Jacobs-Quillin: Will winner face Golovkin?

by

quillinBy Dan Ambrose: WBA “regular” middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (30-1, 27 KOs) will be facing unbeaten former WBO 160lb champion Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (32-0-1, 23 KOs) in the battle of Brooklyn this Saturday night on Showtime Championship Boxing at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

What will be interesting about the Jacobs-Quillin fight is if the winner of the contest will agree to fight undefeated IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) so that they can attempt to capture the real WBA title instead of having to hold the minor strap, which you can argue is little more than an interim belt rather than the real thing.

1-pac-algieri.fn_.02.500w-420x251By Allan Fox: Former world title challenger Chris Algieri (20-2, 8 KOs) will be attempting to halt his 2-fight losing streak on December 5th when he faces the 5’10” light welterweight Erick Bone (16-2, 8 KOs) in a scheduled 10 round fight on the undercard of the Peter Quillin vs. Daniel Jacobs card on Showtime Championship Boxing from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The Algieri-Bone fight will take place in the 147lb division, where the 32-year-old Algieri has had his last two fights. #6 WBO 147lb contender Algieri was beaten recently by Amir Khan in a close controversial 12 round decision defeat last May.

Eubank Jr. wants Cotto, Canelo, Quillin and Jacobs

by

eubank56565By Scott Gilfoid: Not satisfied with name dropping IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s name, WBA interim 160lb champ Chris Eubank Jr. (20-1, 15 KOs) has now added the names of four more fighters to that list. The 26-year-old Eubank Jr now says he wants to share the ring with Miguel Cotto, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Peter Quillin and Daniel Jacobs within the next year or two, along with Golovkin.

That’s a pretty long list of fighters, and obviously the only way that Eubank Jr. will be able to fight all of them is if he wins all of his fights in the next two years. This means that Eubank Jr. will need to defeat #11 WBA Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan in their fight on December 12th, and then he’ll need to beat the winner of the Quillin vs. Jacobs fight.

Chris Algieri to fight on Jacobs-Quillin card on 12/5

by

algieri5By Dan Ambrose: Former world title challenger Chris Algieri (20-2, 8 KOs) will be fighting an opponent still to be determined on the December 5th Daniel Jacobs vs. Peter Quillin card on Showtime Championship Boxing from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. There’s talk of a potential bout against 44-year-old “Sugar” Shane Mosley.

It would be a good fight if it happens on this card. Mosley recently made a comeback after two years out of the ring and fought well in beating Ricardo Mayorga by a 6th round knockout last August at the Forum in Inglewood, California.

Jacobs: Quillin is slow and loads up too much

Image: Jacobs: Quillin is slow and loads up too much(Photo credit: Ed Diller/DiBella Entertainment) By Tim Fletcher: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (30-1, 27 KOs) has sized up his unbeaten opponent former WBO 160lb champ Peter Quillin (32-0-1, 23 KOs), and he knows what he’s getting himself into in their fight on December 5th on Showtime Championship Boxing from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Jacobs sees flaws in the 32-year-old Quillin’s game that he feels that are areas that he can take advantage of when the two of them start trading shots for real. Jacobs notes that Quillin is slow on his feet, and focuses too much on loading up on his shots with everything he has.

Jacobs – Quillin on 12/5

by

quillinBy Dan Ambrose: Former WBO 160lb champion Peter Quillin (32-0-1, 23 KOs) will be challenging WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (30-1, 27 KOs) on December 5th in a fight televised by Showtime Championship Boxing in the “Battle of Brooklyn” from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

This is officially a title fight, but it’s difficult to see this as involving a real title rather than one of the minor trinkets. The World Boxing Association fouls things up by having three world champions at 160, and none of them are considered to be in the class of Gennady Golovkin, Miguel Cotto and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.

Sergio Mora suffered fractured ankle in loss to Daniel Jacobs

Lucas Noonan/Premier Boxing Champions) By Allan Fox: Former WBA junior middleweight champion Sergio “Latin Snake” Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) suffered a fractured angle last Saturday night in getting stopped in the 2nd round by WBN World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (30-1, 27 KOs) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Mora’s left leg slid out from under him when he was trying to dodge a right hand from Jacobs in the 2nd round. While slipping to the canvas, Mora injured his ankle, which was later said to have been fractured.

The fight was then stopped by referee Gary Rosato with Jacobs getting a TKO in the 2nd, even though he technically didn’t land a punch. The fight should have been ruled a no contest instead of a knockout win for Jacobs.

Daniel Jacobs says he’ll fight Peter Quillin next

by

EW5G4572(Photo credit: Lucas Noonan/Premier Boxing Champions) By Dan Ambrose: WBA “regular’ middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (30-1, 27 KOs) got a cheap win tonight with his opponent 24-year-old Sergio “Latin Snake” Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) suffering a freakish leg injury in the 2nd round of his fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The referee Gary Rosato stopped the fight and ruled it a 2nd round knockout despite Mora not having been touched. Rather than give Mora a rematch to clear up the controversy, Jacobs says he’ll be facing former WBO 160lb champion Peter Quillin next in a battle of Brooklyn fighters.
