Comments Thread For: Shane Mosley Jr. makes a statement with win over Daniel Jacobs

[MulaKO]

I wouldn’t even consider this fight a sparring match
Just how bad it was
Not sure what to consider it

Some guys wear out quicker than others , it's about more than just when their birthdays are. There are always going to be outliers , but generally 37 is old for boxing. For every guy like Usyk or Beterbiev there are fifty more who no longer have it at 37. That's the norm.

Like I said most all the top boxers and across multiple other sports are in their 30s today so that's kinda irrelevant 37 isn't what it was 20 years ago..you didn't even have hardly any boxers at all outside of maybe hopkins and foreman that were on top at 37 20 years ago...in recent history top boxers are well into their 30s still beating up guys in their 20s.... which in the real world is actually normal because a 20 something will usually get wiped out by a in shape guy in his 30s in a real fight 1 on 1

main problem has been people actually thinking their old when they are in their 30s and letting themselves go because society says you're old now but that's changed now people are seeing they actually can stay young for longer if they take care of the body and don't take too much punishment..

Regardless of his age, Jacobs looked like he literally just got off the couch didn't train much at all really just came for the check. Whatever the case he def did not do a full hard 8 week camp just looking at his body it was obvious then the lack of accuracy in his punches just seemed overly sloppy he couldn't have been doing much mitt work lol.

Let’s just say he didn’t do much of anything
Quite sad

Beating Daniel Jacobs decisively is not a statement win. Jacobs hasn't been a threat in the ring for a minute now. He's not a smart fighter, and his corner is worse.

The statement that Mosley Jr. made was that Jacobs should've never come out of retirement.
If you take the Rosado controversial loss into account, Jacobs is on a career worse three fight losing streak.

Jacob's made some real money and packed it in lol. what a fall. coming out the amateurs he was talked about as a future ATG. had some close fight against GGG and Canelo. then fell apart

[megas30]

Jacob has always been overrated. His biggest win was against another hype job in Peter Quillin.

He's older than Donaire was when he fought Inoue the first time. I thought that makes him "ancient" around here.

Donaire turned 37 in that year himself clown, and was already washed up and shot, plus he took way more punishment than jacobs ever did in his career at that point.

[landotter]

Lackluster end to a decent career.

The curse of the aged boxer: Can’t pull the trigger.

I’ve watched as some of the most aggressive pressure fighters got old, and then they turn into the worst mixture of styles — wading face-first into opponents (like, I’m fidna kill you!) and then waiting for an opportunity to counter. That gets ugly fast.
