Comments Thread For: Jacobs: I Was Just Going Through The Motions In Rosado Fight; Just Gonna Have To Show You

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It was a feeling Daniel Jacobs had never experienced inside a boxing ring prior to the night of his fight with Gabe Rosado two years ago. For the first time, Jacobs didn't have that same fire burning within him that enabled the former IBF middleweight champion to fight his way out of poverty and later through cancer, or to withstand the power of Gennadiy Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez. He was just kind of there that fateful night in November 2020 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

looking at their levels of competition Jacobs should clearly win this. Ryder has to fight at his very best and Jacobs close to his worse for Ryder to win - but I'm also thinking tht Jacobs has silk pyjama syndrome.

Wtf? Hahahaha that’s a new one. Does that mean he’s like, living a life of comfort and he’s half way into retirement or something?

Jacobs has seen hard moments in his life. Cancer is a bad beast.

Perhaps he's come to a point of living more for the appreciation of his life itself than to achieve more. Having said that, I do hope he wins by knockout for my own insignificant profit

Yea it's hard to throw punches when someone is hitting you in the face, and all you want to do is get another check too.

That’s awesome.

Disrespectful to Rosado!!

Jacobs let that $$$ make him soft. Dude fired his trainer too so that showed his character.

Who cares about his sad story at this stage?

Jacobs has failed at every time when he stepped up. I doubt his motivation at this moment in his career.

Danny "I was just going through the motions" Jacobs. What a clown.

[MeanestNiceGuy]

He did the same in the Canelo fight after BEGGING for it for years. He showed up, stunk up the joint and ran away laughing with his check. Haven’t been a fan since…..

Doesn't seem like he can pull the trigger anymore, I'd like to be wrong on that because he can still be a useful name. But yeah, I remember that telecast very well, it was all about how much money Jacobs could make if he looked good, that if he won he would be in the drivers seat getting offers from all promoters and this and that. Now he was going through the motions
