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

[Larry the boss]

Andy Lee??? he is still around?

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Is hearn trying to ruin the little momentum jacobs did have? These are horrible fights

[Mammoth]

Derevyanchenko is trained by Rozier, guys. You won't see him fight Jacobs. Andrade won't fight anybody.

Lee is a much better opponent than Sullivan and given the stakes would get up for this fight and yes it would be a fight and not a walkover for Jacobs although Jacobs would be favoured. Lee’s southpaw style, height and ackward counter right hook make him dangerous yet he is vulnerable and gets hit and shaken up a lot. Make it happen!

[asgarth]

hearn wants to spike up the attendance and produce sucess headlines by relying on the irish audience.
Andy Lee with katie taylor as a co-feature will probably bring in a good irish crowd.

Still a relatively lame and meaningless main event. Would prefer Andrade, Derevyanchenko or Murata.

I use to really like watching Andy Lee fight but I dont think he should be fighting Jacobs. He has had one fight since he fought BJS and my old memory may be failing me but I recall it being kind of a meh perfomance. Jacobs should be fighting a Charlo or hell why not BJS?

[Bronx2245]

So let's see, Jacobs leaves the PBC, where Jermall Charlo is the WBC #1 Contender, and Sergiy Derevyanchenko is the IBF #1 Contender (he's also fighting out of Brooklyn) in order to fight Spike O'Sullivan or Andy Lee! SMH!

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).

What the hell you aren't serious are you?! You know Andy Lee was a world champion up until 2 years ago?

[robbyheartbaby]

What a great fight for the fans! Andy Lee the former WBO middleweight champion will give Jacobs all he can handle but probably get stopped in the middle rounds, it will be an all action affair!

He's fought 1 time since 2015, where he won a UD against a low level fighter. He is clearly not invested in the sport anymore, it won't be a good fight at all.
