Eddie Hearn has big plans for Danny Jacobs: November return, David Lemieux, then winner of GGG-Canelo rematch

09/25/2017 James Slater

As fight fans know, top British promoter Eddie Hearn announced over the weekend, to some surprise, how he has signed up middleweight contender Danny Jacobs. Jacobs, 32-2(29) will now make his ring return on November 14, when he will face Luis Arias, 18-0(9) in Uniondale, New York.

And Hearn, who said whilst talking with K.O Artist Sports that Jacobs has a genuine superstar quality about him, has big plans for the former WBA champ who pushed Gennady Golovkin so close back in March (Hearn told K.O Artist Sports he had Jacobs winning the fight by a round).

Whenever a fight goes to the scorecards it seems controversy ensues. This is especially true with the two last big boxing matches: Triple G vs Jacobs and Kovolev vs Ward. Many people felt very strongly that their favortite fighter won. How does one ascertain who won a fight? What is the criteria? How do you break ties when a fight is close? In this article, I want to go through the basics and give a simple methodology to judge fights.

Floyd Mayweather calls GGG “Triple-L;” says he’d “put the work in on that boy if I was still active”

It remains the most fascinating, talked about match-up in boxing, even if we all know it will never take place: Floyd Mayweather Vs. Gennady Golovkin. From before his 2015 “retirement” up to the present day, fight fans and experts alike, when asked to list the one fight match-up they’d most like to see made, reply a Mayweather-GGG clash.

Juan E. (Houston, TX): Roman Gonzalez was my top P4P fighter coming into the fight, and regardless of his loss, I still have him there. What were your thoughts on his performance and the decision?

Vito W.: Similar to my thoughts on Golovkin, I disagree with Chocolatito being the top P4P fighter in the sport, and pretty much for identical reasons. I think the whole ‘mythical’ element of the P4P discussion is very watered down, as it only takes into account star power and excitability, not skills. I’ve always viewed the P4P mantle as one to be given to the talent which is the purist, and best talent fundamentally overall. Not just offense and excitability; but defense and adaptation. Judging by the mythical element (excitability, etc), guys like Golovkin and Gonzalez belong on top. But my issue with that sentiment is this: what separates them from the young Margarito’s and Felix Trinidad’s of the world? Those two fighters, as well as Golovkin and Gonzalez would all struggle against deft talents with pure skills to make them miss and make them pay.

If he doesn’t get the GGG rematch, who could Danny Jacobs fight next?

03/20/201703/20/2017 James Slater

Though he didn’t get the verdict many people felt he deserved in his close fight with middleweight ruler Gennady Golovkin, Danny Jacobs certainly proved, or re-proved, his worth in a big way. Arguably the second best middleweight in the world today, Jacobs, once he recovers from the crushing disappointment of losing (or, in the opinion of some, “being robbed”) can get himself some big, big fights.

Jacobs, who lost for just the second time in his fine career (one that could have ended but for Danny’s famously heroic winning battle with cancer) wants a rematch with Triple-G, but it seems unlikely the New Yorker will get one; certainly not this year anyway. So who could Jacobs fight next – who would you like to see “The Miracle Man” get it on with in his ring return?

“I’ve seen flaws I can take advantage of”

After narrowly, even controversially, outpointing Danny Jacobs on Saturday night, middleweight ruler Gennady Golovkin is looking at his next move. Will it be Canelo Alvarez next, or will it be Billy Joe Saunders? Saunders hopes it will be he who gets the next shot at GGG.

Danny Jacobs comes oh, so close to beating Gennady Golovkin! Rematch?

What a night boxing fans were treated to last night in New York! We saw an enormous upset with consensus pick for the pound-for-pound spot Roman Gonzalez losing in a great Fight of The Year candidate to Thailand’s gutsy Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.

And the main event between middleweight king Gennady Golovkin and Danny Jacobs surprised absolutely everyone. Jacobs, pushing GGG harder and longer than anyone else ever has, looked to have pulled off a stunning upset of his own, but it was not to be. It’s very tough to not have a ton of sympathy for Jacobs right now now, however. Did Golovkin deserve the 12 round unanimous decision? Maybe the card that had GGG winning by a solitary point was fair, but Triple-G by three points? That was wide.

Golovkin outpoints Jacobs – Rungvisai beats Gonzalez

03/19/201703/18/2017 Jeff Sorby

Middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) beat a very defensive-minded Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs (32-2, 29 KOs) by a 12 round unanimous decision tonight to retrain his titles in front of a large crowd at Madison Square Garden in New York. You can argue that the fight failed to live up to the expectations of the boxing fans, as there wasn’t much action to speak of.
