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

[yammy25]

I'm saying when the two best in the division decide to rematch you stay the *** out of it. Especially if you rank DOG SHT BUMS covered in more dog sht...The IBF has given the worst mandatories I've seen in a VERY long time. Martin and House Arrest Wade. If they can't find quality boxers then get the F out of the buisness. Just like any other buisness you have SHT in unQUALIFIED employees your not going to be in buisness long and your going to be a JOKE.

Every single fighter to hold an IBF belt knows they enforce mandatories.

Ive already said that the IBF rankings were weak for the HW division, certainly at that time, but in the long run of things and taking all the weight divisons into consideration, alongside the complacency of other orgs to enforce mandatories in certain situations and time-frames.. i prefer the IBF's way of doing things.

The Fury - Klitscko fight was because Fury was a mandatory for the WBO. The IBF had the right after the fury klitschko fight to call their mando irrespective of who won because by their rules ( the same in writing to the other orgs ) a mandatory defense was required. They chose to enforce it.. other orgs dont.

In this situation because of a rematch being a better fight then the winner of the first going against Martin i see your point, but on the wider scale? No..

You're basically stating the IBF are ****, but the WBO are brilliant for their enforcement on Billy joe Saunders and his hostage situation with the belt in MW, and the WBA heavyweight mandatory situation is OK.

It isnt one rule for one fight, then discount all the other orgs being **** because it doesnt suit your argument at the time.

Very same situation but not a big deal. Obvious to see why. You're lame as ****.

Not really. 2 titles still on the line. And if your DA would've noticed, I put a LOL at the end there. If your pinhead little boxed in brain would've been able to process that, maybe you'd see the message for what it was.

****** post. Whether you think it's a big deal or not is up to you but no one should advocate for rule breaking. I feel the same as i did last week, i don't think it makes him a cheat like some people in here but i don't think it was very professional either and don't think he should have done it.

who cares about a ****** 2nd day weigh in? When mayweather fought canelo and maidana they both came in almost 20 pounds more than floyd on fight night... I dont remember a single boxing fan complaining about that....... If jacobs comes in almost 20 pounds bigger than ggg this website would go down because of the amount of hate he would get... Double standards as always.....

[JASON SHAW]

he is doing what lemieux did vs stevens with the difference that is ggg in front of him.

canelo and maidana outweighed mayweather by almost 20 pounds on fight night..... Jacobs wont even be more than 10 over ggg....

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?

[yammy25]

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....

None of those bouts was for an IBF belt... so neither fighter had to adhere to a second day weigh in .. so whats your point?

It certainly has nothing to do with my post you quoted about the IBF being a good sanctioning body.

I think enough credit goes to Floyd for resoundingly outboxing canelo and maidana, certainly on the second bout than warrants extra credit for the weight gulf but if it means so much.. well done floyd?

[JASON SHAW]

it's all about the wbc belt. It's always been that way. The others are cool, but that green strap makes you the man. (the wbo shouldn't even be a respected belt, but we all know top rank made that thing to pass around the title and create "champions")

wbc doesnt even do a 2nd day weigh in.... Both canelo and maidana outweighed mayweather by almost 20 pounds on fight night still lost.... Skills pay the bills not size or weight!

[JASON SHAW]

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.

where were all these concerned fan boys when canelo and maidana were outweighing mayweather by almost 20 pounds on fight night??? Crickets.....

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..

I'd have some real respect for IBF if they were even remotely leading the way to once and for all get all belts combined, all sanctioning organizations, one belt. But they aren't. Even Suiliaman is doing more in that regard. Good on any of them who are making inroads toward some reforms, but to say IBF is the best is a stretch.
