Could be that the early morning weigh-in on Friday made it too long for Danny to keep his weight down before fight time.
He did a 2nd day weigh-in for the Mora rematch in September b/c PA commission requires it. The IBF is an optional rule.

Maybe you miss understood, we were referring to the time in between the two weighins...Last edited by icha; 03-18-2017, 09:27 AM.

Jacobs was supposed to weigh in in the last hour or so.. so its only 24 hours.
I fail to see who 24 hours is too much time between weigh ins like people are suggesting its hard to not go over putting on 10 pounds in that time frame INCLUDING sleeping.
Jacobs passed up because he wants weight advantage and is willing to forego the IBF to have that advantage.. simple. But saying 24 hours is too long between weigh ins insane.

But for Danny to weigh-in Friday morning, that mean he had all day he had to keep his weight from going up = stressful.
Yeah I agree, he wants the weight advantage over the title, but I think it would've been too much stress on him to keep it down all day on Friday. I wouldn't be surprised if he's in the low 180's come fight time. Figure on a 10lbs weight advantage over Golovkin.
