By Dan Ambrose: Former world champion Chris Algieri is working with Daniel Jacobs as his nutritionist to help him get ready for his fight against Gennady “GGG” Golovkin next month on March 18. Jacobs surprised a lot of people recently in weighing in at 174.8 pounds for the World Boxing Council’s 30-day weight check this month on February 18.
The upper limit for the weigh-in was 176 lbs. and Jacobs barely made it. In contrast, Golovkin weighed in at a slim 165.1 lbs., which is only 5.1 pounds away from the 160lb limit for their fight on March 18.
