Daniel Jacobs- Underrated!

[Batman]

Isn't it worth mentioning that Jacobs hulked up to a super heavyweight before the fight.

I had Jacobs winning at the time but he did give himself a pretty big unfair advantage

He made weight, just didn't do second day weigh in

he refused the same day weigh in which meant that he wasn't eligible to win the IBF belt, don't get me wrong I know that he technically didn't miss the weight but it is pretty obvious that his tactics were to blow up as much as possible.

Mate, he didn't break any rules, he used them to give himself the best chance of winning.
The people who are wrong in this are the WBC &WBA.
If they had the same ruling , Jacobs would've had no choice.
Everyone can see it's a sensible policy, but since when did anyone give a fuck about that?

I did say "is it worth mentioning"
That was his game plan, no doubt about it, he did break the IBF rules, I'm not saying it is a massive issue or that he should have been DQ'd or anything like that, I just think it played a part in the performance.

Old ginger pubes has been doing it in every fight for years.

For the record Jacobs said he was surprised when he woke up 2 pounds over the reweigh weight. He said it wasn't his plan. Could be true, could be BS. But I have no reason not to trust the guy. I don't pay close enough attention to him to say "he has a history of lying"

I've gotta be honest I've never heard him talk about the weigh in issue, I just always assumed it was a game plan.

@Batman .... I think the weight issue is what prompted judges to start him with a two point deficit. It's one of those unwritten rules of the sport, depending how gluttonous you come into a fight, you are gonna start off behind just because. You have to either wn convincingly every single bloody round, of you had better ko.

In this he says he didn't want to wake up for it. So, 2 different stories, with conflicting stories I just trust neither.
