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

[Scipio2009]

lol wtf? maidana wasn't 20 lbs above mayweather. do you really believe floyd is 150 lbs on fight night? does your mom still breastfeeds you?

Floyd's been out of the ring for over 16 months, walked into his gym, stepped on a scale fully dress, and only weighed 160lbs.

Primed and fit, Floyd's never stepped on a fight scale and weighed more than 152lbs; to dream that Floyd is some massive guy is hilarious.

Someone on here said regarding Lemule that it was a premeditated move by Lemule to gain an advantage. So wouldnt that be the same for Jacobs?

Could be he realised he wasn't gonna make weight and decided to save himself the embarassment and pull out, or it could be that it was premeditated.

Either way I see it as irrelevant to the overall context of the fight.

I don't have a problem with there being no second-day weighin for both fighters, but I don't think it's cool to subject your opponent to it and then not adhere to it yourself.

Jacobs pulled a move out of Lemieux's book with this one.

Will likely still not matter, everyone was already anticipating that Jacobs would weigh a bit more fight night and GGG normally doesn't balloon up much after the weigh in anyway. Between now and the fight GGG will probably push just over 170, and Jacobs probably mid 170s.

I knew he wouldnt be able to make weight. He was around 8 lbs to lose at seven day weigh in. Wont matter though imo. That is what being regularly inactive will do to you.

The thing I hate most about this is that everyone will flood this thread with tears if Jacobs wins now. They will have an excuse, even though this likely will not affect the outcome.

That is not at all an atypical amount for a MW to cut the last week leading into the fight.

The amount that GGG had to lose is atypically small. Most fighters around this weight class aren't that close to the weight they need to weigh in at a week before hand.

Hes coming in big to increase his chin and power, sacrificing a belt to win.

No he dosent want to pay the IBF sanctioning fee. Smart financial move.

[Mukuro]

65$ for this PPV?

I don't blame him. His priority will be to put himself in optimal condition to beat his opponent in the biggest fight of his career, not cling to some meaningless belt. We'll see if it makes a difference.

[Steven Mccowan]

Skills pay the bills? Then how about money fight ggg instead of that wrestler he keeps talking about to try and stay relevent to the yo yo's? Are you that government informant Nes? Because thats who you sound like. If your just a tmt guy and not a boxing guy then that is truly showing in your state of mind and your elementary thought processes

[Steven Mccowan]

Well if jacobs wins it just splits the belts up again and that sucks. If you cant do what you say you will do then dont sign the contract with ibf belt written in it. Thats fair. Not that jacobs will win but there is always atleast a little chance. I

And yeah its a sign of not taking career seriously. Fighting once every ****ing year. And then thinking ppl are racist and disrespectful because they dont know or dont care who the **** you are lol. Pretty simple sport folks. Just gotta pay attention and leave the bias **** for your team sports because all thats gonna count is the ko after all said and done
