      He lost to Shawn Estrada in the Olympic Trials 24-14 then turned down the opportunity to become an alternate and instead turned pro. He's 3-0 with 3 KO's now.

          I haven't seen him fight. Hard to find his fights. He's got to be pretty good to beat Jacobs though.

            Jacobs holds a previous victory over him, but when it counted Estrada found a way to beat him in the trials. Estrada is a difficult style because he's very strong and is a good body puncher. He holds a little much for my liking, though.

              Yeh Jacobs already beat him,i think Jacobs has defeated everyone who has beaten him,hes like 4-1 against that other good Olympic prospect ( i forgot his name,the big one)

              I hear Jacobs wasnt in the right state of mind for the trials,his two trainers split up momentarily or something and he couldent choose who he wanted,but its all sorted out for his pro career,hes 3-0 (3KOs) and has looked very sharp,the Yahoo announcers where comparing his punches to SRL
