Comments Thread For: Hearn: Chavez Is 'Right Opponent For Jacobs' Debut At 168

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eddie Hearn's rationale for choosing Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. as Daniel Jacobs' next opponent is two-fold. First and foremost, Jacobs' promoter believes that the Mexican veteran's name recognition remains valuable enough to attract attention to Jacobs' debut in the super middleweight division. And Chavez's size and durability make him just dangerous enough, yet not too dangerous as Jacobs gets a feel for being a full-fledged 168-pounder.

[Boris Johnson!]

has a famous name that sells tickets but sucks at boxing, isn't that a promoter's ideal opponent for all his fighters?

It’s not gonna happen. The drug cheat is suspended.

Another Hearn F.up ! If the commission decide to ban him in Nevada for going against the Ali act that is there to control rogue promoters like him doing stuff like this thenthat would be right. Back to the o2 with Whyte or maybe a Khan fight in S.A.
.........lol ..what a prat!

Come back fish face all is forgiven!

Get Jacobs zebra looking ass back down to 160 to fight Jermall Charlo!

Yeah go ahead with it eddie, by all means....I can’t wait to see Matchroom USA lose its promotional license for Nevada and then be brought up on both state and federal charges. Make sure you have a great suit on when the U.S. Marshals take you away in handcuffs on camera.
This shows you just how wrong dazn was to go with a foreign promoter for an purely US venture. They should have gone with DLH first and foremost and given him the big pool especially if their target was Mexican American subscription. And that is ALL Hearn cares about with this fight, getting Mexican American suscribers. He badly wanted PBC fighters for black Americans subscribers but tank, spence, wilder, the charlos, broner, etc said NOPE. Look for him to make a renewed hard push for Garcia....just watch

Damn Jacobs ugly as hell!!big ears haha joe

Against conventional wisdom, I suspect Chavez jr is training hard and will get in the best shape he's ever been. He may give a good fight, and not look awful as when he lost every round to Canelo. He has almost two months to prepare well.

This could be a dangerous fight for Jacons. This is the first fight in a long time where Jacobs doesnt hold a size advantage. Chavez is strong and could wear down Jacobs if he gets to him. Jacobs isnt always the sturdiest fighter.
