    I think Jacobs left a lot to be desired.Like you said I think he edged it on work rate.But it was there to be won by either.Smith inconsistent even after rocking Jacobs and was well...Ishe Smith.The one margin of 79-73 (?) was off base.Similar to main events 118-110.

    One scored was absurd. They were 96-93, 96-93, and 100-89.

    I can understand 96-93 because of the deduction, but 100-89!?!

    I had it 95-94 on a stream, rewatched an HD copy & had it 96-93 for Jacobs. I thought he did just that bit more throughout the rounds, although Smith could have had it, but he just seemed to back off everytime he got some momentum & lord knows why he was so desperate to start swinging after the bell. As an aside, in Jacobs' defence of that performance, Ishe Smith has to be one of the most difficult opponents in the sport to look good against

    It was close, but Jacobs deservedly won. No contraversy there, except for that scorecard. That was more disgraceful than the scores in the Paulie fight and there was no uproar. I dont think Ishe could make a case that he won though. He just didnt do enough.

    Ishe Smith is hard to look good against, he can be patient to the point of boring you to death. Jacobs was probably throwing first the whole night, and I havent even seen the fight. Am I right?

    i thought that Jacobs did enough to win, but on that note, he wasn't too impressive, Smith is naturally a smaller fighter, and although he has that Wright quality of making anyone look bad against him, IMO Jacobs just pretty much didn't force the fight enough, that said i had Jacobs winning 115-113
