By Allan Fox: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel “The Miracle Man” Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) did his thing last Friday night in beating the light hitting grizzled 35-year-old veteran Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (28-5-2, 9 KOs) by a 7th round knockout, and now he wants to fight Gennady Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) next. Jacobs says that if IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Golovkin wins his fight tonight against challenger Kell Brook (36-0, 25 KO), then that’s the fight that he wants next.

“I want to prove to the world that I’m the best middleweight. If GGG gets the victory tomorrow, that’s who we want,” said Jacobs.

By Jim Dower: World Boxing Association World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) won a ridiculously easy 7th round knockout win over 2nd tier fighter Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (28-5-2, 9 Kos) in the 7th round in their rematch on Friday night at the Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania. Jacobs knocked Mora down five times in the fight with three of the knockdowns coming in round seven.

Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergio Mora rematch tonight

jacobs-mora-8

By Dan Ambrose: For boxing fans interested in seeing WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) fight Sergio Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) again, the two of them will be fighting it out in a rematch tonight on Premier Boxing Champions on Spike from the Santander Arena, in Reading, Pennsylvania.

It’s not a fight that has really electrified the sport, and you have to wonder whether their Jacobs’ management understands what the fight fans want to see. This is not a fight that the boxing fans want to see again, but hopefully it’s the last time they face each other because it’s time for both of them to move onto whatever their fates are.

Daniel Jacobs 159.6, Sergio Mora 159.3 – Official weights

YouTube video

By Dan Ambrose: World Boxing Association World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) successfully made weight on Thursday for his rematch against 35-year-old Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) for their fight on Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Spike this Friday at the Santander Arena, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Mora weighed in at 159.3lbs.

There has been very little interest in the Jacobs-Mora rematch, and you can hope for is casual fans choosing to tune in on Spike, one of the free channels. It’s just not a fight that the fans in general consider to be needed or wanted at this point. Jacobs showed last year that he was the better fighter in stopping Mora in the 2nd round.

Daniel Jacobs: Mora is a stay-busy fight

By Patrick McHugh: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) has what he calls a “stay-busy fight” this Friday night in his rematch against 35-year-old Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) on Premier Boxing Champions on Spike from the Santander Arena, in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Jacobs’ management and Spike must believe that the Jacobs-Mora II fight will bring in good ratings with the casual boxing fans, because otherwise there is absolutely no reason at all for the 29-year-old Jacobs to be putting his pro career in reverse gear to fight Mora a second time.

Daniel Jacobs hoping Sergio Mora won’t make rematch boring

By Allan Fox: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) will be fighting the unranked Sergio Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) in a rematch that few boxing fans want to see next month on September 9 at the Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania. It’s anyone’s guess why Jacobs’ management choose to have him fight the 35-year-old Mora for a second time, because it’s not a fight that the fans want to see a fan except for Mora’s fans.

Jacobs already stopped Mora in the 2nd round last year, and fighting him a second seems like a pointless endeavor. Jacobs, 29, says he’s hoping that Mora doesn’t make it a boring fight because he wants it to be an exciting fight for the fans for as long as it lasts.

Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergio Mora analysis

By Allan Fox: WBA middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) will be defending his title against Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) in a rematch in less than two weeks on Friday, September 9 at the Santander Arena in Reading, Pa. The Jacobs-Mora II rematch hasn’t caught the attention of boxing fans because it’s not a fight that is in demand at all, period.

The management for Mora and Jacobs obviously saw it as an important enough fight to have it televised on Premier Boxing Champions on Spike. As far as rematches go, I think it would have been far better for Jacobs to have fought Peter Quillin again if he wanted a rematch. I’d rather see the two of them fight each other again rather than another mismatch between Jacobs and the 35-year-old Mora.

Jacobs: Kell is over his head against GGG

By Allan Fox: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) thinks Kell “Special K” Brook (36-0, 25 KOs) has put on too much weight and is over his head so to speak in his title fight against unbeaten IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (35-0, 32 KOs) on September 10 at the O2 arena in London, England.

Jacobs sees the 30-year-old Brook as a talented fighter, but he thinks he’s put too much weight on in bulking up to 176lbs, and believes that Golovkin simply hits too hard for him to deal with.

Jacobs faces Mora in rematch on Sep. 9

jacobs

By Allan Fox: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergio Mora II rematch will be taking place next month on Friday, September 9 in a rematch on Premier Boxing Champions on Spike from the Santander Arena in Reading, Pa. To say that this rematch is needless is putting it lightly. Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) already stopped Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) in two rounds last year in August 2015 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Yes, Mora suffered a broken right ankle in the 2nd round that caused the fight to be halted, but he went down from a right hand to the head. It wasn’t a slip. Mora dropped to the canvas after getting hit with a chopping right hand from Jacobs.

Daniel Jacobs vs. Sergio Mora II on September 9

By Eric Baldwin: In a fight that few boxing fans have any interest in seeing, WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) will be back inside the ring in two months from now in a needless rematch against 35-year-old former WBA junior middleweight champion Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (28-4-2, 8 KOs) on September 9 at the Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Jacobs has openly said that he wasn’t excited about the rematch against Mora, because he would prefer to take on a bigger name. Going back to face the same guy he already beat is a backwards move in the minds of Jacobs.
