Comments Thread For: Jacobs: Fight Not Awkward For Me, Derevyanchenko; It's Business

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If Daniel Jacobs could've chosen his next opponent, he wouldn't have picked Sergiy Derevyanchenko. It's not that Jacobs wanted an easier path to a middleweight title. It's more that their fight Saturday night is complicated because Andre Rozier trains Jacobs and Derevyanchenko. Rozier will work Jacobs' corner. Gary Stark Sr. who, along with Rozier, has trained Derevyanchenko will be the unbeaten Ukrainian's chief second.

Anyone know if they both made the 2nd day weight this morning?

Extra classy response from Jacobs! "If" both guys "hid" strategy out of respect when they sparred each other, then this should be a very good fight "when" they decide not to hide what they thought wouldve been the difference in beating the other guy.....I see Jacobs as the better well rounded "rangier" guy though.....Brooklyn in DA HOUSE!!

Another reason that this can potentially turn out to be a barn burner....

It's awkward whether it's business or not. He's just trying to be politically correct cut the jive sucka and bring the pain

No excuses if you have a lackluster performance. Stop looking average Jacobs and put on a show!!
