Jacobs is kinda ordinary to me....worst chin than Amir Khan as well.
Nobody is more delusional than Khan and his fans. Jacobs went 12 hard rounds with the world's hardest punching middleweight. Jacobs has only been stopped once many years ago. Jacobs has only been knocked about 4 times in his entire career of fighting hard punchers. In contrast Khan has been stopped 3 times and knocked down about 16 times often by very poor fighters. Jacobs has vastly better chin than Khan. Jacobs will probably soon be a world champion again while Khan's days as a world champion ended for good many years ago.

Nice fight - Sergei's undoubtedly a talented fighter but I think Danny's greater depth of pro experience is really gonna tell here. A smart gameplan will rely on using Danny's length and movement to keep the Ukrainian from getting too much done on the inside where he seems quite adept at throwing short punishing combos to the body.
It's fairly unusual to see stablemates meet each other when it's all on the line, and in this case not at all clear who will benefit the most from their close knowledge of each other, though it does add an interesting dimension. Kinda rooting for Danny here, but I'm hoping Sergei gets a chance to showcase some of the talent which made him a standout amateur too.
