Official highlights
it is middle of the fight and commentary is about how great jacobs is and jacobs is getting hit flush to the head while being on the ropes. Bias american commentary as usual.
Reminds me of a Ward fight.
Also looking for excuses why Jacobs lost to Pirog. Wow. So bad Pirog is not active he was amazing fighter. He might have stop 3G too.
I finished watching round 9 I see some blood on Jacobs and stumbling in exchanges. There are times when he doesnt throw and Sulecki throws 3 combos steps back no answer from Jacobs while commentators praise Jacobs.
Makes me sick to listen to this.
Yeah I stopped listening after round 5 because they were only praising him nonstop.
sulecki won that fight
It was a very close fight and some rounds were difficult to score. I don’t think Jacobs won by such a wide margin, what saved him imo was the knockdown in the last round. However, I ended up scoring it 114-113 for Sulecki, but it can definitely be scored in favor of Jacobs.
Danny has tendency to make lesser opponents looks formidable. If he keeps letting lesser fighters hang around one of em will beat Danny at the Barclays in Brooklyn and it will be very embarrassing. He like other Brooklyn fighters fight up to or even with slighly better opponents like say Kid Ali or Saddam ALi vs Cotto. If Danny fights GGG again which I would doubt, Danny will and I mark WILL beat him if not stop TKO.
baaa haaa he was a light heavyweight that night and didn’t even faze ggg give me a break.
Gave GGG the most work i ever saw beside Canelo.
A good fight and a good win for Jacobs because his rival was a qualified and skillful boxer but with very little power on his hands. Otherwise, the outcome may be quite different since the fight was very close which in fact, isn’t reflected at all by 2 of the judges cards that are too favorable to Jacobs. The better score was 115-112 but only considering the knock down on the last round. Honestly, this score still is fully open to discussions since it could very well be just 114-113.
