Comments Thread For: Hearn: Daniel Jacobs Will Be A Different Monster At 168 Pounds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS Weight was a divisive issue before Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs fought Saturday night. The 6-feet Jacobs came in 3 pounds over the contracted limit of 170 at their second-day weigh-in Saturday morning. That decision is believed to have cost Jacobs $1 million from his eight-figure purse and gave him a perceived advantage over the significantly shorter Alvarez.

Danny is weakened at 160lbs and the weight-in just confirmed Oscar's game plan. I made this same point back in April. Danny will be much better at 168 but he'll still have problems with head movement and counter punchers.

Will he develop a jab more menacing than the limp noodle it resembled against Clenelo?

[minemax]

He will be quite average...

Cancel this dude already. When he comes up short in a big fight at 68, he'll make more excuses. There's a reason a lot of these guys aren't worth the buck, and his performance solidified that last Saturday.

I never believed this dude would win and his pre-fight interviews and demeanor said just that. I still watch his fight against Golovkin to this day because he actually tried to put forth an effort, but his performance against Canelo was poo-poo.

Again, I'm glad I didn't cough up $80 for this and I won't if Jacobs' name is ever in the mix again the main event. Leave the big stage to the guys who'll perform, not the ones with the built-in excuses who just want big paydays.

It's unfair to the fans when a guy begs for a big payday and packs it in as soon the opening bell rings. To add insult to injury, he continued to gaslight us with the whole, "I feel I did enough to pull it off" jibber jabber. Eff this dude!

Jacobs needs to throw his hands more. He's technically sound and ****s but maybe there is a lack of menace that all fighters need to be true monster.

Jacobs will be more comfortable at super middleweight, but can he beat a guy like Callum Smith? I doubt it, after that tentative performance against Canelo. I didn't hear any of this before his fight with Canelo, and he showed more aggression at the weigh-in than the actual fight.

Jacobs , imo , laid a big fughin egg
Not sure if he’ll do any better at 168

Well if Canelo decides to fight someone other than Callum, then match him up with Jacobs! DAZN is pretty thin @ 168!

[Curtis Harper]

Nelo will go there and beat him again. DJ will complain about feeling sluggish.
