Comments Thread For: Jacobs: IBF 2nd-Day Weigh-In No Problem; GGG Situation Different

Crazy for the IBF to strip their champion GGG and give a vacant title shot to the guy that broke their rules and dumped their title shot to get an advantage over GGG. I’ve liked Jacobs, but he was looking to get the unfair weight advantage and therefore lost a lot of respect from the fans. If he was 170 on the morning of the fight, he would have done the weighin😂. Anyone that is not biased can clearly see that. Jacobs hasn’t looked the same since he fought GGG. I have no idea who Deverechenko is, but I’m not interested in this fight as the real IBF champion will still be GGG until he gets beat in the ring.Comment

Of course he has I’m not dis*****g that .He is a middleweight powerhouse ,all I’m saying is if I was Jacobs knowing that his opponent is more rounded than him not to mention Jacobs has a suspect chin so extra 3 pounds of adipose tissue around the chin area could be imperative. Yes he probably outweighed GGG by 15 pounds come fight night but I believe the weight helped his survival and as a result increased his stock. For me he was the closest to beating GGG . Not that that means anythingComment

I agree with ya.
I think he used his brain with that one doesnt mean hes not a weight cheat.
Too bad for him even with that extra weight he still got put down.Comment

If you followed GGG as an amateur you would that Abel has done absolutely nothing for him he was already a great fighter. He could brawl and box and was very evasive,with great movementComment

And lost but it was that performance that balked the knockout run of GGG and ignited the belief in GGG naysayers.

Put him in with the G man again and it will be a different finish.Comment

It's hard to believe you actually believe what you are saying. If Jacobs had a fight set with Canelo there is no way in hell he would risk that fight by fighting the Russian. The situations are completely different. You are just a GGG hater trying desperately to make GGG look bad. To say that GGG was too chicken to fight a Russian with 12 pro fights is just plain ******. GGG has already fought both Jacobs and Canelo who are both far more dangerous and better fighters than Derevyanchenko and you damn well know it. GGG fears no middleweight on earth. Why should he when he is the best.He is the real middleweight champ and everybody knows it and Jacobs said it.
fair point(s) there.....
problem is, Loeffler said that the reason why they will not fight Derevyanchenko is because Golovkin wanted to be paid more money for such a risky fight
also.....
when Sergio Martinez showed little interest in Golovkin, because he had been chasing a much more lucrative money-fight with Cotto..... Golovkin fans called Martinez a duck, and still do to this day
you cannot have it both ways..... and Martinez had signed an agreement with HBO to face Golovkin next if he got past Cotto..... but Golovkin refused to commit in writing to Derevyanchenko
while I see your (valid) point, I guess I enjoy winding up the golovkin-fanboys who have already spent considerable time disrespecting a number of PROVEN warriorsComment

so he admits he did it to gain an advantage and put on more size. the actual weight is irrelevant whether its 175 or 180 because the cap was 170! lol what a clown admitting all this like its no big deal. hey no big deal i wanted at least a 5 pound advantage in a boxing match! then he admits its different this time cause he can't do it since its the only belt on the line lmao!
If Jacobs played the part of the bully he would have won - and if he came in lighter and kept the same plan he implemented he may well have won also.Comment
