Quillin vs. Jacobs....

[IamInuit]

Another bad call. Unreal.

What the F**K was the ref doing ? That was an awful stoppage. Would not have thought that in the USA ring. Even UK refs (who are notorious for stopping fights early) would not have stopped that fight.

[Spicoli]

That was a spastic bad stoppage I do think, he actually steadied the legs and reset a bit then ref waved. At least BS a standing 8

[Spicoli]

Jacobs shouldn't have walked away so fast, how Quillin stayed upright who knows

[Spicoli]

Two of the classiest in the biz right there, they need to rematch.

Yeah upon a second view he looked completely absent when the ref stopped it. Totally blank

[No Contest]

I would have gave him a standing 8 ...but it wouldn't have saved him. Just more punishment.

Jacobs has always been this explosive, then he winds a bit and gets hit clean looking for bombs. Quillin remained upright and steadied, thought it too soon.

[armin]

Anyone else warch that and think what pirog coulda been if not for bad back

Watching a replay now, expecting to see a controversial stoppage! A little early, but not controversial. In my opinion, of course!

I hate first round knockouts in fights like this because it could have been a fluke by Quillin getting caught cold. Maybe if that wouldn't have happened in the first round, Quillin would have easily won. I'm not saying he would have necessarily, but maybe. First round knockouts at this level are usually flukes more than one fighter being really good.

I would like to see a rematch but if Quillin doesn't want one then whatever. I think Jacobs needs one more big fight like against the lee-saunders winner and if he wins, I fight with GGG would be big. As of now though, Jacobs would still be a massive under dog.

[VG_Addict]

I don't see the problem. Quillin took like 20 unanswered punches. He didn't want any more.

Although it was hugely disappointing to watch the fight end in the first round, it's hard to criticize the ref for the stoppage. Ironically, had Quillin been knocked down, he would've gotten a few more seconds to clear his head..... then the right thing to do would've been for the ref to count until he got up, and then make a judgment on Quillin's condition to continue fighting. The usual is for the ref to ask the fighter to put his gloves up and walk to him.

Classy display by both fighters after the fight. I didn't realize they knew each other from way back. Type of fight where a rematch would make sense.
