There's been other better fights overall and better KOs (usually predictable KOs), but for that one short span in time where Jacobs and Mora traded KDs, I reached peak adrenaline, which is the main reason I watch boxing. Nothing else so far this year has matched it, which is sad. Am I alone in this? Did I miss anything else noteworthy this year?
Danny struggles hard to make 160 and now Mora drops him, it's time to move up. Haymon signed Eubank Jr, who'll be mando to Danny. He may have Jacobs/Quillin at 168 with the winner vs Chavez Jr, and just have Eubank inherit the WBA reg title.
... but not vs Golovkin, right? because of "who this guy did he ever fight?", right? :)
I like Jacobs but he gets iced by GGG.
Quillin gets melted by Gennady as well.
Was awesome I thought until the broken leg.
Jacobs has power. Him vs Kid chocolate will be fun to watch

Funny because I said the exact same thing after it happened, "this is why I love boxing. I jumped up and definitely felt the adrenaline all over the place lol.
what was crazy was mora didnt seem hurt when he got KD was just a flash kd, jacobs was hurt his legs unsteady.
C'mon son, they were both flash knockdowns. Neither fighter was seriously hurt
On second watch, did anyone see the "TKO" punch not land at all, instead go over Mora's head and then Mora's head giving out?
Another thing, Jacobs is in big trouble if he faces a top 10 contender who can punch.
From 4:16 to 4:20 was just truly awesome by Mora. Including the duck and the backing up, and the just one well placed punch. that was a great punch. It's too bad he had a bad leg.
Mora was never known for his power, he's a defense first guy. My jaw did drop when Jacobs was dropped, but I knew that he wouldn't be on the verge of getting KO'd.

Jacobs is embarassing
The KD was certainly a big surprise... because Mora did it
I literally laughed out loud when it happened more the most comedic moment of the year but I'd have to think
I agree with all of this. The mixture of unexpectedness, embarrassment, and hilarity all made it great.
Hell yeah that was unexpected. The idea of Mora showing he can hurt the other guy changes everything about the prospects of that fight - i knew his knee was an issue, but damn I wish his leg could have held up longer. obviously Jacobs was the harder hitter and but Mora was freezing him with some of his movement, leaving jacobs standing tall and open, he was gonna get some more chances. pirog and mora move similarly and have similar body types ****. Pirog visions=no rematch
