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.
