    Not only that, but Jacobs threw most of his punches just to score points, without any bad intentions on them. Maybe because Smith is hard to hit and he didn't want to commit too much to his shots, I dunno, but it was definitely a turn off.

    He told us he hurt his right hand in training which is why he chose our softer classic glove rather than the punchers glove he originally wanted.

      I think they mentioned he'd injured his hand prior to the fight, which may excuse some of the pitty-pat punches. I guess we'll find out in his next couple fights.

        my goodness some of you really need to follow the sport better.

        as for the subject if some of you were soured on GC after the Smith answer this simple question

        has anyone looked good against Ishe?

        Mora? arugably lost
        Julio? arguably lost
        Wolak? exposed

        Ishe has a style that you simply cannot look good against and Jacobs had to stay busy rather than sit down on his punches to get the W

        he did and lets not forget just one fight ago he stopped an opponent who had never been hurt or close to being stopped prior in Walton
        thank you..thats what i basically just said...people write fighters off to soon on here sometimes

              People are saying that he needs to go to 168 but he would get clobbered at 168 by any of the top guys.

                I agree, he should be at MW.

                However, if he is ballooning up to 174/175 for the unofficial weigh-in, he may not have a choice but to move up soon because it seems like he is probably killing himself to make 160. Some guys' bodys are more resilient than others, though.

                  I was surprised at his not so great performance against Smith.

                      He doesn't know out Smith and now people think hes a hype job? Hes 22 and was in the ring with an awkward fighter. Guy is talented and can be the very best in his division in a few years. People bad mouthing a fighter after a fight he dominated is something that words can't describe.
