Revel In NY: Boxer Danny Jacobs 

Produced by Scott Newman and Marc Santo

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.

He made his pro debut as the undercard fight to the highly publicized Floyd Mayweather vs. Ricky Hatton battle, and destroyed his opponent 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. He's roughly 3 victories away from being the Middleweight Champion of the World and Brooklyn's next big thing.
