Jacobs v Sulecki / Miller v Duhaupas

[palmerq]

Just watched big baby Miller due to Shaw hbo canada being on stupid delay. 117-111 for me.... Why does Miller gain 20lbs for this.... Bizarre.... He likes to roll defensively but he just isn't that quick and fluid at it with the weight he has :S... How the Dickens is duhaupas 60lbs lighter than you.... Miller has a good punch output but I think this fight showed the drawback of his high weight, he was having a good round followed by a take it easy next round.

I actually think Miller does have a lot of power it's just his opponent sees it all coming, he can beat guys down over time, like Washington and watch but 300lbs forces him to take it easy some rounds and the guy recovers. He does have some hood attributes and he could make em work at a higher weight than normal but 300 doesn't work for him(in my opinion), burn off the fat get a bit more speed and snap on the punches and bug baby will be looking good...


Oh... Post fight interview, bug baby likes cheeseburgers.... My 600lb boxing life featuring jarrell miller coming to TLC this fall :S

3 rounds into Jacobs v Polak, I think team Jacobs picked a bad opponent, he's been called a 154 lb fighter but he has spent the most of his career at middleweight, Jacobs is not looking like a superstar at 160 just now...

And when and why did Liam Smith get removed the Saddam Ali fight?

Smith pulled out with an allergic reaction/ allergy to something.

Jaime Munguia is apparently the replacement for Smith.

Enjoyed Jacobs/Sulecki. Good fight by Sulecki, he just doesn't have other gears or power. Just good, good, good, good, good.

Thought Jacobs footwork was very sluggish. Now I'm wondering if it's always like that and I just didn't notice it against GGG because GGG is so predictable so having his feet ready is easy. Or if his legs are going.

Will go watch the GGG fight again now.

Didn't have to watch long to see a difference. When Jacobs feels threatened his feet get in place much quicker. Perhaps Sulecki's lack of power made Jacobs a touch lazy. Because he moved his feet sluggish against GGG too when not threatened. Or perhaps his legs are going. Need to see another fight. But if he moved his feet like that against Charlo I think he's in trouble.

I thought that Jacobs won the fight convincingly. He definitely seemed to be confused at times with what he was doing but won the fight for me for sure.

I never used to be that impressed by Jacobs but then he started impressing me a bit more and after the GGG fight, I was convinced that he was really good. Now, after these last two fights, I’m starting to see him how I used to loom at him. A good fighter that will just barely miss the top.

I think he loses to Charlo and BJS. He may be able to beat GGG in a rematch. He beats Canelo. I don’t know enough about Murata or Derevachenko to make a good prediction.
