Comments Thread For: Jacobs Explains Missing IBF's Second-Day Weigh-In for GGG Fight

[Robbie Barrett]

So Floyd did allow himself to be weighed on fight night? I've never come across those weights. Where can I find them? Thx

Google............. Or watch Mayweather fights they're usually shown, there's only about 3/4 fights where he didn't get weighed.

Victor Conte and you own team said that was the plan all along, that you had at least 10lb + on GGG.. easy to figure out for everyone, even Kellerman said in the broadcast that his team said Jacobs will be 180+.. look at the face of his trainer when Jacobs said .. err probably 175.. LOL.. yeah buddy.. if you were 175 you would have stepped on the HBO scale.. boy was 182-186 and still afraid to engage and got dropped and his face turned into pumpkin pie.

Earflappy will get KTFO in a rematch that forces both fighters to adhere to the same weigh-in rules.

Darril Peoples , the IBF President must personally **** victor conte's snitch ass and keep him away from boxing

[Robbie Barrett]

I laughed at the "around 175" comment,,i don't think so,he looked more like over 180 to me,he did look a lot bigger and don't say he respects the sanctioning bodies

You can tell someones weight within lbs just by looking at them?

He should have said that before the first weight in. Respect the cheater. Good thing he lost. I would have respected him and probably felt bad for, but he took unfair advantage.

So Jacobs drained 26lb? You're as ******ed as Amir Khan

Danny about second weigh in......

"“But for me, I really wanted to focus on this fight. And we had a game plan. We wanted to make sure we used our size .......

Well that BS because he basicly was on the move 75% of the fights, he only faced and threw shots 25% of the time.

To come in noticely bigger you'd think it would be to out muscle GGG but he boxed on the outside and did a little running too. He did better at southpaw because he made GGG calculate his foot work and become more methodical.

I think like every one of GGG opponents when they get hit early they get RESPECT for him right away.
He didn't get hurt bad on the knock down but it was NO push and he got rocked in the 9th also.

I thought Danny was smart but fell short with total volume of punches. GGG played very solid defense by his shoulder & head movement and his telling punches out weighed Danny's by far. Good tactical fight by both men.
7-5 or 8-4 either way is ok but GGG clearly won.

''The 6-feet Jacobs acknowledged that he missed it because he wanted to make sure he had a significant size advantage of the 5-feet-10 Golovkin.'' -Idec

All Jacobs said was that he wanted to feel comfortable next day.

“It’s my prerogative to wanna get up at 6, 7 o’clock in the morning to do a weigh-in, and be restricted to 170 pounds. So it was mainly me just wanting to stay hydrated and not have to focus on the little things, even though I respect this boxing game. I respect all [sanctioning bodies] and their rulings. “But for me, I really wanted to focus on this fight. And we had a game plan. We wanted to make sure we used our size and we had the best possible nutrition that we can. And waking up early, for me, was just a hard thing to do. Not because we were overweight, but I didn’t wanna have an issue whatsoever.” -Jacobs

Advantage in weight, height, reach, speed, age and still lost BC he refused to come forward and engage GGG... Only himself and his trainer to blame. Trainer even said at one point - stop running away.. Walk away.

[Mitchell Kane]

What's there to explain? He wanted an advantage....and I wouldn't put any stock in what his camp says about what he "actually" weighed.
