probable champion material. Hes obviously a good fighter, but his lack of power will cost him against the top tiers. I liked what I saw tonight and look forward to seeing him fight in the future. Solid fighter.
Jacobs is a cruiserweight and he was fighting a jr. middleweight and it was still a very close fight! Jacobs could not hurt his Jr. Middleweight opponent, got a quick knockdown in the last round, but his Jr. Middleweight opponent came back and won the rest of the round. He was winning most of the fight, looked very good, Jacobs' power did not do him any good really, except for the flash knockdown........................I was surprised. It's time for Jacobs to fight the winner of Usyk/Gassiev...................
Like I said before, Sulecki has impressed me everytime I've seen him. I knew he had the skills, the heart and the grit to hang at the elite level but I wasn't sure how he would hold up against Jacobs' power and size (weight) advantage. Culcay seemed to hurt him a bit a couple of times in their fight, but even though the later isn't the biggest puncher, I was still impressed by Sulecki's punch resistance because Culcay was swinging hard and he caught him with a succession of flush shots one after the other that landed right on the chin or had cracked him with almost a dozen or so flush shots during a 20-25 second time period. 26:11 and 41:20 This content is protected
Good prediction I was expecting a Jacobs T/KO but he fought a great fight and I didn't score the fight but it was close for sure
For all the talk of Jacobs' size, Sulecki insisted during the lead up that he would outweigh Jacobs. He said he planned to weigh 180 pounds. So Jacobs haters... now you are Sulecki haters. Enjoy.
Sulecki was a jr. middle weight......................came up to middleweight.......................Jacobs is a cruiserweight, should fight the winner of Usyk/Gassiev next, or at least fight Kovalev. Golovkin would have knocked Jacobs out Sat. night..............so, don't complain about Golovkin fighting Vanes........................Jacobs won't even fight Charlo, Charlo is the best fighter in the world, he beat a cripple and then beat the great Pee Wee Herman!
