上周六戈洛夫金VS雅各布斯之间的战斗,做为赛前八赔一被看好的优势方,戈洛夫金意外的只是以点数击败雅各布斯,23场比赛连续KO对手的记录被终结。
按IBF的规定,禁止拳手在周五第一次称重后到第二天早上补液超过十磅。戈洛夫金周五的重量为159.6磅,周六上午为169.8磅,这就证明戈洛夫金有权保留他的IBF冠军。但周五称重159.8磅的雅各布斯没有参加第二天的称重。
戈洛夫金在周六晚上(赛前)HBO非官方的称重为170磅,雅各布斯拒绝了HBO对他称重。雅各布斯在点数败给戈洛夫金后表示,自己大概是175磅。
就这个问题戈洛夫金的回答是;“这是雅各布斯的问题,我尊重这项运动,我尊重拳击,这是IBF的规定。这是雅各布斯的问题,不是我的问题,跟我没关系”。
最后戈洛夫金补充说,对于雅各布斯称重时失踪的情况,他并没有生气。六英尺的雅各布斯承认自己错过了称重,因为他想对五英尺十英寸的戈洛夫金保持一个身体上的优势。
雅各布斯回应;“这不是我不尊重第二天的称重,这是我的特权。要6点起床,早上7点钟称重,并被限制在170磅,但我只想保持身体的水分,而不必专注于小事情。虽然我尊重拳击运动,尊重所有的制裁和对体重的规定。
但对我来说,我真的很专注于这场战斗,我们有一个比赛计划,我们想确保利用体格大小方面的差距,需要保持有最好的营养。早起对我来说,真的是一件难事,不是因为我们超重,是因为我不想出现任何问题”。
NEW YORK – Daniel Jacobs and his handlers had a weight plan in place prior to his fight Saturday night against Gennady Golovkin. They weren’t about to disrupt that blueprint by participating in the IBF’s second-day weigh-in Saturday morning. That essentially was Jacobs’ explanation for skipping a second-day weigh-in that would’ve restricted how much weight he could gain following the official weigh-in Friday morning for their middleweight title fight. The IBF’s second-day weigh-ins prohibit boxers from adding more than 10 pounds over their division’s limit between the official weigh-in and the morning of a fight. In this case, Golovkin and Jacobs couldn’t weigh more than 170 pounds on Saturday morning if they wanted to fight for the IBF title. Golovkin, who weighed in at 159.6 pounds Friday, was 169.8 pounds Saturday morning. He retained his IBF title even before the bout began because Jacobs, who weighed 159.8 pounds Friday, missed the second-day weigh-in. Kazakhstan’s Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) weighed 170 pounds on HBO’s unofficial scale Saturday night. Brooklyn’s Jacobs (32-2, 29 KOs) wouldn’t allow HBO to weigh him Saturday night, but said following his unanimous-decision defeat to Golovkin that he was “probably about 175” pounds when their 12-round battle began at Madison Square Garden. Golovkin, who successfully defended his WBA, WBC and IBO titles by beating Jacobs, never considered skipping the IBF’s second-day weigh-in. “It’s his problem,” Golovkin said. “I respect my sport. I respect boxing. This IBF [situation], it’s his problem, not mine. It doesn’t matter to me.” The 34-year-old Golovkin added, though, that he wasn’t angry at Jacobs for missing the second-day weigh-in. The 6-feet Jacobs acknowledged that he missed it because he wanted to make sure he had a significant size advantage of the 5-feet-10 Golovkin. “It wasn’t really me being disrespectful,” Jacobs said of skipping the second-day weigh-in. “It’s my prerogative to wanna get up at 6, 7 o’clock in the morning to do a weigh-in, and be restricted to 170 pounds. So it was mainly me just wanting to stay hydrated and not have to focus on the little things, even though I respect this boxing game. I respect all [sanctioning bodies] and their rulings. “But for me, I really wanted to focus on this fight. And we had a game plan. We wanted to make sure we used our size and we had the best possible nutrition that we can. And waking up early, for me, was just a hard thing to do. Not because we were overweight, but I didn’t wanna have an issue whatsoever.” The 30-year-old Jacobs overcame a fourth-round knockdown Saturday night to give Golovkin the most challenging fight of his 10-year pro career. Jacobs also halted Golovkin’s 23-fight knockout streak, which began in November 2008. |
