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

[Wizardsh]

Gaylovekin is a B fighter...Jacobs is a B fighter at best, so if he loses, he's not and never was a level (with I never thought to begin with), if he wins it's a step in the right direction, but he's got to beat some real threat, none of the C level guys that are currently on his resume now.

Jacob is f level, c level way to high for him

**** off you piece of shet!

You must be joking.

Or he could just be leaving the IBF belt open for his Haymon stablemate Charlo.

GGG waited the same amount of time and he made it. Jacobs did this to help himself, it's that simple.

GGG retains the belt regardless tonight.

Thus is why you only voice in boxing will ever be a ****ing idiot on a boxing forum.

If It Doesn't help him, he wouldn't of missed weight

Jacobs was 176 this morning. He will be over 180 tonight.

This is a ploy by a team that's scared of ggg power and wants to come in as heavy as possible.

It's that simple. Should we expect anything less from him now Ward and Hunter helped him.

I fully expect Jacobs to headbutted, hold, grab arms, and be a complete dirty fighter tonight.

Funny that pissed you off so bad. Ignorance isn't bliss after all.

That would be entertaining and interesting.

There's about 20 to 30 posters here that are so predictable with their responses in terms of which race they side with every time. Whether they're white, black or latino, they always side with their chosen race.

In fact, when a boxingscene article just comes out and no one has replied, based on the article you know the ones who will be the first to say something that always shows their bias. It's like clockwork, they are more predictable than a statue.

Do you think it's possible that an extra 10 lbs of lean muscle mass may help w/ both power & speed? https://t.co/cfHpbnRfob

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.

Sounds like you're trying to come up with an excuse you shameless coward

Who gives a ****. The better fighter will win. Size doesn't win fights, skills do!

Definitely. Golovkin doesn't seem to rehydrate as much as Jacobs as it is, so staying within the IBF 10 pound limit an extra seven to eight hours won't effect him as much.

Moving the weigh in to the morning instead of the usual time should actually be viewed as a weight handicap for Jacobs. He did what he should have done, if he didn't feel he could healthily stay within ten pounds of his weighin weight an extra eight hours. Moving the official weighin time to the morning that late in the game definitely didn't do a fighter cutting more weight any favors.
