Daniel Jacobs vs Ishe Smith in The Works For 8/22

[Kball15]

Yea someone mentioned this Yesterday

Im gonna pick Ishe Smith personally.

I think its an awful decision by Jacobs people. Even if Jacobs wins he will look terrible.

I think its a pretty good fight actually. If Jacobs is the special fighter they seem to think he is, he should be able to beat Smith and even though it'll probably be ugly as hell to watch, I think its the type of matchup Jacobs should just have to go through.

This is a style learning fight for Jacobs, thats it. It's not the best fight for him to shine on HBO, but a great fight in terms of matchmaking and helping a fighter mature and become a complete talent. Because now he'll have a sense of what to do when he gets in with a bigger stronger guy who is slick as well.

Well, Ishe has been hemming and hawing about HBO (as well as the other networks) freezing him out, so this truely is a "do or ***in die" for Smith... expect him to be 100% ready. I REALLY like what I've seen from Jacobs, but I'm riding hard w/ Ishe on this one.
