Comments Thread For: Jacobs Misses IBF's Second-Day Weigh-In for Golovkin Fight

[yammy25]

... except that David Lemieux was in an IBF-sanctioned title eliminator and broke and IBF rule, while Jacobs is the WBA challenger, with the WBA having no such rule

Can you link me to somehwre reputable that it says the IBF sanctioned this and not the WBONABO?

How the **** is not as big a deal? It's the same damn thing. Jacobs agreed going in to fight for the IBF title.

Plus it's a bigger deal than last week b/c of the early weigh-in. Lemieux weighed in on Friday at ~5pm. Jacobs weighed in on Friday at 9am. That's an extra 8 hours Jacobs has to rehydrate.

Lemieux atleast had the honor of stepping on the HBO scales before he got into the ring and weighed in a reasonable 177lbs. Lets see if Danny agrees to show his true weight before the fight.

... how is putting on 17 pounds in a day "reasonable"? lol

People should be calling out Motorcity**** though since he called Lemieux a cheater for this same **** and he's been on Jacob's nuts.

really?????

The former IBF champ didn't know about the IBF second day weigh in Yea, ok

He claims he wants a rematch with GGG. Fighting for this POS BELT puts him in position to earn a mandatory spot for GGG's IBF

Maybe he shouldn't have agreed to fight for it. And he should've informed Stevens. He's watching what he eats while Lemieux is feasting. It was a ****ty move

doesnt read like that to me

[yammy25]

you said that if it was my favorite fighter that I would make a big deal about it etc etc etc...

again....

my favorite fighters going for belts does not make a difference to me.

not quite that hard to understand and ive been complaining about these belt orgz just like everyone else.


How long has it been since they, ABCs, have been talking about unifying all the divisons etc... they even had some sort of meeting in mexico like 2 years ago....

nothing has changed.

That i dont dispute, but id much rather as a fan my ruling body turned around and said to my fighter..

You have a mandatory, and you will fight him on this date. you have enough time to do big money voluntaries inbetween. if you get injured, you will fight your mando first when you are back.

rather than

You have a mandatory, you can keep the belt hostage right up until thats called and not fight anyone in the top 5 ask for an extension and then get injured whilst training for that fight and then when you get back you can have a tune up fight and then call out everybody with a belt who already has fights signed. meanwhile whilst all this is going on we will do absolutely nothing in terms of eliminators and you can fight your first mandatory over two and a half years after winning your belt.

Where all the people who said Lemieux cheated at? Hope they hold Jacobs to the same standard.

Daniel Jacobs isn't rated by the IBF; David Lemieux was fighting in a ****ing IBF title eliminator.

what same standard are you talking about? lol

really?????

Javi I just bumped his Lemieux thread. He's trying to save his exposed double standard ass now in other threads.

[sicko]

I didn't give Lemieux **** for it last week so I'm certainly not going to give Jacobs **** for it either this week. Lets see if HBO can be consistent because Kellerman and Lampley said last week that as long as a fighter makes weight it doesn't matter who much he weights fight night or something like that and it was other defending Lemieux as well but I certainly don't expect most on this forum to be consistent!

2 words. Charles Martin


Who was he you ask??? The IBF big BAD ASS IBF Heavyweight Champion....For like 3 MONTHS.

They choose HIM over Tyson Fury and Wladimir Klitzschko to be their Champion.

And you say the IBF is the BEST??, LMAO @$!/$!!!. DAMN YOUR DUMB.

So basically you're angry with the IBF for applying the rules instead of playing favorites?

Daniel Jacobs isn't rated by the IBF; David Lemieux was fighting in a ****ing IBF title eliminator.

what same standard are you talking about? lol

So now you have to be rated by the IBF or it's ok? Double standards on NSB are hilarious... they expose the bunboys of boxingscene.

If WBONABO sanctioned that bout aswell ( which they did ), who lem was also ranked with, and he then decided to **** off the IBF and go solely for the WBO route, then what he did is no different to Jacobs following the WBA route and not bothering with the IBF.

Just because Lem was ranked with the IBF and jacobs isnt doesnt mean anything.. they both made the same choice for the same reasons.

One isnt a cheater while the other is, they either both are or both arent.
