From the press conferences to the weigh in, emotions have been leading into this fight. Daniel Jacobs vs Peter Quillin will be a fight you don’t want to miss.
If you thought that boxing was dead, you might’ve thought right but the sport is making its way back to the top. Fans are starting to get back into it and now, even fighters are coming back. What’s ultra special about Daniel Jacobs vs Peter Quillin is that, not only are they friends but they’re both from Brooklyn.
Tomorrow night’s fight takes place in the Barclays Center and it’s headlined, “The winner takes the belt and Brooklyn.” Who wants it more? Both fighter’s are eager for this belt. On one hand, you have Peter Quillin, who is undefeated with 32 wins and won a match earlier this year. On the other hand, you have Daniel Jacobs, who only has one loss, managed to come back into the ring after battling osteosarcoma in 2011, which is a life threatening form of bone cancer. That was probably the toughest battle for Jacobs. Both have been hard at work this year.
During yesterday’s press conference, you can tell that both fighters have set their friendship aside because this is about business and their careers.
