#Thurminators/Ghost was too one-sided for it to be better than Omar/Ricky

Maybe from a marquee name standpoint it delivered, but that was it. I'd even say Swift/Peterson was more entertaining.

Thurman pretty much pitched a shutout minus a couple late rounds.

the fact that ghost got his ass whooped like he did validating what we said about him to ppl who think ghost is legit at 147 breh...plus it was decisive with ghost trying his damndest to do something with a gassed keith but kept on getting his ass whooped to the final bell ..gives it that extra edge

the fact that swift-peterson and omar-ricky were controversial decisions leaves a sour taste for me on those fights..omar-ricky was damn good but omar wasn't whooped..just outboxed...however the swift-peterson thread is one of the best threads created in here though...it stimulated the right kind of boxing conversation for many pages

SOG is my boy, but he'd be better off moving the fight to June 13th or June 27th. Nobody is gonna watch him face Paul Smith when Broner vs Porter + Spence is fighting on NBC at the same time

Danny Jacobs vs. Matthew Macklin in the works for Aug. or Sept. on PBC


A fight between WBA middleweight champion Danny Jacobs and Matthew Macklin is in the works.
Jacobs told USA TODAY Sports that he’ll make the second defense of his title in August or September at Barclays Center in his native Brooklyn.

“I’ve been hearing Matthew Macklin, which I think is great opponent at the moment,” Jacobs said, adding that there’s a second potential opponent. “… Everything is all in the air until Al Haymon confirms it.”
Jacobs (29-1, 26 KOs) was one of the top prospects in boxing, but was knocked out by Dmitry Pirog in his first world title opportunity (July 2010). One year later, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive cancer, but overcame the tumor that temporarily paralyzed him, earning the nickname “Miracle Man.” He returned to the ring in March 2011 and after seven fights was a world champion.

Jacobs, 28, wants to make up for lost time, and made the first defense of his title with a 12th round stoppage of Caleb Truax in April.

“I just want to fight and stay active, that’s my main thing,”said Jacobs, who yearns for a fight this year against fellow Brooklynite Peter Quillin. “… I think Macklin’s a great fight.”

Eddie Hearn, who promotes Macklin, confirmed the fight is being negotiated.

“I think that Macklin’s done enough, he’s boxed on HBO enough times — he lost to (Gennady) Golovkin, fair enough — but he gave a good performance against (Sergio) Martinez,” Hearn said. “So I think he’s big enough to be a credible opponent.”

Macklin (32-6, 21 KOs), would easily represent the toughest assignment of Jacobs’ career. And that’s just the way he likes it.

“We’re trying to climb the ladder,” Jacobs said, “we’re stepping up, better and better opposition every time.”

nah..not a fan of that fight..macklin is finished..jacobs is ko'ing him within 3 rounds unless he carries him like he did truax...and thats not a good fight to headline pbc either

Jacobs really is a joke of a champion

Macklin got KTFO in his fight before last vs Heiland.

does Jacobs really have no shame or think because hes a cancer survivor hes allowed to keep defending his belt vs weak opposition

Macklin is shot

whatever pirog is doing he needs to heal up and take another belt away from danny...this is not good matchmaking for him...he won and has defended his "belt" against fighters with no real type of notoriety

Let's not forget where Salido's punches landed in that fight. He used Loma's balls as a speed bag.
