Definitely looks like they are just wrapping a trinket for Jacobs in his hometown. Was hoping he and Quillin would get down and scrap, with this he'll have something to bring to the dance. Jacobs has had a nice return but he still has yet to face and stomach solid adversity....how good is Fletcher?

Fletcher is a real slick boxer - beat Adonis Stevenson and james DeGale in the amateurs - and just coming off a 12-round win over European champ max Bursak in Monte carlo. Very good technician. Fights a lot like Geale - they were room mates on Australian amateur teams

Quillan wanted no parts.

I'm still waiting for GG to face and stomach some solid adversity.

I don't buy that. I can see Gbp silver plating this trinket and having the two face off in easily made match in both guys hometown.

What is it with this Golovkin fetish of yours? Comparatively speaking Jacobs is behind Golovkin in comp faced and beat. Jacobs is a good fighter, but you show me where Golovkin is being wobbled by Ishe smith or taken deep and bricked out by Pirog and maybe you'll have a point.

Stop being so defensive..

You're talking shit 4 years ago.

GG has yet to fight guys on Smith or Pirog's level...especially when he was 23.

Golovkin got his nose bloodied by the dreaded Adama....a slow...basic...ricketty nobody..
HBO didn't even air that trash.

I wonder what Smith or Pirog would do to a 23 year old Golovkin

I'd rather tell people I got wobbled by Ishe Smith than get busted up by Adama...at least they'd know who I was talking about.
