Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-04-24, disappointing fight between Daniel Jacobs and Caleb Truax: it gets two stars.Daniel Jacobs entered this fight with a boxing record of 28-1-0 (25 KOs=89%) and he is ranked as the No.12 middleweight in the world. He suffered his only loss in 2010 when he faced Dmitry Pirog, since then he has won eight consecutive bouts beating Jarrod Fletcher in his last fight (=Jacobs vs Fletcher).
His opponent, Caleb Truax, has an official record of 25-1-2 (15 knockouts) and he entered as the No.17 in the same weight class. He lost in 2012 against Jermain Taylor (=Taylor vs Truax) but after this bout he has collected seven victories and one draw. Jacobs vs Truax is valid for the WBA World middleweight title; undercard of Anthony Dirrell vs Badou Jack. Watch the video and rate this fight!

So the funniest thing was the commentator saying that Jacobs could be considered “un defeated” due to his grand mother passing away before his fight that he lost. Uh – he got THE F!@ KNOCKED OUT!
This was a title match…
Ughghghg to much fake bling
This was a mostly defensive battle. Daniel Jacobs deserved his victory after controlling the pace throughout. Caleb Truax was never able to summon up anything much.
