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).
