By 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.
