I'm worried about the way Sulecki was "timing" Jacobs. What if Sulecki was as strong as Charlo? Sulecki and Charlo had a similar foe, under different circumstances:
April 20, 2018:
"I got to a point in my career where all I had to do was make weight for most of these guys and I could beat them. My skill was good enough alone. So they called me on a four week notice for that fight and I was like, 'Yeah man, this guy's undefeated and it would be a great victory and put me in a great position to fight these big guys. All you have to do is make the weight? Let's take the fight.'"
That decision proved to be disastrous as he faced Sulecki in Chicago in June of 2016.
"I took the fight - it just completely backfired on me. I tried to make the weight all last minute, I couldn't even make weight the weight. We had to pay a fine, I could rehydrate only eight or ten pounds or something like that and come fight night I was psyching myself out,'yeah man, I'm good, I'm good, I'm fine, everything's good.' Third round comes, I was completely dead. I was just zapped and I had nothing left in the tank and I can't take back a loss. It is what it is but I learned a lot from that and I haven't taken time off since."
Middleweight Hugo Centeno (26-1, 14 KO's) faces Jermall Charlo at the Barclay Center this Saturday night as part of the Showtime tripleheader. At stake is the i
Sulecki stopped Centeno in 10, Charlo brutalized Centeno...EARLY!!!
Not sure Jacobs takes a backseat to anyone in boxing in mental toughness. But physically, I can see Charlo stronger.
But your breakdown of a fight makes sense, Charlo takes it early (if he hurts Jacobs, I can see Charlo winning a decision without a KO), or Jacobs outworks and controls the fight for a decision. I do not think Jacobs has it in him to take out Charlo. That dude is stone.
Yeah.
But Jacobs faced 160 Pirog, GGG, Quillin, Truax.
Charlo faced 154 Trout, J Rock, Centeno....
You sure going to look like stone versus butter...
