    Nothing special so far.

    His last outing he fought his best opponent in Smith and lost a few rounds,got wobbled by a guy who is featherfisted,a division smaller and who he had 10 lbs on.

    Watched his last fight and wasn't overly taken by anything he did. I won't slate him but i wasn't to impressed by him just jabbing his way to a points victory...i expected he do more then that.

    He is solid but not as good as I once thought. He needs to work on a few things but he is young and his upside looks pretty good.

    considering he's only 22, thats impressive, lets wait and see how he develops

    I think people here are seriously underrating him. Will he have a super exciting style where he knocks everyone out? Probably not, but he's only 22 and I'd already pick him to beat just about anyone in the weight class. If he continues at his current rate of development, he still has the potential to be a P4P fighter.

    He's okay but not special. He should at least pick up a title at some stage. Main draw backs are he has very little power to speak of, and can be backed up quite easily. He's also not that difficult to tag.

    So far I did not like the way he responded to Micheal Walker's pressure, or the way he allowed Smith to be competetive.

    But, just as others have pointed out, he's only 22 years old.

    Seeing how Ishe Smith outclassed him and should have won a decision, I'm not to high on Jacobs.

    I''ll have what you're smoking.

    Smith won 2-3 rounds.

    Stevie Wonder gave him 3.
