You next Jacobs glass jaw about to Crack again.

Guys, that's hypocrisy. We enjoy watching KOs but shed tears for boxer's mothers? We support the sport that regularly results in deaths, caused directly by inflicting purposeful damage by one person to another. It's like eating stakes while crying for poor cows!

Eventually boxing will be banned as people will stop allowing a sport that results in health damage and death. Or, hopefully, change it in a way that will make the sport safer (like virtual boxing where each boxer boxes a hologram and we see the two boxers on the screen). But until then... boxers know the risks, and so do their family members.

Check this out!

I'm talking about GGG fanboy nut hugging that they feel the need to say he'll knock out Jacobs by the pack in every thread. You look insecure be sensible.

it's just a betting odd favorite. GGG by KO is the far most likely outcome of this fight.

i am being sensible.

[Blackclouds]

you're going to tell me if you saw another one of your brothers get knocked stiff, wheeled off on the stretcher .... you gonna go gunslinging just like he did?


please... be sensible.


Jacobs is shook by that KO. he said he's emotionally disturbed by that KO.

Jacobs wins by decision.

What they need is more padding just outside the ring so guys who fall through the ropes cannot hit monitors and tables and other sharp objects and people. Closeups with cameras and TV crew is not as important as a fighter's safety. Curtis could have been badly hurt if he had hit something with his head and it is not right.

Totally agree. They say a sudden knockout is better than taking round after round of punishment, so hopefully Stevens returns okay. I still think he can compete, but that was his last shot at a belt I'm sure.

Yeah, long sustained punishment, especially if a fighter is dehydrated is worse for sure.

I was more concerned with Stevens mother. Watching her really hurts the heart to see a mother go through what she did witnessing something happen to her son that she has never had to see before. I'm relived that Curtis is okay and that his family is not suffering from a greater tragedy had things turned out much worse. I can see how Jacobs felt seeing his friend go through that. We are not savages here, at least I would hope there isnt anyone that is is so evil that they would want this or worse things than this to happen to a boxer.
