Since losing to Pirog..Jacobs is 11-0 with 11ko's with 4 1st round ko's

Fight ggg and dont hide behind promoter or money

Noone telling you to fight for peanuts but the trend seems to be guys such as billie joe saunders having 1 or 2 good wins then asking for unrealsitic money to avoid threats

Hopefully jacob doesnt do that

I havent seen a group of guys cling to a lone loss that happened 6 years ago like GGG fans do with Pirog.

What's funny is these same guys use to forget about Pac being KOd by singurat and whatever the hell the other guys name is. Now all of a sudden these same guys can't seem to forget Jacobs losing to a much more proven fighter than that of the GUYS Pac was KOd by.

Weird

I wonder why?

True, no fighter should be written off and denigrated as a bum because of a KO loss that happened when he was 23 years old, like Jacobs, or only 22 years old, like Lemieux. But that's what happens at this place.

Sturm didn't win his super title from anybody. He fought for a vacant title - which nobody had held for 4 years - against a guy called Giovanni Lorenzo. Lorenzo had never held a world title and he wasn't the WBA's No1 contender - GGG was.

Meanwhile, GGG, who was the interim champion and demanding his mandatory shot at Sturm, was nominated to fight for a downgraded "regular" title against Nilson Tapia.

It later came out that Sturm's promoters had promised a 6 figure "donation" to the WBA in return for them bringing back their super title and nominating Sturm to fight for it, instead of making him defend against GGG.

How did David L win his title?

Being that he didn't shift while throwing the straight left, he shoulda probably skipped the left hook there and thrown a right...but the shift is generally just stepping through with the foot the same side as you're punching. Sometimes it's done inadvertently by over committing or just having sloppy footwork. There are some fighters that use it well to close distance and create angles for follow up shots, but generally it's not a good practice imo. You can get caught square and it brings your head forward with it...there's a danger of walking into a shot and making it much harder cuz of the forward momentum of the head. Definitely something for guys who are experienced and comfortable with it.

This video has been posted before but it's worth looking at again.

At 4:10 it shows GGG using a type of shift which might have been the same move Szpilka tried to use on Wilder. But Szpilka would have been starting it from his southpaw stance, not ideal against a right hand power puncher, but it still might have worked if he'd done it properly.

The same way Danny Jacobs won his.

Nice video...good share. Whatever szpilka was attempting, he ran into a hard right hand for his trouble.

And I specifically remember you calling DL a real champ and Jacobs a fake one even though Lemeiux's best wins were against guys Quillin already beat

[Jubei]

Now if Jacobs just had some balls then we could actually see a decent fight.

Are there any Danny Jacobs fans on this site??

If so please tell him to man up, stop the excuses and fight GGG in December.

Devastating. Good on wilder for capitalizing on that opening.
