Comments Thread For: Hearn: Jacobs-O'Sullivan Less Likely; Jacobs-Andy Lee Possible

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Daniel Jacobs might fight an Irishman on April 28, but it may not be Gary "Spike" O'Sullivan. Eddie Hearn, Jacobs' promoter, told IFL TV on Tuesday that it seems less likely than it once did that O'Sullivan's handlers will agree to a deal to fight Jacobs at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Jacobs' hometown. Hearn added, though, that Andy Lee is now a potential opponent for Jacobs in a fight HBO will televise that night.

HBO putting on another garbage main event. Jacobs should be facing a legitimate contender not Spike or Andy Lee (who hasn't fought anyone decent in 3 years).

Andy Lee is a way better option than O'Sullivan

[nycsmooth]

this will not even be a competitive fight Lee will be brought in just to absorb punches and then be stopped in the middle rounds...

I don't think Andy Lee is 100% committed anymore, he's been talking about retiring soon.

I Like Andy and wish him nothing but the best in retirement but i dont want to see him fight again and get KO'd for a couple of hundred grand...this will make Jacobs look really bad fighting him. Andy hasnt fought in what, years? ffs

Do better Eddie!

C'mon Eddie, give the fans either Andrade, Charlo or Derevyanchenko with Jacobs. First Arias now possibly Lee, you're taking Danny backwards to kick off 2018!!

Exactly this

Andrade is doing **** all. So it Jacobs so why have two of the best middleweights in the world fight each other?

Think Andrade and Derevyanchenko are fighting each other, sure it was in Dan Rafaels chat last Friday.

Lee is a better name; Hearn would not risk the multi fight deal with HBO putting Jacobs against some dangerous opponents like Sergey D or Charlo, Jacobs must continue winning to sell his fights
