Jacobs Misses IBF's Second-Day Weigh-In for Golovkin Fight


Jacobs Misses IBF's Second-Day Weigh-In for Golovkin FightNEW YORK Size might matter after all in the Gennady Golovkin-Daniel Jacobs fight.
Jacobs skipped the IBF's second-day weigh-in Saturday morning for their middleweight title fight Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. In accordance with IBF rules, neither fighter could weigh more than 10 pounds over the 160-pound limit at its second-day weigh-in at 9 a.m. ET Friday.
Golovkin weighed 169.6 pounds on Saturday morning. By failing to appear at the IBF's second-day weigh-in, Jacobs forfeited his right to fight for Golovkin's IBF title in this HBO Pay-Per-View main event (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT; $64.95 in HD).
Their scheduled 12-round fight will proceed, though only Golovkin's WBA and WBC titles will be on the line.

one things for sure. canelo will never fight for this belt. he's comes in 30 lbs or more on fight day

[JASON SHAW]

good for jacobs! Nobody gives a **** about that pos belt anyway!

lmfao.....

[JASON SHAW]

i don't blame him. If he wins, he's the man anyways no matter what the ibf says.

Probably figured he didn't want the extra stress of a second weigh in, just wanted to feel strong and comfortable and big in the ring.

canelo and maidana both outweighed mayweather by around 20 pounds on fight night... I dont remember any articles about that from any websites.....

He re hydrated to 175 easily the 14 hours after the initial weigh in he's not going to lose 5lbs for that belt!
I thought he'd hit the ring at 175-76 but I think he'll be at
178-79lbs now.
GGG at 169 will come in at 172 and I think that's his average re hydration. He IS a natural middleweight.
Good luck to both men safe keeping and empty the tanks.

Well didn't see that one coming, would love to hear Algieri's reasoning for them missing the weight. On another note, K2 screwed up here they should've made him commit to the second day weight with penalties.

This was Algeri's response.

They're trolling. They probably had no intention of honoring the IBF rule b/c of the early Friday weigh-in. Instead of a typical 30 hour rehydration period (5pm Fri to 11pm Sat), they got a 38 hour period (9am Friday to 11pm Sat).

We're going to have a 170lbs fighter vs a ~185lbs figher.

[JASON SHAW]

the ibf are probably the best sanctioning body for adhering to rules and not clogging up divisions with meaningless belts.

Does the ibf have a super, silver or interim championship? No

do they always enforce their mandatories? Yes

do you know **** about boxing? Evidently not..

canelo and maidana both outweighed mayweather by almost 20 pounds on fight night... I dont remember any so called "real boxing fans" ever caring about that or giving floyd extra creidt for those wins....

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.

I read the article. Not really as big of a deal. 2 of 3 titles still on the line. And did you notice I put a LOL at the end there? Extrapolating can be your friend chief.

[JASON SHAW]

dishonorable and disrespectable move.

canelo and maidana outweighed mayweather by almost 20 pounds on fight night.... Fyi
