Victor Conte, the sports nutritionist working with Jacobs, tweeted that Danny weighed 176 at 8AM the day of the fight, "all by design".

Victor Conte, the sports nutritionist working with Jacobs, tweeted that Danny weighed 176 at 8AM the day of the fight, "all by design".

Well if Victor Conte tweeted it....

again where did 6lbs come from?

"“According to Victor Conte, Daniel Jacobs weighed 176 pounds at 8 am today ‘all by design.’” said Lance Pugmire on his Twitter. If Jacobs was at 176 at 8:00 A.M. this morning, it could mean that he’ll be 5 lbs. heavier by the time the Golovkin fight starts this evening. Jacobs could come into the fight over 180, which is what Conte believes could be the possibility.
“We predict Daniel Jacobs will step into the ring around 178-180. This is war,” says Victor Conte per Pugmire."

so if the IBF sees that one of their Champions is participating in another sanctioning body's Championship bout, the IBF makes their Champion also defend it? It makes sense since that's how they make their revenue.

So basically Golovkin had to comply with the IBF's own rules or else it would become vacant, win or löse? Am I understanding the rules correctly?

If that's the case, Jacobs' has justified himself in saying that the IBF was on Golovkin's part. I don't see how this is Jacobs' fault.

This is a complete non-issue. Golovkin's fought bigger guys before, and he will again. Jacobs's size is not why he did well.

I dont have the proof in the same way you dont have the proof. So we are talking about the opinions in this case.
You think it was some neligible difference in the weight, well I dont. I know what I saw the other night, and it was one guy being much bigger than the other one.

As for the later part. First, I consider Jacobs to be the 2nd best MW and certainly better much better than B level fighter. He would beat any oher MW ncluding Canelo. Gennady was somehow less active and probably can do better, but he still clearly won and he outlanded, knocked down, hurt multiple times the elite opponent in the meantime. As Abel said 7/10 is the mark for his performance.

Next time it will likely be much worst for Jacobs.

That's some more bull**** Golovkin fans are running with suddenly Jacobs is "Elite" now. You guys really are pathetic. Not that it really matters, die hard fans will make excuses whatever. What matters is the rest of the boxing worlds opinion and casuals opinion, Golovkins stock took a huge hit. The aura of invincibility is gone.

I think it's pretty clear what that rule says.

It's clear what the rule says but it's clear you don't understand it.

You shouldn't provide text you can't comprehend. I can help you out if you want me to.

No i don't need you to. Carry on in your own little ******ed world.

IBF should have made a special belt and a special ruling so that Jacobs could have been awarded the interim regular shyster SMW belt should he have won.

Everybody saying Golovkin exposed and that is why he he won't go up to SMW. Well he just fought and beat a very capable SMW on the night. 175 lbs my a5s
