Who else gets the feel that, Jacobs vs derev will be a pirog repeat.

[_Maxi]

Why did your man crush duck him then?

I don't discuss with mentally disabled people.

Not me. Jacobs is a much better fighter now than he was when he lost to Pirog. Maybe he isn't as good as he was for GGG but I think he beats the 12 pro fight Russian.

[McNulty]

I haven't been too impressed with Jacobs since the golovkin fight. He hasn't had the same intensity and lacks killer instinct in there which derev could well exploit. I'm not saying that derev is pirog. But for some reason I see Jacobs losing his concentration in the middle of the fight and getting clocked cold. Man down.

Wait, does Jacobs have spinal cancer again or something?

[King Arthur]

I think your wishing that would be the case but it won't. Jacobs beats him in the cards.

I don't wish that to be the case at all. I have no preference for either fighter just stating my opinion.

[King Arthur]

Derev is not THAT good either. Jacobs might be able to win based on size.

I've seen enough of derev to know he's a potential threat given jacobs recent form mate.

[Madison Boxing]

dereveyenchenko is nothing special and hes beaten noone above scrub level. not every undefeated eastern euro is a killer.

[King Arthur]

It's possible, but Derevyanchenko is a vastly different fighter from Pirog. Pirog was a tall and rangy and moved well. Derevyanchenko is more compact, powerful and counters well.

Do agree that Jacobs has looked incredibly bad last fight. He didn't even try getting up for that fight. I think he knows Derevyanchenko well enough that he'll know that messing around is not an option, and we'll see a similar person who fought Golovkin.

I completely agree although I could see Derev clipping Jacobs with a sneaky counter.

Wait, does Jacobs have spinal cancer again or something?

I hope not that would be terrible. Where did you hear that?

I didn't, but you're referencing Pirog and it's common knowledge Jacobs was sick at that point in his career. The type of cancer he had effects nerves, especially those in the legs.

You've highlighted something I had no knowledge of to be fair. Didn't realise he had it during that fight

Atleast he hasn't got cancer again. Hopefully he stays that way.
