Jacobs was already 176lbs in the morning when he missed the IBF weigh in!!!

There is no hate train, it is what it is.

Look at their history and there is a trail of double dealings, lawsuits, outright lies and hypocrisy.

These men live by the law of the jungle, not decreed by a civilised society.

 

I can understand that some are upset with the Jacob didn't honour the IBF second days weigh in.
That's his choice as he already paid with no IBF belt on the line. Not so much of an issue as nowadays most fighter weight 15-20 pounds the next day after the initial weigh in.
I'm pretty sure most ggg's opponents in the past weight over 170s when they stepped on the ring.
He made 160 on the official weigh in. The fight is ON!
It won't change the outcome of the fight.

 

Its an IBF rule and has nothing to do with the official rules of boxing.

This is the same org who allowed Peterson keep his belt after getting popped for peds and made his fight with da Machine 141 so he could keep his belt because they knew da Machine was going to polaxe him
And its the same Petterson who put 25 pounds on over night against Danny Garcia , coming in at a whopping 164 for a light welter weight bout.
Did anybody give Garcia a pass for winning a robbery against a Middle weight. Nothing is fair in boxing son. If you were around the sport for long you would have accepted that a long time ago , but its clear you are new to this game which explains your outrage over such trivial matters

 

He complied with the rules of three out of the four title organizations. The only reason he didn't comply with the IBF rule, is because the official weigh in was moved to 9 in the morning, instead of being in the early evening. This was done at the last minute. In light of that, the IBF should have probably scrapped their re-weigh, as asking rehydrating fighters to stay within 10 pounds of what they weighed in at, for an extra 7 to 8 hours is asking a bit much for guys who may have been expecting to have 8 hours more time to not worry about weight.

 

It's hardly a punishment considering he isn't going to win the belt.

He needs to learn there are rules and the only way it will hit home with the likes of him is when it comes out of his pocket.

 

Peterson, supplied medical evidence that supported his requirement for TRT.

What has a decision in a fight got to do with obeying rules? I've yet to see a governing body overturn a decision because a few stupid fans feel a fighter should have won when the fight went to the judges.

Anyway you clearly are a Jacob's apologist. It's pointless arguing with you, as when I do you present facts, you then descend into a spastic and start quoting lyrics and illegible words, so I'm not going to waste my time any further.

I know I have far greater repertoire of knowledge of the sport than you could dream of, know fighters who participate in the sport and have personal experience in training such individuals. Your experience is limited to uttering share drivel online and backing shameless cheats

 

pok pok pok

 

You should do watch darts. No weight cutters in that sport.

 

You're a comedian.

The circus is looking for some clowns who don't move around much but can utter nonsense at will.

 

Oh brother....

 

The weight isn't really the issue here it is the fact that Jacobs has given himself an advantage by having the extra recovery time and his build up will be a bit easier not having to attend the weigh in.

It might sound like bro science to you and I have no research to back me up but adding more than 10kg-22lbs after a weigh in (even 36 hours out) has minimal extra value i'd say its a negative and you would be better off fighting a weight class above.

Jacobs won't come in more than 180 if he's healthy, and GGG will come in at the same weight as Jacobs but his body would be more fatigued having to maintain the weight below for a longer time.

Don't get it twisted middleweights don't come bigger than GGG

 

I saw it too, he said they didn't spar this training camp but Gassiev has been training in Big Bear for years, they've sparred.

 

Yeah I thought they had,he's another beast

 

It's not just that. Daniel Jacobs can't put the weight on his Chin to make it sturdy...

But Triple G can add his own brand of "weight" to it (via fist impact).

We'll see how it unfolds soon and I can't wait. Expecting Triple G to approach this fight differently than he did Brook (for obvious reasons). He'll probably look to establish a meaningful body attack early on.
