Jacobs has been training in Oakland, California, for more than a month for the biggest fight of his nine-year pro career, which also will be televised via pay-per-view by HBO Sports. “I just think it’s really disrespectful that they’re negotiating to fight Canelo in September,” Connolly said. “I understand that there’s a business side to the equation, but they’re totally wasting their time. Danny is looking amazing in training camp and not only is he gonna win on March 18th, we think he’s gonna knock out Triple-G in the first half of the fight.” Like Chavez in his fight against Alvarez, Brooklyn’s Jacobs is a big underdog, slightly more than 5-1, three weeks in advance of his 12-round fight against Kazakhstan’s Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs). The 30-year-old Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) is bigger than Golovkin, though, and generally regarded as the best combination of boxer and puncher that Golovkin, 34, has agreed to fight during a pro career that began in May 2006. “They think they’re helping their position by negotiating this Canelo deal,” Connolly said, “but it’s only spurring Danny on to train even harder to prove everybody wrong. It has definitely given Danny extra motivation. He’s totally feeling overlooked and disrespected, and Triple-G is gonna pay for that come March 18th.” - See more at:
