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.

Daniel Jacobs hoping to KO Sergio Mora this Saturday on ESPN

001-Danny-Jacobs-IMG_4514By Dan Ambrose: WBA World middleweight belt holder Daniel Jacobs (29-1, 26 KOs) is hoping to get a knockout victory this Saturday night in his voluntary title defense against #10 WBA Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (28-3-2, 9 KOs) on Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN on the undercard of the Danny Garcia vs. Paulie Malignaggi fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

For Jacobs, this is his second consecutive voluntary defense after his win over Caleb Truax in his recent first defense. It looks like Jacob’s adviser Al Haymon isn’t taking any chances with him by taking his time before he’s finally forced to defend against his No.1 Chris Eubank Jr. or Tureano Johnson.

Malignaggi and Daniel Jacobs quotes

BROOKLYN (July 8, 2015) – Former two-division world champion Paulie “The Magic Man” Malignaggi, middleweight world champion Daniel “The Miracle Man” Jacobs, President of DiBella Entertainment Lou DiBella and CEO of Barclays Center Brett Yormark took time today to discuss the upcoming Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN fights taking place Saturday, August 1 at Barclays Center.

Daniel Jacobs: I see Sergio Mora as the most devastating opponent I’ve had thus far

by

mora1By Dan Ambrose: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (29-1, 26 KOs) is taking seriously his title defense next month on August 1st against former WBA junior middleweight champion Sergio Mora (28-3-2, 9 KOs) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Mora, 34, is ranked only #11 by the WBA, and is clearly not the same fighter he once was seven years ago when he was the WBA 154lb champ, but he’s easily one of the better fighters than Jacobs has fought during his career.

Daniel Jacobs defends against Sergio Mora on August 1st

by

jacobs45By Dan Ambrose: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (29-1, 26 KOs) will be taking another voluntary defense of his WBA title on August 1st against #11 WBA fringe contender Sergio Mora (28-3-2, 9 KOs) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

It’s a safe fight for Jacobs, who hasn’t faced a tough opponent since getting blown out in 6 rounds by Dmitry Pirog in 2010. With all the available options for Jacobs to fight, Mora is clearly one of the safer fights for him due to his lack of punching power and his advanced age of 34.

garcia677By Dan Ambrose: 27-year-old WBA/WBC 140lb champion Danny Garcia (30-0, 17 KOs) is expected to be back in the ring in less than two months against 34-year-old former two division world champion Paulie Malignaggi (33-6, 7 KOs) kin a fight at welterweight on August 1st on Premier Boxing Champions from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Dan Rafael of ESPN is reporting that the fight is in the works. If the fight does come off, Garcia would be taking his third straight fight at welterweight. It’s unclear when he’ll be officially stripped of his WBA/WBC 140lb titles because Garcia hasn’t defended them since March of 2014.

Sergio Mora defeats Abie Han by split decision

by

mora544By Dan Ambrose: In a fight that was a lot tougher than expected for 34-year-old former WBC 154 pound champion Sergio Mora (28-3-2, 9 KOs), he had to battle hard to defeat ESPN regular Abie Han (23-2, 14 KOs) by a close 12 round split decision on Friday night at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

It was a fight that could have literally gone either way, as many of the rounds were extremely close. Mora was exhausted in the last three rounds of the fight, and he clearly lost – or should have lost – those rounds.

Jermain Taylor defends IBF title against Sergio Mora on 2/6 in Biloxi, Miss

by

mora1By Dan Ambrose: IBF 160lb champion Jermain Taylor (33-4, 20 KOs) will be defending his title against the aging fringe contender Sergio Mora (27-3-2, 9 KOs) on February 6th at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

This is an ideal first title defense for the 36-year-old Taylor, because Mora doesn’t have the kind of power that has traditionally given Taylor problems in the past. Taylor has suffered bad knockouts at the hands of Kelly Pavlik, Arthur Abraham and Carl Froch. However, Taylor has always done good against fighters with little in the way of power, and he should be fine against Mora.
