Comments Thread For: Peter Quillin-Danny Jacobs Targeted For 2/1 at Barclays

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The Super Bowl of fights already took place on Sept. 14 when Floyd Mayweather Jr. out-pointed Saul Alvarez in Las Vegas in the biggest fight of the year.

But there’s another fight that could potentially happen on Super Bowl weekend in Brooklyn, New York, sharing some of the attention of the NFL’s title game and cultural happening at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, told a small group of reporters on Wednesday he’s working on making a fight between WBO middleweight champion Peter Quillin and the cancer-survivor Danny Jacobs of Brooklyn for February 1, the day before Super Bowl XLVIII in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center, provided that Quillin wins on Saturday night in his title fight with Philly’s Gabe Rosado in Atlantic City. Quillin did his part, stopping Rosado in the tenth round on cuts, making the fight closer to becoming a reality. [Click Here To Read More]

from what i saw saturday night "maravilla" still has enough left to beat kid chocolate by close discision Triple GGG would KO him early indeed if the fight with rosado was allowed to continue kid chocolate would have lost

[AntonTheMeh]

danny jacobs will beat him.

[STREET CLEANER]

Quillin ain't rematching Rosado. Outside a Martinez fight this is the most money they are going to make for Quillin fighting Jacobs in NY. They have a following and a backstory.

[Hougigo]

Jacobs has a decent chance if his chin holds out and the judges are fair

[dan_cov]

I think Jacobs beats him soundly, hes probably going to need a stoppage though if lasts weeks judging panel was anything to go by.

[The Fan]

They want Jacobs to have the title before they throw Quillin back into an iffy rematch with Rosado.

[MDPopescu]

Jacobs is dangerous -- he took a close look at Death... He fights as if he's fighting the "last fight"...

[MDPopescu]

They want Jacobs to have the title before they throw Quillin back into an iffy rematch with Rosado.

Yes. It's most likely that they are making this fight for Jacobs.
