Danny Jacobs and Giovanni Lorenzo both made weight Sunday afternoon, so it looks like we're a go for the Monday clash between the middleweights at the Best Buy Theater in New York City. Jacobs (25-1, 22 KOs), 26, the Brownsville native who kicked cancer's tail in 2011 and is nearing the cusp of a title shot, needs to get past perennial challenger Lorenzo (32-5, 24 KOs), a 32-year-old Dominican-born Yonkers resident. Check out this video I shot of Jacobs, back in October 2012, in which he talks about growing up in Brownsville, which has a rich boxing history, boasting alumni such as Mike Tyson, Zab Judah, Floyd Patterson and Riddick Bowe.
