When was the WBA resolution?The WBA is supposed to release the time-line for the mandatory to take place anytime now.
@ringmagazine @GGGBoxing @DanielJacobsTKO why not? At some point doesn't the @GilberticoWBA @WBABoxing have to have super and regular fight?

Only by the crooked GB judges. Pirog was outboxing Jacobs clearly for 3 of the first 4 rounds, nearly had Jacobs down in the 1st.To be fair, Jacobs was actually beating Pirog and had lost his grandmother a few days before the fight.
As insane as the Mora knockdown was, it was a flash knockdown. And of course, if GGG catches Jacobs like that, it's game over.
The problem is, what if Jacobs catches GGG? We haven't seen GGG hit with someone who posesses the power and speed of Jacobs who is also capable of outboxing GGG if GGG decides to box and not rush in.Comment

It ended on the 19th, I don't why they haven't released it yet. They might be waiting til after the holidays. They had mandated Jacobs vs Eubank first, but Eubank might be going after the British title instead or abandoning the WBA for the WBO held by Saunders, even then Eubank and Hearns said the WBA fight could range anywhere from 3 to 9 months from now.Comment

Eubanks vs Jacobs is a good fight as well.It ended on the 19th, I don't why they haven't released it yet. They might be waiting til after the holidays. They had mandated Jacobs vs Eubank first, but Eubank might be going after the British title instead or abandoning the WBA for the WBO held by Saunders, even then Eubank and Hearns said the WBA fight could range anywhere from 3 to 9 months from now.
If you could call the shots, given Canelo is also in the mix, how would things play out for you in 2016 with Canelo, Jacobs, GGG, etc?Comment
