Marquez - Diaz II Fight Thread

I don't see it with Jacobs. He's not a future star. Not sure what to think of Pirog yet but he seems confident and why not?

Jacobs is a skilled boxer, but his KO percentage is incredibly misleading. He won't be knocking out many legitimate opponents. I still think Ishe Smith would have beaten him if he hadn't waiting until the 4th round to start fighting.

He's used to initiating and not needing to step off,I dont know if hes ever been behind and had to fight back to win??Early kos can be a double edge sword.

Jacobs just tried to make friends with Pirog...and just got KTFOUT !! Wow....this is why I love boxing

The judges should be fired.Golden boy......what do you expect.Exposure 101 tonight and we discover a pretty fine fighter as well.

Did HBO give out the scores? What were they? Given that he is a GBP fighter I would imagine Jacobs had won every round on at least two cards.

All three had him up 2-1 I believe.He was effectivly totally outclassed...loved how the house fighter gets air time to do damage control but unknown Pirog gets nattas....nothing...not even a gift basket.

I'm really liking Pirog so far. He's got Jacobs in full retreat, though Jacobs is boxing quite well off the back foot.

Holy Shit! Brutal KO!

[CFH]

You have to feel for Jacobs though, his mind couldn't have been all in the right tonight considering the woman who raised him died a few days ago.

[fan johnny]

That was awesome in normal speed!

Wow! Pirog looked class. Even before the Ko he was putting Jacobs on the backfoot and should have scored that KD in the 2nd. 17 straight wins 14 by KO. The guy is for real.

Jacobs will probably have an excuse for losing. He looked good in parts but he is the Amercian Amir Khan. Great against bums but faced with a similar aged/sized boxer he was out his depth. Good appetiser for the main event.

I'm not fan of Jacobs, but IMO he has a pretty valid excuse given that the person who raised him died a few days ago.

And I don't think the Khan comparison in apt. Khan had looked very shaky before getting stopped by Prescott, Jacobs has looked good against almost everyone prior to this though I think Ishe Smith gave him a tough fight. I'm no fan of his, but he can bounce back from this. Like Khan, this loss could make him a better fighter in the end (as they just said on SKy).

[OumaFan]

Pirog looked good, you could tell right off that he was pretty athletic and skilled.

I thought Jacobs was a bit of a hype job coming in but I'm sure that would be rough for him with the death, I didn't hear about that cause I'm watching a spanish language stream.

War Diaz. He probably loses but war anyway.

Was Jacobs another goldenboy fighter? Well there goes another prospect.

He was indeed.
