I'm a Jacobs fan, but I think it's absolutely HOGWASH, that he get's to fight for the belt that he blatantly didn't follow the rules for to gain an unfair advantage over GGG only 18 months ago.

Yeah, you can make the argument that GGG probably should've fought this guy and he wouldn't get stripped of the belt, but he followed the same rout as past champions before him didn't want to fight him early in his career to risk a bigger payday later on.

Jacobs will have to limit his rehydration and weight on fight night, that's good for Derev, Jacobs won't be 180s.

I've always been curious, what time is the same day weigh in at? Like, if it's the morning, then what's stopping guys from just hydrating later in the day?

It's the next morning around breakfast time

This fight will likely show us If Sergiy can take a punch, I'll make a call on If it goes to the later rounds Sergiy will get Jacobs outta there.

Yeah true, but didn't Jermall get a shot before Jacobs?
I dunno about all of this, but I see your point Jacobs clearly flipped the IBF off, but all of a sudden because its an easy route to getting a title... Yeah I don't think he deserves the shot, Charlo Vs. Sergiy should have been the fight to make.

He does look a little small.

But Jacobs doesnt have the greatest chin either...

It various but usually between 10-12 so the fan/media can pack in.

Derev looks too SMALL!

why do you think the CW Jacobs is fighting him? will Jacobs come in at 185 lbs or more?
