Danny Jacobs is New York City's next hope for a world champion fighter. As a professional Middleweight, the contender is 18 - 0 with 15 knockouts, most of which happened within minutes of the opening round. Danny made his pro debut as the undercard fight to the highly publicized Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton battle, and destroyed his opponent, Jose Jesus Hurtado by TKO in just 29 seconds. His next ten fights combined for a total of 13 rounds and left a string of victims who were literally beaten senseless face down on the ring's floor. Jacobs has been compared to Mike Tyson due to his savage beatings and quick assaulting knockouts, but unlike Tyson, when Jacobs is outside of the ring, he's a self described "Momma's boy and family man", who's looking to be New York City 's iconic sports figure. Earlier this year Jacobs defeated Ishe Smith, (whom people might remember from Sylvester Stallone's reality show, The Contender), for the NABO Middleweight title. He's roughly 3 victories away from being the Middleweight Champion of the World and Brooklyn's next big thing.
