The Night Daniel Jacobs (Almost) Shocked The World

The Night Daniel Jacobs (Almost) Shocked The World

805

By: Sean Crose

It was a snowy late afternoon in Manhattan as I slushed my way from Grand Central Terminal to Madison Square Garden. After getting past the security check, I received my press pass and made my way through the cavernous back rooms of the venue towards the arena itself. It’s strange being alone in an empty, or nearly empty, Madison Square Garden. The seats, which will soon be filled with thousands of people, are empty. The electronic visuals, which will soon be so much a part of the pomp and circumstance, are flashing for no one. And, if it’s a fight night, the chilling effect of an empty boxing ring in the middle of it all is both exciting and perhaps even foreboding to see.

And so, all by myself it seemed, I got comfortable that night at “The Garden,” setting up my laptop while “24K Magic” echoed throughout the sound system. I was feeling good. It was almost time. Gennady Golovkin, the avoided middleweight terror, was mere hours away from trading blows with the hard hitting Brooklynite Daniel Jacobs. I expected a good fight…but even I didn’t expect to walk back out into the streets of New York nine hours later feeling Jacobs had won the title, that the judges’ decision had gone to the wrong man. Yet, almost five years later, I haven’t changed my opinion that Daniel Jacobs had done enough to dethrone Golovkin that Saint Patrick’s Day weekend in New York.

Not that the fight wasn’t exceedingly close. Fans, both those in the sold out Madison Square Garden, and those watching on pay per view, saw Jacobs boxing very well in the first and second…and even the third. When Golovkin sent his man to the mat in the fourth, it looked like things were over. Jacobs got off and fought on, however, never to go down again in the fight. The following, from the write up I penned that night at the Garden, perhaps serves to show how tight the battle was. “Jacobs went on, in the opinion of this author, to win the seventh,” I wrote. “The eighth was an extremely close affair, with Jacobs getting the combinations in, but Golovkin landing stronger. It was becoming a hard fight to call.”

And a hard fight to call it was. Still, once the final bell rang, and I read the personal scorecard I had been keeping throughout the bout, I was stunned to see that I had given Jacobs more rounds than GGG. I then learned other writers on the scene had given the fight to Jacobs, as well. Yet I won’t go so far as to call the final and ultimate decision of the judges – who ruled in favor of Golovkin – a robbery. This was a match far too close for hyperbole to get involved. The judges saw what they saw. I and others in that packed throng of people simply saw things differently.

Still, it bothers me that Jacobs never rose to the heights he did that night again. It’s as if that fight with GGG took the best out of him. Or did it? We may find out tomorrow when the “Miracle Man” faces John Ryder in Britain.

    Instead of keeping your digital assets on a Bitcoin exchange, you could keep your BTC in a Bitcoin wallet. Wallets come in two forms — hot and cold. Hot wallets are software that stays connected to the internet, aka storing your Bitcoin online in a digital wallet or a mobile wallet. It is more convenient to transact via a hot wallet, but they are more susceptible to being attacked. Cold storage of your new Bitcoin is possible by using hardware wallets, but online wallets are potentially more user-friendly for crypto newbies. There are plenty of exchanges and ways to buy Bitcoin in 2023. Do you know how to choose the best exchanges to buy bitcoin? Some are better than others, and each of them has different characteristics. First of all, remember that the amount of Bitcoin you have will make a big difference in how you can cash out. For small amounts of Bitcoin, you can simply sell it on an exchange or to a person you know who is also interested in cryptocurrency. However, for larger amounts of Bitcoin, you may need to use a specialized service that can help you convert your Bitcoin into cash without incurring high fees. In addition to choosing the right service, there are a few more tips to make your Bitcoin cash-out experience as smooth as possible when dealing with bigger sums.
    https://list-wiki.win/index.php?title=I_bought_$20_in_bitcoin_now_what
    It is estimated that the top 1000 bitcoin addresses own approximately 35% of the total bitcoin in circulation. There are also thousands of individuals who hold large stashes of bitcoin but have chosen to remain anonymous. Bitcoin’s substantial appreciation in price, to around $69,000 in November 2021 and a peak market capitalization of $1.3 trillion, has consequently produced several Bitcoin millionaires and other affluent holders along the way. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the people, companies and wallets which have become crypto whales and investigate the amounts of Bitcoin they hold, based on on-chain data and their own public announcements. Despite crypto’s growing popularity, relatively few people own a large chunk of bitcoin, making the digital currency much more vulnerable to large price swings from week to week, Makarov and Schoar said in their study. Makarov and Schoar collected data from bitcoin’s inception 13 years ago to the end of 2020, when there were roughly 15 million bitcoin in circulation. There are 19 million bitcoins currently in circulation, according to Blockchain data. The maximum number of bitcoins that can ever exist is 21 million.
