I Always Said Daniel Jacobs Was Overrated.

Always said it. He just always never had that x-factor about him and I have always never rated him highly.

Pirog really took him apart and exploted him.

Strongly disagree, the main issue here was that people didn't watch enough of Pirog, people didn't know much about him. He was beaten by the much better man.

But if he was as talented and good as every1 said he was, he should of put up a much better fighter.......imo

You're right to a certain extent, but people should have looked into Pirog.

i knew jacobs was destined to be exposed as soon as he stepped up his comp. dude has no snap on his punches to keep the pressure off him and isnt elusive enough to be a pure boxer

i never thought jacobs was that great

I honestly thought he was the real deal, theres no denying hes got the skills , speed and power to be a top fighter, but the Sky analysts were saying Jacobs is used to being the bully in the ring, and basically today he came up against a bigger bully and couldnt handle the pressure. I think they are right....

Jacobs defence looked pretty shocking though I gotta say, that big right hand was inevitable

[-EX-]

Siggy's right, I said before the fight Danny's gotta box this guy...and it became apparent he REALLY had to box him, and that's not his style so much...

After the first round I realized Danny was in trouble...couldn't get Pirog's respect and was all over the ring in no time...smh

jacobs power was severely overrated. u see his punches? now he's forced to be more of a boxer and cant sit down on his punches and his lack of power is even more evident

Well thats the thing, the dude cant fight on the backfoot, hes still got power, he just cant use it at all going backwards, Jacobs has good pop in his punches though, maybe not top class but there definately something there.
