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.

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.

By Jeff Aranow: The rematch between WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) and 35-year-old Sergio Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) will no longer be fighting on July 30 on the Showtime Boxing televised card. Instead, Jacobs and Mora will be headlining their own card in August or September, according to RingTV.com.

The Jacobs-Mora II fight was supposed to be the co-feature bout on the Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton card on 7/30 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Daniel Jacobs to fight on July 30, Sergio Mora possible

By Eric Baldwin: Last December, WBA middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) picked up a career best 1st round knockout win over Peter Quillin in their “Battle of Brooklyn” fight. Jacobs will be back inside the ring on July 30th on the undercard of the Carl Frampton vs. Leo Santa Cruz fight card.

Jacobs’ opponent is said to be the “Latin Snake” Sergio Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs). Jacobs stopped the 35-year-old Mora in the 2nd round last year in August. The rationale behind a second fight between Jacobs and Mora would have to be due to the way their previous fight ended with Mora suffering an ankle injury in the 2nd round.

By Dan Ambrose: WBA World middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) will be fighting for the first time in 2016 on July 30 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The potential opponent that Jacobs will be facing on that date is 35-year-old Sergio “The Latin Snake” Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs) if the fight can get made.

Jacobs already defeated Mora by a 3rd round stoppage last year in August 2015. Mora suffered a right ankle injury in the 3rd round and wasn’t able to continue fighting. Both fighters were down in the exciting 1st round of the bout. Jacobs began to dominate in the 2nd and by the 3rd, it looked like it was going to be only a matter of time before was stopped.

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

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.

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.
