Comments Thread For: Saunders' Promoter: Jacobs Fight Will Happen on Our Terms!

[ShoulderRoll]

The Americans being their usual poisonous selves in this thread. Just like clockwork.

What do you expect when yet another Brit fighter is ducking a tough American threat because "he doesn't bring anything to the table, doe?"

I thought Saunders was bragging about how he loves to come into fighters' hometowns to squash them. Why not do the same in Brooklyn with Jacobs?

Maybe cuz jacobs is a weight cheat ??? who wants to deal with that..

There are plenty of fighter for Jacobs to fight to earn some points before getting into the ring with Champs again.
Curtis Steven, Ebaunk, Charlo - why is Jacobs not going after them ,?

Truthfully Saunders, Jacobs, Charlo, Andrade should all be fighting each other. But they are all trying to land a fight with Canelo/GGG so will avoid each other in the meantime and wait their time. Facing each other is too risky and a loss knocks them out the running for the big fight. But it's stupid that it's almost guaranteed that the Canelo/GGG rematch is happening in May these guys are locked up for back to back fights and none of these guys are trying to fight each other.

Unless ordered to do so,...DJ, Charlo, and Andrade are not ever going to fight each other because “they are friends”. Just like Lara and the kid chocolate said they would never fight. They were Cuban “friends”. At least that’s a good enough excuse for then NOT to face each other in the ring. They all want the fast track to a big payday/ second chance in DJ’s case without actually working their way up to the title.

Wait, DJ is actually willing to fight Saunders.

Why are you criticizing him for wanting the fast track without actually working his way up...instead of criticizing Saunders for ducking DJ?

Saunders wants the winner of Canelo and GGG

Not hard to see there’s more money and prestige on the line than taking a fight with DJ. I wouldn’t call it a straight up duck per say. I like DJ but let’s face it, he isn’t as great as he thinks he is. He was up for GGG and lucky he went the distance in their fight. He looked undisciplined in his last fight and failed to get the job done as he should have against a c level boxer.
Another thing DJ should consider is that Saunders is a natural southpaw which will give him troubles. It’s one thing to be a switch hitter, and another thing to fave the genuine article. Chances are good this plan could backfire on DJ in a very unfavorable way. After watching the fight last weekend, I don’t think DJ stands much of a chance to be honest. He can’t cut off the ring much better than Lemieux and will end up going in circles much the same way. Saunders has a sharp jab that stifled Lemieux and while not as potent as GGG’s, it’s enough to keep an opponent at distance and honest. DJ didn’t like GGG jab and he ain’t going to care too much for Saunders either.
If he went after a Charlo or Andrade contender, he would probably fare better because they are relatively less experienced with upper tiered opposition. Charlo has who on his record beside rosado and trout?? Andrade keeps pulling out of fights so he needs a big name like DJ to keep relevant. Not hating on DJ, but his options with the top guys are limited sin he may as well do some house cleaning of the division.

Saunders doesn't need Jacobs he's irrelevant. All Saunders needs to do is fight who he wants in April and wait for the Canelo GGG rematch. Jacobs blew it he should fight Charlo in the meantime.

hahaha bro it's got nothing to do with race don't bring that s*** into it c'mon!

[rickJen]

Saunders don't need Jacobs in a similar way GGG needed Daniel.
It's I-way or the I-way for Saunders.
Jacobs can dictate absolutely nothing from this fight.
If you don't want Saunders' terms, so what?
He doesn't need you doe.

Who mentioned anything about race?

This is strictly about a Brit ducking a high-risk American opponent.
