Yes I did and I’m still masterbating to Dion Charles’ winner.

I was dead in line with it from the home end. Quite the strike and a proper celebration in there too. Fair play. Enjoy the tug.

Where's Cash been? Seems a long time since he fought.

He's been through a lot of tragedy.

Where's Cash been? Seems a long time since he fought.

Several family members died in a car crash, he split from his wife and he had a bad bout of covid which put him in hospital.

Perfect comeback fight for him. Someone who he should beat but has a decent record and ranking.

Always liked Felix. He’s got a no nonsense style which I always enjoy watching.

[samwbr]

Sounds grim. Good he's back, decent fighter.

Press Release

Two-time Middleweight World Champion Daniel Jacobs insists that he still has plenty left to achieve in his career as he prepares to face Islington’s John Ryder in an Eliminator for the WBA Super-Middleweight World Title this Saturday, February 12, at Alexandra Palace in London, live worldwide on DAZN (excluding New Zealand and Australia).

The 35-year-old Brooklyn native (37-3, 30 KOs) earned a split decision win over two-time World Title challenger Gabriel Rosado last time out in November 2020 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Hollywood, just under a year on from his fifth round stoppage win against Mexico’s Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Despite his inactivity, the former WBA and IBF Middleweight ruler, who has taken pound for pound stars Gennadiy Golovkin and Saul Alvarez the distance, still has a burning desire to mix it with the best in the world and write his name into the history books as a two-weight World Champion.

“I’m looking forward to a good scrap,” said Jacobs. “He’s a good fighter from what I’ve seen. I know he’s in his hometown, so I’m expecting him to be pumped and excited about it. Also, I’ve heard from him before that this is an important fight for him to get towards title contention. I’m looking forward to seeing exactly everything that he has to bring.

“It has been one of my goals as a professional to fight in the UK, probably in London because I’ve been here before, and I know how the magic works. I know how deep the crowd is into their boxing. I look forward to experiencing that. Good city, good town, good people.

“Everything is fabulous; I’m back to where I need to be mentally, and I realize that now coming back with my old trainer Andre Rozier and Anthony Irons, things are where they need to be. I was missing that good spirit that I once had in my career, and now it’s back, and I’m looking forward to presenting it and giving the fans a good show.

“Every fight is a must-win. Every time you go in the ring, you don’t go into a battle looking at it like, ‘If I lose this one, the next one will still be a good opportunity. There will always be a step back if you lose a fight in boxing. I’m grateful that I still have the chance to have these big fights. The biggest goal for me right now is to stay focused and keep an eye on the tiger.

“Granted we win this fight, which I’m sure we will, my next fight should be an opportunity to become a two-division World Champion. I have the opportunity to do that, and this guy is in the way. I have to make an example but also by myself. This camp I’ve been myself the entire time. I can’t ask for anything better.”

Press Conference at 1pm UK time

The way Eddie is going on, nobody has ever brought a star of the magnitude of Jacob's to The UK. Ok, that's why he's in North London, not sold out, and half the tickets have been sold by a gimmick.

Is he saying it in terms of he promotes him?

I can think of handful of stars that have been brought over.

Obviously UK promoters don't promote US boxers do they? Apart from Hearn cus he's got Matchroom stable in the US.

[JamesPhilips]

I'm not sure why exactly but this fight doesn't excite me. I think it's because neither fighter has ever interested me, though not sure why.

I'm actually more excited in the Johnny Fisher fight...... I think I've become a casual

I like it because I've got a soft spot for John Ryder and Jacobs is still a reasonable name, but god knows what type of a fight it will be.

Good main event, fancy Ryder in a close one but undercard is terrible

Tis a shame about the undercard, although the Romford Bull has a decent challenge for a guy who is in his 5th fight. I'll give it a watch, there might be something else good that doesn't show on paper.
Main event is decent, can't figure why folks aren't more into it. I also fancy Ryder taking it, but it won't be easy by any means. Which should make for a good fight.
