although a lot of people are high on Jacobs, Im not overly thrilled with him. he seems to purely rely on his speed and athleticism, which is a real waste. if he actually sat down on his punches and put real combinations together instead of his flurries, he would be a lot more successful. I didnt care too much for his mindset in that Michael Walker fight either.
aint it always the way...the more skilled prospects always seem to be too slow or lacking physically, and the quick guys seem to settle with the basics and hope that their athleticism gets them through alright.
what a shame
Admittedly, I was high on Jacobs at first; it was probably my east coast bias, lol.
After his last few fights his stock has gone down, IMO. Ishe actually stunned Jacobs two or three times. The thing is, Jacobs was 175 on fight, meaning he's cutting a good amount of weight to fight at 160. And from what I've been seeing in the last 2-3 fights, I'm not sure he could cut it at 168, or 175.
Well, put it this way, he was fighting Ishe Smith. He didn't look anything spectacular, but he got the win and that's the important thing.
He keeps his right too low and Ishe nailed him with a few good left hooks (something he did in the AMs too). He also tends to lay on the ropes too much for my liking, and while he threw a ton, a failed to hurt Ishe.
All in all, it showed what he needed to work on, and was a good learning experience against a veteran fighter with an awkward style.

I missed Jacob's fight with Ishe Smith, how did he look?

andy lee would murder mundine.
Mundine would destroy Lee and stop him within 8. Lee was just a hypejob, who fought jourynman and past prime fighters to get a name, and then was battered by Brian Vera.
In his last fight Lee was in a war with a jouryman again! Mundine is a 2 weight world champion you idiot, lee cant lace Mundine's boots!
