Daniel Jacobs v Julio Cesar Chavez Jr

[powerpuncher]

I can’t completely fault Jacobs but there is no reason he needs to take this fight. It’s a joke and Chavez is obviously dirty. It’s not even a question. I wish that Jacobs would do the right thing and not fight him.

Jacobs chose Chavez and was complicit in getting around the drug shenanigans. Seems to me, the only time fighters care about drug cheats is after they've lost (it's a ready made excuse). How many pull out beforehand when there's suspicion? Charlo brothers reportedly missed tests in recent times, how is that different to Chavez jr?

I stopped giving a shit about drug cheats precisely because fans/media/fellow boxers/promoters pick and choose who are guilty/innocent depending on popularity. Joke double standards.

Matchroom pay for the drug testing on all their cards, no other promotional outfit do that in America. In fact lots of major American fights have no Vada at all - Thurman-Pac, Charlo-Hogan, Spence-Garcia had no Vada testing (Al Haymon fell out with them back in the Floyd days... allegedly).

A couple of things. It should be a fairly entertaining fight which means nothing in the grand scheme of things. JCC Jr. is going nowhere fast, and I don't even mind his pretending it's something it's not. He's a boxing "never was." The fight should be on regular TV, which means I won't have to worry about a streaming service I don't have... so goody for me. Yeah... Jacobs has no need to take this fight, and it's lose-lose from the get-go. But oh well... let Jacobs do what he will do. If he wins convincingly he'll spin it as a great achievement and hopefully bolster his career. It won't be true but again... whatever. Ever since JCC Jr. stopped being a threat for boxing stardom, I've relaxed quite a bit on him.

Sounds like after all of this that Jr missed weight by five pounds and now are setting the weight at 173. He is such a joke.

That would be not shocking for him. What a waste of space.

I am so not interested in this farce.

I rarely skip fights on principle but this one fits the bill. It’s not interesting for one and Chavez deserves absolutely nothing.
