Tom Loeffler on Gennady Golovkin vs. Danny Jacobs in NYC
The idea of matching IBF/WBA middleweight titlist Gennady Golovkin against Danny Jacobs may not seem so far-fetched anymore.
After making the fight with Al Haymon-advised Dominic Wade and Golovkin for April 23 on HBO, K2 Promotions Mmanaging Director Tom Loeffler spoke of a day when he has to deal with another Haymon-guided fighter in Brooklyn’s Jacobs, who is coming off a stunning first-round stoppage of Peter Quillin in December.
Golovkin-Jacobs in New York, from where Jacobs hails and where Golovkin has a strong fan base? Loeffler allowed himself to dream a little on Wednesday.
“Being able to make this fight with Wade, if (Golovkin is) successful, then certainly a fight with Danny Jacobs, who is clearly at the top also of the middleweight division – he had a very impressive knockout of Peter Quillin,” Loeffler told RingTV.com. “And Gennady being able to sell out (Madison Square Garden) in his last fight – you can only imagine how big a fight between Gennady and Jacobs would be in New York. That would be a monster fight in the New York area. From our side, there wouldn’t be any obstacles to making that fight.”
