On the Calzaghe-Jones undercard, but not on the broadcast, super middleweight prospect Daniel Jacobs smashed Jimmy Campbell over three lopsided rounds. Campbell is never going to win a world title or be anything more in boxing than an opponent, but he's a good guy. Campbell went into Jacob's dressing room at Madison Square Garden to congratulate him after the fight and noticed that Jacobs was wearing white gym socks with his dark suit. Turns out that Jacobs had forgotten to bring a pair of dress socks. So Campbell ran back to his dressing room and returned with an extra pair of dark socks and gave them to Jacobs. That's class.

It is a feel good story and it just shows that there is a real fraternity and camaraderie with boxers. Some boxers like Morales and Barrera might hate each other to the bone but by far most fighters support each other before and after the fight.

reminds me of Judah

Zab takes some flak for his attitude among fans and even some media, but when Lampley noted last weekend that he was well-liked within the boxing community, it wasn’t the first time I’d heard that. There’s obviously a lot more to these guys than we see or hear.
