It surprises me how many fans don’t know the rules of boxing.
First, what does this revelation prove? Jacobs agreed to this fight ever since he walked in the ring after Fielding. Jacobs and Hearn never delayed or complained about this issue in order to make the fight. That means Jacobs’ team would know what must be done for diet and overall weight come May. If the difference is 5lbs that is depriving Jacobs, then it simply means Jacobs isn’t as good nor dedicated to lose weight on general muscle mass. Water weight and muscle go hand to hand in boxing, and ideally the ratios are consistent.
