    cant see many great match-ups for him in his division either
    Jacobs is a thinker in there he takes the opponent apart gradually, there is no flash because he thinks his way through what he is doing, which is something i love to see, especially in a young fighter.

    Guys like Joe Green,Ortiz,Khan,Gamboa are too aggressive and fight with their heart instead of their head.

    Did you see Jacobs last fight ? he looked the best he has looked imo. Jacobs will only extend himself if you extend him and him and i like that because he dictates the pace of the fight and controls distance.

      He has a lot of that to do...His last outing did not make him look good non-what so ever. IMO I think this is the wrong sport for him!

        He will learn. Some boxer learn more from a loss than if they were continually knocking people out

          Homie...I hope you're right...I hope he can get it together because he's a good fighter but he needs to work on his heart a little.

            .I just dont see an array of skills from him that will allow him to become the fighter they are hyping him to be.

                I dont know, they might both be on the same level.

                Thing is though i feel a lot more people are taking to Kirkland than Angulo because he is American and that is why i feel he is getting vastly overrated more so than Angulo.

                      Again its difficult because ive only seen Martinez against Bunema and Cintron and whilst i think he beat Cintron, i dont think he is that much better than someone like Moore, although i would prolly go for Martinez because he has more experience at this level and because of the speed disparity, speed counts for a a lot in Boxing imo.

                      Not to say Moore is slow!! but i think he is a little too conventional to beat Martinez. Moore was struggling with Andrew Facey before.
